Romans 4:17-25 (as it is written "that I have constituted thee father of many nations,") before God, in whom he trusted, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth things that are not as if existing.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ (as it is written "that I have constituted thee father of many nations,") before God, in whom he trusted, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth things that are not as if existing. ¹⁸ Who contrary to hope, in hope believed, that he should be the father of many nations, according to what was said, "So shall thy seed be." ¹⁹ And not being weak in faith, he regarded not his own body now deadened, being about an hundred years old, nor the deadness of Sarah's womb: ²⁰ for he disputed not against the promise of God with unbelief; but was mighty in faith, giving glory to God; ²¹ and enjoyed the fullest assurance, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. ²² And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. ²³ Now it was not written for his sake only, that it was imputed to him; ²⁴ but also for our sakes, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe in him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; ²⁵ who was delivered up for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
