El creyó en esperanza contra esperanza,
Ὃς παρʼ ἐλπίδα ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι ἐπίστευσεν

κατὰ τὸ εἰρημένον• οὕτως ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου ,
as he had been told, q “So shall your offspring be.”
Y sin debilitarse en la fe contempló su propio cuerpo,
καὶ μὴ ἀσθενήσας τῇ πίστει κατενόησεν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ σῶμα
He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body,
que ya estaba como muerto a

καὶ πληροφορηθεὶς ὅτι ὃ ἐπήγγελται δυνατός ἐστιν καὶ ποιῆσαι.
