NASB | Genesis 15:6 Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 15:6 Then Abram believed in (affirmed, trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the LORD; and He counted (credited) it to him as righteousness (doing right in regard to God and man). [Rom 4:3, 18-22; Gal 3:6; James 2:23] |
Bible Question: "reckoned to him as righteousness". Is there a NT phrase that would help me understand this? |
Bible Answer: Romans chapter four is the passage you are looking for. The Greek word for reckon is LOGIZOMAI, and is used 11 times in this chapter, many times in reference to Abe. It is rendered reckon, impute, account. The idea is that a righteous standing before God is imputed to us on the basis of our faith, and not earned on the basis of our works. Start in chapter three for the entire context. Enjoy! |
