Hebrews 11:17-19

AUV(i) 17 By [having] faith, when Abraham was tested [by God], he offered Isaac [as a sacrifice]. [Even though] he had received the promises [of having many descendants], he was ready to offer his only conceived [and eventually born] son, 18 [even though] he had been told [by God, Gen. 21:12], “Your descendants will be traced through Isaac.” 19 [So], he reasoned that God was able to raise up [Isaac] from the dead, which, in a sense, he did receive him back [from the dead].
