16 Therfore by fayth is the inheritauce geven that it myght come of faveour: and the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the lawe: but also to them which are of the fayth of Abraham which is the father of vs all. 17 As it is wrytten: I have made the a father to many nacions even before god whom thou hast beleved which quyckeneth the deed and called those thinges which be not as though they were. 18 Which Abraham contrary to hope beleved in hope that he shuld be the father of many nacions accordynge to that which was spoken: 19 So shall thy seed be. And he faynted not in the fayth nor yet consydered hys awne body which was now deed even when he was almost an hondred yeare olde: nether yet that Sara was past chyldeberinge. 20 He stackered not at the promes of God thorow vnbelefe: but was made stronge in the fayth and gave honour to God 21 full certifyed that what he had promised that he was able to make good. 22 And therfore was it reckened to him for rightewesnes. 23 It is not written for him only that it was reckened to him for rightewesnes: 24 but also for vs to whom it shalbe counted for rightewesnes so we beleve on him that raysed vp Iesus oure Lorde from deeth. 25 Which was delivered for oure synnes and rose agayne forto iustifie vs. Romans 4:16-25, Tyndale Bible of 1526.
