| Romans 4:18 | Who, against hope, believed in hope, that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: *So shall thy seed be. Genesis 15:5. | Who, against hope, believed in hope, or with hope. That is, Abraham, against all probability of human hopes, still hoped in God, says St. Chrysostom, that he should have a son by Sara: and in this, he was not weak in faith. Therefore it, that is, is great faith, was imputed to him unto justice: and also our faith shall be imputed to us unto justice, or make us truly just, by believing in Christ, etc. (Witham) |
