Exegesis
Abraam {Ἀβραὰμ | Abraám} is the subject of the aorist passive edikaiōthē {ἐδικαιώθη | e-di-kai-ṓ-thē}, presenting justification as a decisive forensic declaration, while the present echei {ἔχει | é-khei} states its logical consequence—kauchēma {καύχημα | káu-khē-ma} as the potential ground for pride.
In context — Romans 4:2
If Abraham were justified by works, he would have a basis for boasting , yet not in the presence of God .
