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.
