Romans 4:18

Context
4:18 Against hope Abraham 1  believed 2  in hope with the result that he became the father of many nations 3  according to the pronouncement, 4 so will your descendants be.” 5 

1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Grk “who against hope believed,” referring to Abraham. The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

3 sn A quotation from Gen 17:5.

4 tn Grk “according to that which had been spoken.”

5 sn A quotation from Gen 15:5.
