Romans 4:17-25
English Standard Version
17 as it is written, (A)“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, (B)who gives life to the dead and calls into existence (C)the things that do not exist. 18 In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, (D)“So shall your offspring be.” 19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was (E)as good as dead ((F)since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered (G)the barrenness[a] of Sarah's womb. 20 No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that (H)God was able to do what he had promised. 22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” 23 But (I)the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, 24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us (J)who believe in (K)him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25 (L)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised (M)for our justification.

2 But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue[a] childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring, and (A)a member of my household will be my heir.” 4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; (B)your very own son[b] shall be your heir.” 5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and (C)number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, (D)“So shall your offspring be.” 6 And (E)he believed the Lord, and (F)he counted it to him as righteousness.

2 And the Lord answered me:
(A)“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still (B)the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, (C)wait for it;
(D)it will surely come; it will not delay.

(H)Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
