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.

  1. Romans 4:19 Greek deadness

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.
