‏ Romans 4:20

 He wavered not through unbelief ( ου διεκριθη τη απιστια ). First aorist passive indicative of old and common verb  διακρινω, to separate, to distinguish between, to decide between, to desert, to dispute, to be divided in one's own mind. This last sense occurs here as in Mt 21:22; Mr 11:23; Ro 14:23; Jas 1:6. "He was not divided in his mind by unbelief" (instrumental case).

 Waxed strong through faith ( ενεδυναμωθη τη πιστε ). First aorist passive again of  ενδυναμοω, late word to empower, to put power in, in LXX and Paul and Ac 9:22.
