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
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
19 And not having weakened in faith, he considered[a] his own body already having become impotent[b], being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of the womb of Sarah. 20 But he did not waver in unbelief with reference to the promise of God, but became-strong in faith— having given glory to God, 21 and having been fully-convinced that what He had promised He was able also to do.
His Faith Was Credited To Him As Righteousness, And So Is Ours
22 Therefore indeed it was credited to him for righteousness. 23 And it was not written for his sake only that it was credited to him, 24 but also for our sake to whom it is going-to be credited— the ones putting-faith upon the One having raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 Who was handed-over for[c] our trespasses and was raised for[d] our justification.
