“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. The dramatic reversal: trusting God rather than trusting one's own works becomes the basis of justification. God justifies the ungodly—not the righteous, but sinners. Faith is the vehicle; righteousness is the result. Abraham's trust in God despite his ungodliness becomes the model.
