Page 21 - So shall thy seed be,) and 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 Sarah's womb ; he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief ; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. And being fully persuaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Page 126 - Jews ; who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us. and they please not God, and are contrary to all men : forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles, that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway; for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
