Romans 4:16-24

16For this cause it isG1510 of faithG4102, that it may beG1510 accordingG2596 to graceG5485; to the end that the promiseG1860 may beG1510 sureG949 to all the seedG4690; not to that onlyG3440 which isG1510 of the lawG3551, but to that alsoG2532 which isG1510 of the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11, who isG1510 the fatherG3962 of us all 17(as it isG1510 writtenG1125, A fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484 have I made thee) before him whom he believedG4100, evenG2532 GodG2316, who giveth lifeG2227 to the deadG3498, and calleth the thingsG4183 that areG1510 not, as though they wereG1510. 18Who in hopeG1680 believedG4100 against hopeG1680, to the end that he might becomeG1096 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484, accordingG2596 to that which had beenG1510 spoken, SoG3779 shall thy seedG4690 beG1510. 19And without being weakened in faithG4102 he considered his ownG1438 bodyG4983 now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s wombG3388; 20yet, looking unto the promiseG1860 of GodG2316, he wavered not through unbeliefG570, but waxed strong through faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316, 21and beingG1510 fullyG4135 assured that what he had promisedG1861, he wasG1510 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160. 22Wherefore alsoG2532 it was reckonedG3049 unto him for righteousnessG1343. 23NowG1161 it was not writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223 aloneG3441, that it was reckonedG3049 unto him; 24but for our sakeG1223 alsoG2532, unto whom it shall be reckonedG3049, who believeG4100 on him that raisedG1453 JesusG2424 our LordG2962 from the deadG3498,
