19 And not being weak in faith, (A)he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), (B)and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised (C)He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore (D)“it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

23 Now (E)it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe (F)in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 (G)who was delivered up because of our offenses, and (H)was raised because of our justification.

19 And not being weak in faith, he considered his own body as good as dead, [a] because he[b] was approximately a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God 21 and being fully convinced that what he had promised, he was also able to do. 22 Therefore[c] it was credited to him for righteousness. 23 But it was not written for the sake of him alone that it was credited to him, 24 but also for the sake of us to whom it is going to be credited, to those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was handed over on account of our trespasses, and was raised up in the interest of our justification.[d]
