19 Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now (A)as good as dead since (B)he was about a hundred years old, and (C)the deadness of Sarah’s womb; 20 yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, (D)giving glory to God, 21 and (E)being fully assured that (F)what God had promised, He was able also to perform. 22 Therefore (G)it was also credited to him as righteousness. 23 Now (H)not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, 24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, to us (I)who believe in Him who (J)raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 He who was (K)delivered over because of our wrongdoings, and was (L)raised because of our justification.

19 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body [a]now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s [b]womb; 20 yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; 24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead(A)—since he was about a hundred years old(B)—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.(C) 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened(D) in his faith and gave glory to God,(E) 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.(F) 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”(G) 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us,(H) to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him(I) who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.(J) 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins(K) and was raised to life for our justification.(L)
