The Scripture (ἡ γραφὴ)

The scripture passage. See on Joh 2:22; and footnote on Joh 5:47.

It was counted for righteousness (ἐλογίσθη εἰς δικαιοσύνην)

For the phrase λογίζεσθαι εἰς to reckon unto, compare Rom 2:26; Rom 9:8, where εἰς is rendered for. The verb is also used with ὡς as. So Rom 8:36; 1Co 4:1. So in Sept., εἰς, Psa 56:1-13 :31; Isa 29:17; Isa 32:15; Isa 40:17 : ὡς. Gen 31:15; Job 41:20; Psa 44:22; Isa 5:28; Isa 29:16. The phrases ἐλογίσθη εἰς and ἐλ. ὡς are thus shown to be substantially equivalent. See further on Rom 4:5.
