Romans 4:3

What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."

Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness
Romans 4:4-5 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Romans 4:9-10 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have a saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness. Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before!
Romans 4:22 This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness."
Genesis 15:6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
Galatians 3:6 Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.
