Romans 4:19-25
New American Standard Bible
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.

Romans 4:19-25
International Standard Version
19 His faith did not weaken when he thought about his own body (which was already[a] as good as dead now that he was about a hundred years old) or about Sarah’s inability to have children, 20 nor did he doubt God’s promise out of a lack of faith. Instead, his faith became stronger and he gave glory to God, 21 being absolutely convinced that God would do what he had promised. 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”[b]
23 Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for him 24 but also for us. Our faith will be regarded in the same way,[c] if we believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was sentenced to death because of our sins and raised to life to justify us.
