Romans 4:8 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Blessed is the man, &c.— See on Psalms 32:1-2 and the Inferences. Will not impute sin] What the imputing or reckoning of righteousness is, Romans 4:6 may be seen in this verse, namely. "the not reckoning of sin to any one;"—"the not putting sin to his account;" the Apostle, in these verses, using the expressions as equivalent. Hence the expression of blotting out iniquity, so frequently used in sacred Scripture, may be understood; that is, the striking it out of the account. The Greek word Λογιζεσθαι, signifies to reckon or account; and, with a dative case, to put to any one's account. See Locke on Romans 4:3 and the note on Romans 4:22.
