'Credited' in the Bible
Therefore, if the uncircumcised person follows the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be credited for circumcision?
For what does the scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness."
Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited according to grace, but according to his due.
But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,
Therefore, [is] this blessing for {those who are circumcised}, or also for {those who are uncircumcised}? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness."
How then was it credited? [While he] was {circumcised} or {uncircumcised}? Not {while circumcised} but {while uncircumcised}!
And he received the sign of circumcision [as] a seal of the righteousness by faith which [he had] {while uncircumcised}, so that he could be the father of all who believe {although they are uncircumcised}, so that righteousness could be credited to them,
But it was not written for the sake of him alone that it was credited to him,
but also for the sake of us to whom it is going to be credited, to those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,
And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness," and he was called God's friend.
