|---|---|---|
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 Sara's womb:
|
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
|
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
