1 Kings 17:4
17:4 Drink from the stream; I have already told
the ravens to bring you food
there.”
Jude 1:2
1:2 May mercy, peace, and love be lavished on you!
Jude 1:4
1:4 For certain men
have secretly slipped in among you
– men who long ago
were marked out
for the condemnation I am about to describe
– ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil
and who deny our only Master
and Lord,
Jesus Christ.
Romans 4:17-21
4:17 (as it is written, “
I have made you the father of many nations”).
He is our father
in the presence of God whom he believed – the God who
makes the dead alive and summons the things that do not yet exist as though they already do.
4:18 Against hope Abraham
believed
in hope with the result that he became
the father of many nations according to the pronouncement,
“
so will your descendants be.”
4:19 Without being weak in faith, he considered
his own body as dead
(because he was about one hundred years old) and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
4:20 He
did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.
4:21 He was
fully convinced that what God
promised he was also able to do.
Romans 4:2
4:2 For if Abraham was declared righteous
by the works of the law, he has something to boast about – but not before God.
Colossians 4:7
