Romans 4:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 4:20

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.
