Romans 4:21

Romans 4:21

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.

Being fully assured (plhroforhqeiv). First aorist passive participle of plhroforew, from plhroforov and this from plhrhv and ferw, to bear or bring full (full measure), to settle fully. Late word, first in LXX but frequent in papyri in sense of finishing off or paying off. See on Luke 1:1; Romans 14:5.

What he had promised (o ephggeltai). Perfect middle indicative of epaggellomai, to promise, retained in indirect discourse according to usual Greek idiom.

He was able (dunatov estin). Present active indicative retained in indirect discourse. The verbal adjective dunatov with estin is here used in sense of the verb dunatai (Luke 14:31; Acts 11:17).
