Romans 4:19-22

The Promise Realized Through Faith

19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was r as good as dead ( s since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered t the barrenness of Sarah's womb. 20 No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that u God was able to do what he had promised. 22 That is why his faith was "counted to him as righteousness."
