Romans 4:16-18

16 That is why it depends on faith, ^ain order that the promise may rest on grace and ^bbe guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, ^cwho is the father of us all, 17 as it is written, ^d“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, ^ewho gives life to the dead and calls into existence ^fthe things that do not exist. 18 In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, ^g“So shall your offspring be.”
