17 (As it is written, that I haue made thee a father of many nations) before God, whom he beleued, which restoreth the dead vnto life, and calleth those thynges whiche be not, as though they were. 18 Who contrary to hope, beleued in hope, that he shoulde be the father of many nations, accordyng to that which was spoken: so shall thy seede be. 19 And he faynted not in the fayth, nor considered his owne body nowe dead, when he was almost an hundred yeres old, neither yet the deadnesse o Saraes wombe. 20 He stackered not at the promise of God through vnbeliefe: but was strong in fayth, geuyng glorie to God: 21 And beyng full certified, that what he had promised, he was able also to perfourme. 22 And therfore was it reckened to hym for righteousnes. 23 Neuerthelesse, it is not written for hym only, that it was reckened to him: 24 But also for vs, to whom it shalbe reckened, so that we beleue on hym that raysed vp Iesus our Lorde from the dead. 25 Which was deliuered for our sinnes, and was raysed agayne for our iustification.
