17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. |
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. |
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: |

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. |
