2 Chronicles 20:20
20And they rose early in the morning and went out into athe wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! bBelieve in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.”John 11:23-26

It will be counted to us uwho believe in vhim who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25 wwho was delivered up for our trespasses and raised xfor our justification.
