23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, (A)“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a (B)friend of God.

just as (A)Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

Know then that it is (B)those of faith who are (C)the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that (D)God would justify[a] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, (E)“In you shall all the nations be blessed.” So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

10 For all who rely on works of the law are (F)under a curse; for it is written, (G)“Cursed be everyone who does not (H)abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that (I)no one is justified before God by the law, for (J)“The righteous shall live by faith.”[b] 12 But the law is not of faith, rather (K)“The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ (L)redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, (M)“Cursed is everyone who is hanged (N)on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might (O)come to the Gentiles, so that (P)we might receive (Q)the promised Spirit[c] through faith.

20 No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that (A)God was able to do what he had promised. 22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” 23 But (B)the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, 24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us (C)who believe in (D)him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25 (E)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised (F)for our justification.

For what does the Scripture say? (A)“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Now (B)to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but (C)believes in[a] him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
