Romans 4:11-16

11And he receivedG2983 [the] signG4592 of circumcisionG4061 [as] sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102 which [he had] beingG1510 in uncircumcisionG203, that he might beG1510 [the] fatherG3962 of all them that believeG4100 beingG1510 in uncircumcisionG203, that righteousnessG1343 might beG1510 reckonedG3049 to them alsoG2532;

12and fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061, not onlyG3440 to those who are of [the] circumcisionG4061, but to those alsoG2532 who walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of the faithG4102, during uncircumcisionG203, of our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11.

13For [it wasG1510] not by lawG3551 that the promiseG1860 wasG1510 to AbrahamG11, or to his seedG4690, that he should beG1510 heirG2818 of [the] worldG2889, but by righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.

14For if they which [are] of lawG3551 be heirsG2818, faithG4102 is made vain, and the promiseG1860 made of no effect.

15For lawG3551 works wrathG3709; but whereG3757 no lawG3551 isG1510 neither [isG1510 there] transgressionG3847.

16Therefore [it isG1510] on the principleG3551 of faithG4102, that [it might beG1510] accordingG2596 to graceG5485, in orderG2443 to the promiseG1860 beingG1510 sureG949 to all the seedG4690, not to that onlyG3440 which [isG1510] of the lawG3551, but to that alsoG2532 which [isG1510] of Abraham's faithG4102, who isG1510 fatherG3962 of us all,
