Bible verses about "sarah" | ISV

¹⁵ Hagar eventually gave birth to Abram’s son. Abram named his son whom Hagar bore Ishmael.

¹⁷ Abraham fell to the ground, laughed, and told himself, “Can a child be born to a 100-year-old man? Can a 90-year-old Sarah give birth?”

³⁰ Sarai was barren, so she had not borne children.

¹² That’s why Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “After I’m so old and my husband is old, too, am I going to have sex?”

¹⁰ Then one of them said, “I will certainly return to you in about a year’s time. By then, your wife Sarah will have borne a son.”
Now Sarah was listening at the tent entrance behind him.

² Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the very time that God had told him.

¹⁴ Is anything impossible for the LORD? At the time set for it, I will return to you—about a year from now—and Sarah will have a son.”

¹⁵ Sarah’s Pregnancy ForetoldGod told Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are not to call her Sarai any longer, because her name is to be Sarah.

¹⁹ But God replied, “No, but your wife Sarah will give birth to your son, and you are to name him Isaac. I’ll confirm my covenant with him as an eternal covenant for his descendants.

¹ Wives and HusbandsIn a similar way, you wives must submit yourselves to your husbands so that, even if some of them refuse to obey the word, they may be won over without a word through your conduct as wives ² when they see your pure and reverent lives.
³ Your beauty should not be an external one, consisting of braided hair or the wearing of gold ornaments and dresses. ⁴ Instead, it should be the inner disposition of the heart, consisting in the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which God values greatly. ⁵ After all, this is how holy women who set their hope on God used to make themselves beautiful in the past. They submitted themselves to their husbands, ⁶ just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You have become her daughters by doing good and by not letting anything terrify you.
⁷ In a similar way, you husbands must live with your wives in an understanding manner, as with a most delicate partner. Honor them as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing may interfere with your prayers.
⁸ When You are WrongedFinally, all of you must live in harmony, be sympathetic, love as brothers, and be compassionate and humble. ⁹ Do not pay others back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, keep blessing them, because you were called to inherit a blessing. ¹⁰ “For the person who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. ¹¹ He must turn away from evil and do good. He must seek peace and pursue it. ¹² For the Lord watches the righteous, and he pays attention to their prayers. But the Lord opposes those who do wrong.” ¹³ Who will harm you if you are devoted to doing what is good? ¹⁴ But even if you should suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. “Never be afraid of their threats, and never get upset. ¹⁵ Instead, exalt the Messiah” as Lord in your lives. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you to explain the hope you have. ¹⁶ But do this gently and respectfully, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak evil of your good conduct in the Messiah will be ashamed of slandering you. ¹⁷ After all, if it is the will of God, it is better to suffer for doing right than for doing wrong. ¹⁸ For the Messiah also suffered for sins once for all, an innocent person for the guilty, so that he could bring you to God. He was put to death in a mortal body but was brought to life by the Spirit, ¹⁹ in which he went and made a proclamation to those imprisoned spirits ²⁰ who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah, when God waited patiently while the ark was being built. In it a few, that is, eight persons, were saved by water. ²¹ Baptism, which is symbolized by that water, now saves you also, not by removing dirt from the body, but by asking God for a clear conscience based on the resurrection of Jesus, the Messiah, ²² who has gone to heaven and is at the right hand of God, where angels, authorities, and powers have been made subject to him.

¹ Isaac is BornThe LORD came to Sarah, just as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. ² Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the very time that God had told him.
³ Abraham named his son who was born to him Isaac—the very one whom Sarah bore for him! ⁴ On the eighth day after his son Isaac had been born, Abraham circumcised him, just as God had commanded him. ⁵ Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
⁶ Now Sarah had said, “God has caused me to laugh, and all who hear about it will laugh with me.” ⁷ She also said, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse sons? Yet I have given birth to a son in my husband’s old age!”
⁸ Hagar and Ishmael LeaveThe child grew and eventually was weaned, so Abraham threw a tremendous banquet on the very day Isaac was weaned. ⁹ Nevertheless, when Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian—whom Hagar had borne to Abraham—making fun of Isaac, ¹⁰ she told Abraham, “Throw out this slave girl, along with her son, because this slave’s son will never be a co-heir with my son Isaac!”
¹¹ Abraham was very troubled about what was being said about his son, ¹² but God told Abraham, “Don’t be troubled about the youth and your slave girl. Pay attention to Sarah in everything she tells you, because your offspring are to be named through Isaac. ¹³ Nevertheless, I will make the slave girl’s son into a nation, since he, too, is your offspring.”
¹⁴ So early the next morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a leather bottle of water, gave them to Hagar, and placed them on her shoulder. He then sent her away, along with the child. She went off and roamed in the Beer-sheba wilderness. ¹⁵ Eventually, the water in the leather bottle ran out, so she placed the child under one of the bushes. ¹⁶ Then she went and sat by herself about a distance of a bowshot away, because she kept saying to herself, “I can’t bear to watch the child die!” That’s why she sat a short distance away, crying aloud and weeping.
¹⁷ The LORD Rescues Hagar and IshmaelGod heard the boy’s voice, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven. He asked her, “What’s wrong with you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid, because God has heard the voice of the youth where he is. ¹⁸ Get up! Pick up the youth and grab his hand, because I will make a great nation of his descendants.” ¹⁹ Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went, filled the skin with water, and gave the boy a drink. ²⁰ God was with the boy as he grew up. He settled in the wilderness and became an expert archer. ²¹ Later he settled in the desert area of Paran, and his mother chose a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
²² A Covenant with AbimelechAbout that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, told Abraham, “God is with you in everything that you’re doing. ²³ Therefore swear an oath here by God that you won’t deal falsely with me, my sons, or my descendants. Just as I’ve dealt graciously with you, won’t you do so with me and with the land in which you live as a foreigner?”
²⁴ And Abraham replied, “I agree!” ²⁵ But then Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
²⁶ “I don’t know who did this thing,” Abimelech replied. “You didn’t report this to me, and I didn’t hear about it until today.”
²⁷ So Abraham took sheep and oxen and presented them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant. ²⁸ Then Abraham set aside seven ewe lambs, ²⁹ so Abimelech asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set aside?”
³⁰ He replied, “You are to accept from me these seven ewe lambs as a witness that I have dug this well.” ³¹ Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba, because the two of them swore an oath. ³² So after they had made a covenant in Beer-sheba, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, left and returned to Philistine territory.
³³ Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD God Everlasting. ³⁴ After this, Abraham resided as a foreigner in Philistine territory for a long period of time.

⁶ just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You have become her daughters by doing good and by not letting anything terrify you.

¹¹ By faith Sarah, even though she was old and barren, received the strength to conceive, because she was convinced that the one who had made the promise was faithful.
