Romans 4:14-16
New English Translation
14 For if they become heirs by the law, faith is empty and the promise is nullified.[a] 15 For the law brings wrath, because where there is no law there is no transgression[b] either. 16 For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace,[c] with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants—not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham,[d] who is the father of us all

Romans 4:14-16
New International Version
14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,(A) 15 because the law brings wrath.(B) And where there is no law there is no transgression.(C)
16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace(D) and may be guaranteed(E) to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.(F)
