So then those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

And he believed in Jehovah, and He accounted it unto him for righteousness.

For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted unto righteousness,

Why? Because it was not by faith, but as out of works of the Law. For they stumbled at the stumbling stone.

As it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.

And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. And he was called, Friend of God.

just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God accounts righteousness apart from works:

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, that righteousness might be accounted to them also;

And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.

but also for us, to whom it shall be accounted, believing in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the Word of reconciliation.

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
