Romans 4:16-22

16For thisG3778 reasonG1223 it is 1by faithG4102, in orderG2443 that it may be in accordanceG2596 with 2graceG5485, soG1519 that the promiseG1860 will be guaranteedG949 to 3allG3956 the 4descendantsG4690, not onlyG3440 to 5thoseG3588 who are of the LawG3551, but alsoG2532 to 67thoseG3588 who are of the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11, whoG3739 is 8the fatherG3962 of us allG3956,

17(as it is writtenG1125, “9A fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484 have I madeG5087 you”) in the presenceG2713 of Him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, 10who givesG2227 lifeG2227 to the deadG3498 and 1112callsG2564 into beingG1510 13that which does not existG1510.

18In hopeG1680 againstG1909 hopeG1680 he believedG4100, soG3779 that he might becomeG1096 14a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484 accordingG2596 to that which had been spokenG3004, “15SoG3779 shall your 16descendantsG4690 be.”

19WithoutG3361 becomingG770 weakG770 in faithG4102 he contemplatedG2657 his ownG1438 bodyG4983, now 17as good as deadG3499 since 18he was aboutG4225 a hundredG1541 yearsG1541 oldG1541, and 19the deadnessG3500 of Sarah’sG4564 wombG3388;

20yetG1161, with respectG1519 to the promiseG1860 of GodG2316, he did not waverG1252 in unbeliefG570 but grewG1743 strongG1743 in faithG4102, 20givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316,

21and 21being fullyG4135 assuredG4135 that 22whatG3739 God had promisedG1861, He was ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG2038.

22ThereforeG1352 23it was alsoG2532 creditedG3049 to him as righteousnessG1343.
