Romans 4:17-22
17(as it is writtenG1125, “1A fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484 have I madeG5087 you”) in the presenceG2713 of Him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, 2who givesG2227 lifeG2227 to the deadG3498 and 34callsG2564 into beingG1510 5that which does not existG1510.
18In hopeG1680 againstG1909 hopeG1680 he believedG4100, soG3779 that he might becomeG1096 6a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484 accordingG2596 to that which had been spokenG3004, “7SoG3779 shall your 8descendantsG4690 be.”
19WithoutG3361 becomingG770 weakG770 in faithG4102 he contemplatedG2657 his ownG1438 bodyG4983, now 9as good as deadG3499 since 10he was aboutG4225 a hundredG1541 yearsG1541 oldG1541, and 11the deadnessG3500 of Sarah’sG4564 wombG3388;
20yetG1161, with respectG1519 to the promiseG1860 of GodG2316, he did not waverG1252 in unbeliefG570 but grewG1743 strongG1743 in faithG4102, 12givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316,
21and 13being fullyG4135 assuredG4135 that 14whatG3739 God had promisedG1861, He was ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG2038.
22ThereforeG1352 15it was alsoG2532 creditedG3049 to him as righteousnessG1343.
