'Counts' in the Bible

Circumcision does indeed profit, if you obey the Law; but if you are a Law-breaker, the fact that you have been circumcised counts for nothing.

Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

For if it is the righteous through Law who are heirs, then faith is useless and the promise counts for nothing.

So neither the one who plants counts for anything, nor the one who waters, but God who causes the growth.

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Instead, keeping God's commandments is what counts.

We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.

For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love.

For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that matters is a new creation!
