Romans 4:17

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.

World English Bible (WEB)

As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

Strong's King James

(As{G2531} it is written{G1125}{(G5769)},{G3754} I have made{G5087}{(G5758)} thee{G4571} a father{G3962} of many{G4183} nations{G1484},) before{G2713} him whom{G3739} he believed{G4100}{(G5656)}, even God{G2316}, who quickeneth{G2227}{(G5723)} the dead{G3498}, and{G2532} calleth{G2564}{(G5723)} those things which be{G5607}{(G5752)} not{G3361} as though{G5613} they were{G5607}{(G5752)}.

The F.O.G *

As it's written, "A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS I HAVE MADE YOU." Before Him whom he believed, Elohim gives life (zoe) to the dead, and calls the things which don't exist as existing.

The F.O.G Message *

[17] As Scripture declares: "I have appointed you to father many nations." Abraham believed in the God who brings death to life and speaks of things that don't exist as though they already do, with perfect confidence in His power to fulfill His word.

Young's Literal Translation

who is father of us all (according as it hath been written—‘A father of many nations I have set thee,’) before Him whom he did believe—God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.

After a dramatic early morning encounter with King Jesus, I just couldn’t put my Bible down. The F.O.G took a hold of me and this website was born. Learn more about the F.O.G.
