Romans 4:16-21 Therefore all depends on faith, that it may be of grace, and thus the promise be sure for all his descendants, not only those who are of the Law, but also those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Therefore all depends on faith, that it may be of grace, and thus the promise be sure for all his descendants, not only those who are of the Law, but also those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us ¹⁷ (as it is written, "I have made thee a father of many nations"), in the view of the God whom he believed, who makes alive the dead and calls things that are not as if they were. ¹⁸ Abraham, when hope was past, believed in hope so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said to him, "So shall your descendants be"; ¹⁹ and without being weakened in faith he recognized his own body as dead, when he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb. ²⁰ Still he did not hesitate through want of faith in the promise of God, but was strong in faith, thus giving glory to God, ²¹ and was fully confident that what God had promised he was able to perform.
