Romans 4:13-15

13For 1the promise to Abraham or to his 2descendants 3that he would be heir of the world was not 4through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14For 5if those who are 6of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified; 15for 7the Law brings about wrath, but 8where there is no law, there also is no violation.
