Romans 4:19-25
English Standard Version
19 He 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. 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 (D)God was able to do what he had promised. 22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” 23 But (E)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 (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.

Romans 4:19-25
Common English Bible
19 Without losing faith, Abraham, who was nearly 100 years old, took into account his own body, which was as good as dead, and Sarah’s womb, which was dead. 20 He didn’t hesitate with a lack of faith in God’s promise, but he grew strong in faith and gave glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God was able to do what he promised. 22 Therefore, it was credited to him as righteousness.
23 But the scripture that says it was credited to him[a] wasn’t written only for Abraham’s sake. 24 It was written also for our sake, because it is going to be credited to us too. It will be credited to those of us who have faith in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was handed over because of our mistakes, and he was raised to meet the requirements of righteousness for us.
