Counted as righteousness

Genesis 15:5–6

Seed as the stars; Abram 'believed in the LORD.' Paul builds Romans 4 and Galatians 3 on these two verses.

5And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. 6And he believed in Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.
