Romans 4:16-18
16For this reason it is 1by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with 2grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to 3all the 4descendants, not only to 5those who are of the Law, but also to 67those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is 8the father of us all,
17(as it is written, “9A father of many nations have I made you”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, 10who gives life to the dead and 1112calls into being 13that which does not exist.
18In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become 14a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, “15So shall your 16descendants be.”
