Romans 4:22

Justification Faith

²⁰ Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

²¹ being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.

This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”

²³ Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,

²⁴ but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
