Romans 4:16-25
16ThereforeG1223G5124 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might beG1511 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG4690; notG3756 to that onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 to that alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG2076 the fatherG3962 of usG2257 allG3956,
17AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who giveth life toG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which areG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607.1 18WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 withG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 should becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484, accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071. 19AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah’sG4564 wombG3388: 20He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316; 21AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160. 22AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
23NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846; 24ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raisedG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498; 25WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
