Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the content clause Patera pollōn ethnōn tetheika se {Πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν τέθεικά σε | Pa-té-ra pol-lō̄n eth-nō̄n té-thei-ka se}, where the perfect active highlights a completed divine act naming Abraham as “father” in a predicate accusative.
In context — Romans 4:17
Just as it has been written, “I have made you a father of many nations,” before God whom he believed—who gives life to the dead and calls the things that are not as though they are.
