Vincent's NT Word Studies
19. Being not weak in faith he considered not (mh asqenhsav th pistei ou katenohsen). The best texts omit ouj not before considered. According to this the rendering is as Rev., he considered, etc. Being not weak or weakened: (Rev.) is an accompanying circumstance to he considered. He considered all these unfavorable circumstances without a weakening of faith. The preposition kata in katenohsen considered, is intensive - attentively. He fixed his eye upon the obstacles.Dead (nenekrwmenon). The participle is passive, slain. Used here hyperbolically. Hence, Rev., as good as dead.

4:19 {Without being weakened in faith} (m asthensas ti pistei). "Not becoming weak in faith." Ingressive first aorist active participle with negative me. {Now as good as dead} (ede nenekrwmenon). Perfect passive participle of nekrow, "now already dead." B omits ede. He was, he knew, too old to become father of a child. {About} (pou). The addition of pou (somewhere, about) "qualifies the exactness of the preceding numeral" (Vaughan). The first promise of a son to Abraham and Sarah came (#Ge 15:3f.) before the birth of Ishmael (86 when Ishmael was born). The second promise came when Abraham was 99 years old (#Ge 17:1), calling himself 100 (#Ge 17:17).
