But

And God said unto Abraham, "Sarai, thy wife, shall no more be called Sarai: but Sara shall her name be.

And he said, "I will come again unto thee as soon as the fruit can live. And lo, Sara thy wife shall have a son." That heard Sara, out of the tent door which was behind his back.

The LORD visited Sara as he had said, and did unto her according as he had spoken.

But what saith the scripture? "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thine heart." This word is the word of faith which we preach.
