Romans 4:20
Compare all
18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, a“So shall your descendants be.”  
19 And not being weak in faith, ahe did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), band the deadness of Sarah’s womb.  
20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised aHe was also able to perform.  
22 And therefore a“it was accounted to him for righteousness.”  
23 Now ait was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,  
24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe ain Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,  
25 awho was delivered up because of our offenses, and bwas raised because of our justification.

Barnes' Notes
<< Romans 4:19   Romans 4:21 >>


Romans 4:20

He staggered not - He was not moved, or agitated; he steadily and firmly believed the promise.

Giving glory to God - Giving honor to God by the firmness with which he believed his promises. His conduct was Such as to honor God; that is, to show Abraham' s conviction that he was worthy of implicit confidence and trust. In this way all who believe in the promises of God do honor to him. They bear testimony to him that he is worthy of confidence. They become so many witnesses in his favor; and furnish to their fellow-men evidence that God has a claim on the credence and trust of mankind.
