12) Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

14) Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son."

21) and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

24) but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,
25) who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
