Romans 4:13-15
New International Version
13 It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise(A) that he would be heir of the world,(B) but through the righteousness that comes by faith.(C) 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,(D) 15 because the law brings wrath.(E) And where there is no law there is no transgression.(F)

The Promise Granted through Faith
13 For the promise to Abraham(A) or to his descendants that he would inherit the world(B) was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.[a] 14 If those who are of the law are heirs,(C) faith is made empty and the promise is canceled. 15 For the law produces wrath.(D) And where there is no law,(E) there is no transgression.

15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
