Romans 4:17-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
17
(as it is written: 'I HAVE MADE YOU A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS') in the presence of Him whom he believed,
that is,
God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that do not exist.
18
In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, 'SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE.'
King James Version
Chapter 4
17
As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
17
As it is written:
I have made you the father of many nations.
He is our father in God’s sight, in whom Abraham believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls things into existence that do not exist.
18
He believed, hoping against hope, so that he became
the father of many nations
according to what had been spoken:
So will your descendants be.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
17
That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, 'I have made you the father of many nations.' This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.
18
Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping — believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, 'That’s how many descendants you will have!'
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
17
as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations" — in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the 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, "So shall your offspring be."
New International Version
Chapter 4
17
As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.
18
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
New King James Version
Chapter 4
17
(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;
18
who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”
