Romans 4:1-3

What then will we say Abraham, our father according to flesh, to have found? For if Abraham was made righteous from works, he has a boast, but not before God. For what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

Genesis 15:1-6

After these things the word of LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram. I am thy shield, thy exceedingly great reward. And Abram said, O lord LORD, what will thou give me, since I go childless. And he who shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, Behold, thou have given no seed to me.

And he believed in LORD, and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.

Romans 4:9-22

Is this blessedness therefore upon men of circumcision, or also upon men of uncircumcision? For we say, Faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. How then was it reckoned? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of his faith during uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those who believe during uncircumcision (for righteousness to also be imputed to them),read more.
and father of those of circumcision, to those not only of circumcision, but also to those who march in the steps of faith--of that during the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. For the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, was not through law, but through a righteousness of faith. For if those from law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been made useless. For the law works wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression. Because of this it is from faith, so that it is according to grace, in order for the promise to be sure to all the seed, not only to the seed from the law, but also to the seed from the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing. Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be. And not being weak in faith he did not regard his body, which was now deadened (being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but became strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what he promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

Galatians 3:6-9

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness. Ye know therefore that those from faith, these are sons of Abraham. And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good-news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed.read more.
So then those from faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

Romans 4:6-8

Just as David also tells the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness independent of works, saying, Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is a man to whom the Lord does, no, not impute sin.

Psalm 32:1-2

Blessed {are those (LXX/NT)} whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom LORD does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Romans 4:4-5

Now to the man being employed, the wage is not reckoned according to grace, but according to obligation. But to the man not being employed, but who believes in him who makes the impious man righteous, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

How that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Galatians 3:7-9

And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good-news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed. So then those from faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

James 2:20-24

But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? Thou see that faith was working with his works, and from the works, faith was fully perfected.read more.
And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God. Ye see therefore that from works a man is made righteous, and not from faith only.
