3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Imputation
   is used to designate any action or word or thing as reckoned to
   a person. Thus in doctrinal language (1) the sin of Adam is
   imputed to all his descendants, i.e., it is reckoned as theirs,
   and they are dealt with therefore as guilty; (2) the
   righteousness of Christ is imputed to them that believe in him,
   or so attributed to them as to be considered their own; and (3)
   our sins are imputed to Christ, i.e., he assumed our
   "law-place," undertook to answer the demands of justice for our
   sins. In all these cases the nature of imputation is the same
   (Rom. 5:12-19; comp. Philemon 1:18, 19).
