__Many years__ went by, but __Abram__ and __Sarai__ still did not have a __son__. __God__ spoke to Abram and __promised__ again that he would have a son and as many __descendants__ __as the stars in the sky__. Abram __believed__ God's promise. God declared that Abram was __righteous__ because he believed in God's promise. 

亚伯兰相信神。神说亚伯兰因相信神的应许而成为义的。但问题是，亚伯兰和他的妻子无法生育。所以亚伯兰似乎不太可能会成为万民之父，但是他们在信德中盼望，相信神的应许。
