Romans 4:17-19 (as it is written, "I have made thee a father of many nations"), in the view of the God whom he believed, who makes alive the dead and calls things that are not as if they were.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ (as it is written, "I have made thee a father of many nations"), in the view of the God whom he believed, who makes alive the dead and calls things that are not as if they were. ¹⁸ Abraham, when hope was past, believed in hope so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said to him, "So shall your descendants be"; ¹⁹ and without being weakened in faith he recognized his own body as dead, when he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
