Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Romans 4:19

Being not weak in faith he considered not [μ η α σ θ ε ν η σ α ς τ η π ι σ τ ε ι ο υ κ α τ ε ν ο η σ ε ν]. 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 [ν ε ν ε κ ρ ω μ ε ν ο ν]. The participle is passive, slain. Used here hyperbolically. Hence, Rev., as good as dead.
