Romans 4:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 [a]For the promise that he should be the [b]heir of the world, was not given to Abraham, or to his seed, through the [c]Law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 [d]For if they which are of the [e]Law, be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect.
15 [f]For the Law causeth wrath: for where no Law is, there is no transgression.

- Romans 4:13 A reason why the seed of Abraham is to be esteemed by faith, because that Abraham himself through faith was made partaker of that promise, whereby he was made the father of all nations.
- Romans 4:13 That all the nations of the world should be his children: or by the world may be understood the land of Canaan.
- Romans 4:13 For works that he had done, or upon this condition that he should fulfill the Law.
- Romans 4:14 A double confirmation of that reason: the one is, that the promise cannot be apprehended by the Law, and therefore it should be frustrated: the other, that the condition of faith should be joined in vain to that promise which should be apprehended by works.
- Romans 4:14 If they be heirs which have fulfilled the Law.
- Romans 4:15 A reason of the first confirmation, why the promise cannot be apprehended by the Law: because that the Law doth not reconcile God and us, but rather denounceth his anger against us, forsomuch as no man can observe it.
