Romans 4:19-25

New Living Translation

¹⁹And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.

²⁰Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. ²¹He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. ²²And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. ²³And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded ²⁴for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. ²⁵He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.

Romans 4:19-25

English Standard Version

¹⁹He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was ^(A)as good as dead (^(B)since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered ^(C)the barrenness^[a] of Sarah's womb. ²⁰No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, ²¹fully convinced that ^(D)God was able to do what he had promised. ²²That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” ²³But ^(E)the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, ²⁴but for ours also. It will be counted to us ^(F)who believe in ^(G)him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, ²⁵^(H)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised ^(I)for our justification.

¹⁹Without 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) ²⁰Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened^(D) in his faith and gave glory to God,^(E) ²¹being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.^(F) ²²This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”^(G) ²³The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, ²⁴but 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) ²⁵He was delivered over to death for our sins^(K) and was raised to life for our justification.^(L)
