(ROMANS 4:17-21 UKJV)
UKJV (v17): (As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who replenishes life to the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they were.
BBE: (As it is said in the holy Writings, I have made you a father of a number of nations) before him in whom he had faith, that is, God, who gives life to the dead, and to whom the things which are not are as if they were.
UKJV (v18): Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall your seed be.
BBE: Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be.
UKJV (v19): 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 Sarah’s womb:
BBE: And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead (he being about a hundred years old) and Sarah was no longer able to have children:
UKJV (v20): He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
BBE: Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,
UKJV (v21): And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
- *And being certain that God was able to keep his word.
IN JESUS CHRIST NAME.
