18 In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, ^h“So shall your offspring be.” 19 He did not weaken in faith ⁱwhen he considered his own body, which was ^jas good as dead (since he was about ^ka hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness¹ of Sarah’s womb. 20 No ^lunbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.

1 Therefore, since we have been ^sjustified by faith, we¹ have ^tpeace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
