Romans 4:16-22

16ThereforeG1223 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG3588G1860 might beG1510 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG3588G4690; notG3756 to thatG3588 onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3588G3551, butG235 to thatG3588 alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG1510 the fatherG3962 of usG1473 allG3956, 17(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, I have madeG5087 theeG4771 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG3588G2227 the deadG3588G3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG3588G1510 notG3361 asG5613 though they wereG1510. 18

WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; according toG2596 that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG1510 thyG4771 seedG3588G4690 beG1510. 19AndG2532 beingG770 notG3361 weakG770 in faithG3588G4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he was aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3588G3500 ofG3588G3388 Sarah’sG4564 wombG3588G3388: 20He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG3588G1860 of GodG3588G2316 through unbeliefG3588G570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG3588G4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG3588G2316; 21AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG1510 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160. 22AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
