Verse 6
believed: i.e. believed Jehovah = believed what he "heard" (Romans 10:17 ).
counted = reckoned or imputed. righteousness. No art. = as righteousness. This was positive imputed righteousness (because he believed concerning Christ). It was more than forensic righteousness, which was negative or nonimputation of sin (Psalms 32:1 , Psalms 32:2 ). This was the consequence of the Gospel preached to Abram. (Compare Galatians 3:8 , and read Rom 4 and Galatians 3:0 ).
