Romans 4:12-16
12and the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to thoseG3588 who not onlyG3440 are of the circumcisionG4061, but who alsoG2532 followG4748 in the stepsG2487 of the faithG4102 of our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 which 1he had while uncircumcisedG203.
13For 2the promiseG1860 to AbrahamG11 orG2228 to his 3descendantsG4690 4that he would be heirG2818 of the worldG2889 was not 5throughG1223 the LawG3551, but throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102. 14For 6ifG1487 thoseG3588 who are 7of the LawG3551 are heirsG2818, then faithG4102 is madeG2758 voidG2758 and the promiseG1860 is nullifiedG2673; 15for 8the LawG3551 bringsG2716 aboutG2716 wrathG3709, but 9whereG3757 there is noG3756 lawG3551, there also is noG3756 violationG3847.
16For thisG3778 reasonG1223 it is 10by faithG4102, inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 it may be inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 11graceG5485, soG1519 thatG1519 the promiseG1860 will be guaranteedG949 to 12allG3956 the 13descendantsG4690, not onlyG3440 to 14thoseG3588 who are of the LawG3551, but alsoG2532 to 1516thoseG3588 who are of the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11, whoG3739 is 17the fatherG3962 of us allG3956,
