"For the Promise to Abraham, and to his posterity, that he would inherit the world, was not through the law, but through the justice of faith. "
— Romans 4:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.”
“For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith. ”
“For the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn't through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.”
“For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not fulfilled through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.”
“For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world: but through the justice of faith.”
“For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.”
“For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.”
But then how was it reputed? In circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
For he received the sign of circumcision as a symbol of the justice of that faith which exists apart from circumcision, so that he might be the father of all those who believe while uncircumcised, so that it might also be reputed to them unto justice,
and he might be the father of circumcision, not only for those who are of circumcision, but even for those who follow the footsteps of that faith which is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
For the Promise to Abraham, and to his posterity, that he would inherit the world, was not through the law, but through the justice of faith.
For if those who are of the law are the heirs, then faith becomes empty and the Promise is abolished.
For the law works unto wrath. And where there is no law, there is no law-breaking.
Because of this, it is from faith according to grace that the Promise is ensured for all posterity, not only for those who are of the law, but also for those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all before God,
