"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."
— Romans 4:13, NET Bible
“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 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.”
How then was it credited to him? Was he circumcised at the time, or not? No, he was not circumcised but uncircumcised!
And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would become the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too could have righteousness credited to them.
And he is also the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham possessed when he was still uncircumcised.
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 if they become heirs by the law, faith is empty and the promise is nullified.
For the law brings wrath, because where there is no law there is no transgression either.
For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants– not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
