Romans 4:17-19 (as it is written: A father of many nations have I made thee,) before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things that are not as though they were;

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ (as it is written: A father of many nations have I made thee,) before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things that are not as though they were; ¹⁸ who against hope believed in hope, that he should become 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 already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
