Romans 4:13-18

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,

17(according as it isG1510 writtenG1125, I have made thee fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) before the 1GodG2316 whom he believedG4100, who quickens the deadG3498, and callsG2564 the thingsG4183 which beG1510 not as beingG1510;

18who against hopeG1680 believedG4100 in hopeG1680 to his becomingG1096 fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484, accordingG2596 to that which wasG1510 spoken, SoG3779 shall thy seedG4690 beG1510:
