Hebrews 11:17-19

Context
11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He had received the promises, 1  yet he was ready to offer up 2  his only son. 11:18 God had told him, “Through Isaac descendants will carry on your name,” 3  11:19 and he reasoned 4  that God could even raise him from the dead, and in a sense 5  he received him back from there.
