⁶ Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.^(A)

³ What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”^[a](A)

⁵ However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.^(A)

⁹ Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised?^(A) We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.^(B)

¹¹ And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised.^(A) So then, he is the father^(B) of all who believe^(C) but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

¹³ It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise^(A) that he would be heir of the world,^(B) but through the righteousness that comes by faith.^(C)

²⁰ Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened^(A) in his faith and gave glory to God,^(B)

²² This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”^(A)

²⁴ but also for us,^(A) to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him^(B) who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.^(C)
