Exegesis
The next clause, kai elogisthē autō eis dikaiosynēn {καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην | kaí elogísthē autō̂ eis dikaiosýnēn}, uses a divine passive to show the crediting of righteousness to Abraham, with autō as the recipient and eis dikaiosynēn expressing the result.
In context — James 2:23
And the Scripture was fulfilled when it declared, “Abraham believed God , and it was credited to him as righteousness ,” and he was designated a friend of God.
