Romans 4:3-17
English Standard Version
3 For what does the Scripture say? (A)“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 4 Now (B)to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And to the one who does not work but (C)believes in[a] him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 (D)“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered;
8 blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not (E)count his sin.”
9 Is this blessing then only for (F)the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? (G)For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised. 11 (H)He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was (I)to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well, 12 and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
The Promise Realized Through Faith
13 For (J)the promise to Abraham and his offspring (K)that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. 14 (L)For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. 15 For (M)the law brings wrath, but (N)where there is no law (O)there is no transgression.
16 That is why it depends on faith, (P)in order that the promise may rest on grace and (Q)be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, (R)who is the father of us all, 17 as it is written, (S)“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, (T)who gives life to the dead and calls into existence (U)the things that do not exist.

Galatians 3:5-9
English Standard Version
5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and (A)works miracles among you do so (B)by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— 6 just as (C)Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?
7 Know then that it is (D)those of faith who are (E)the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that (F)God would justify[a] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, (G)“In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact (A)the Spirit of God dwells in you. (B)Anyone who does not have (C)the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of (D)him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus[a] from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies (E)through his Spirit who dwells in you.
Heirs with Christ
12 So then, brothers,[b] we are debtors, (F)not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you (G)put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are (H)led by the Spirit of God are (I)sons[c] of God. 15 For (J)you did not receive (K)the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of (L)adoption as sons, by whom we cry, (M)“Abba! Father!” 16 (N)The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
