13And the Lord said, Why was Sarah laughing and saying, Is it possible for me, being old, to give birth to a child?
14Is there any wonder which the Lord is not able to do? At the time I said, in the spring, I will come back to you, and Sarah will have a child.
15Then Sarah said, I was not laughing; for she was full of fear. And he said, No, but you were laughing.
16And the men went on from there in the direction of Sodom; and Abraham went with them on their way.
17And the Lord said, Am I to keep back from Abraham the knowledge of what I do;
18Seeing that Abraham will certainly become a great and strong nation, and his name will be used by all the nations of the earth as a blessing?
19For I have made him mine so that he may give orders to his children and those of his line after him, to keep the ways of the Lord, to do what is good and right: so that the Lord may do to Abraham as he has said.
