18 Against hope, with hope he believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what had been spoken: So will your descendants be.
18
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
19 He considered his own body to be already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb, without weakening in the faith.
19
Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.
20 He did not waver in unbelief at God's promise, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
20
Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
21 because he was fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
21
being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
22 Therefore, it was credited to him for righteousness.
22
This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”
