'Held' in the Bible

For we maintain that it is as the result of faith that a man is held to be righteous, apart from actions done in obedience to Law.

For if he was held to be righteous on the ground of his actions, he has something to boast of; but not in the presence of God.

But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.
