B. N. Cardozo
The second meaning, for someone to attribute or credit a person with something is the actual intended meaning when some archaic translations use the word "impute" to translate logizomai (G3049), which actually meams to take into account, and thus apply a consequence for a condition.
The KJV translates the Greek logizomai about 7 times as impute or imputed or imputeth.
In Romans 4:6 David says it is a blessing for God to attribute righteousness without works. Here the attribution is based on God crediting the individuals "faith" as righteousness.
In Romans 4:8 scripture says another blessing is when God does not apply the consequence of sin to an individual, which of course can be applied to everyone washed with the blood of Jesus.
In Romans 4:11, scripture says a person does not need to be physically circumcised in order to have righteousness ascribed to them based on God crediting their faith as righteousness.
In Romans 4:22 Abraham's belief in the promises of God resulted in his faith being credited to him as righteousness.
In Romans 4:23-24 righteousness was not credited for the sake of Abraham alone, but will be credited to all who believe upon God who raised Jesus from the grave. In verse 25 the idea is that Jesus was raised to facilitate our justification based on our faith.
In James 2:23, scripture indicates again that Abraham's faith was attributed to him as righteousness.
