Romans 4:19-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was already[a] as good as dead (for he was about a hundred years old), and the barrenness of Sarah’s womb.(A) 20 No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.(B) 22 Therefore “it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” 23 Now the words, “it was reckoned to him,” were written not for his sake alone(C) 24 but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe[b] in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,(D) 25 who was handed over for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.(E)

Romans 4:19-25
New Living Translation
19 And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.
20 Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22 And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. 23 And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded 24 for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.
