3 ♥ 📝 For^G1063 what^G5101 saith^G3004 the scripture?^G1161 And Abraham^G11 believed^G4100 God,^G2316 and^G2532 it was reckoned^G3049 unto him^G846 for^G1519 righteousness.^G1343

20 ♥ 📝 yet, looking unto^G1519 the promise^G1860 of God,^G2316 he wavered^G1252 not^G3756 through unbelief,^G570 but^G235 waxed strong^G1743 through faith,^G4102 giving^G1325 glory^G1391 to God,^G2316
