Romans 4:13-15
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Promise Was Not Through The Law But Faith, Making It Firm To All
13 For the promise to Abraham or to his seed[a] that he should be the inheritor of the world was not through the Law[b], but through the righteousness of faith! 14 For if the ones of the Law are inheritors, faith has been made-empty[c] and the promise has been nullified[d]. 15 For the Law brings-about wrath. But where there is no Law, neither is there transgression[e].
