Genesis 15:6

He counted it to him for righteousness] Faithful Abraham gave up his own will to the will of God, did not seek to force his way in the world (Genesis 14:22), but awaited God's blessing in His good time. And this attitude of trust and submission was esteemed by God. St. Paul quotes this passage to show that mankind are accepted by God through their faith apart from any observance of the Mosaic law, which indeed had not at the period referred to in this passage come into existence. See Romans 4:5; Galatians 3; Hebrews 11; James 2.
