18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations,¹ just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."^a² 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead³--since he was about a hundred years old⁴--and that Sarah's womb was also dead.⁵ 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened⁶ in his faith and gave glory to God,⁷ 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.⁸ 22 This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness."⁹ 23 The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us,¹⁰ to whom God will credit righteousness--for us who believe in him¹¹ who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.¹² 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins¹³ and was raised to life for our justification.¹⁴
