Credited

Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.

If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

…be sure to return it to him by sunset, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness before the LORD your God.

It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.

For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.

However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.

In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,

…but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.

And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
