(YLT)   but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned -- to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,
(KJV)   But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
(ASV)   but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
