Romans 4:16-17

16For this reason it is 1by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with 2grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to 3all the 4descendants, not only to 5those who are of the Law, but also to 67those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is 8the father of us all,

17(as it is written: “I have made you 9a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, that is, God, 10who gives life to the dead and 11calls into being 12things that do not exist.
