King James VersionAnd being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
F.O.G.Secondary
The F.O.GWithout weakening in trust, he fully considered his own body as already dead — being about a hundred years old — and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
F.O.G.M.
F.O.G MessageHis faith did not weaken even as he fully faced the reality that his own body was as good as dead — he was about a hundred years old — and that Sarah's womb was equally lifeless.
BSB
Berean Standard BibleWithout weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.
Footnotes
νενεκρωμένον (his body, "having-been-deadened") and νέκρωσιν (Sarah's womb, "death-condition") both derive from νεκρός (corpse). Sha'ul deliberately saturates the verse with death-language in preparation for the resurrection vocabulary of verses 24–25: the God who reckons righteousness over spiritually dead sinners is the same God who raises physically dead bodies. Abraham's faith is therefore structurally resurrection-faith — trusting God to act precisely where death has had the last word. A minority of manuscripts add a negative before κατενόησεν, implying Abraham did not dwell on the physical impossibility; the UBS text omits it, meaning he faced the reality squarely and trusted nonetheless.
