Romans 4:18-25 Contrary to hope, Abraham in hope believed, so as to become a father of many ethnic nations, according to what had been spoken: “So shall your seed be.”

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Contrary to hope, Abraham in hope believed, so as to become a father of many ethnic nations, according to what had been spoken: “So shall your seed be.” ¹⁹ And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (being about a hundred years old), or the deadness of Sarah’s womb. ²⁰ He did not waver at God’s promise in unbelief; rather, he was strengthened by the faith, giving glory to God, ²¹ being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform ²² —that is why it was credited to him as righteousness. ²³ Now it was not only for his sake that it was written that it was credited to him, ²⁴ but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, we who believe on Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, ²⁵ who was delivered up because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.
