Romans 4:13-15

Darby Translation

¹³For [it was] not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of [the] world, but by righteousness of faith.

¹⁴For if they which [are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.

¹⁵For law works wrath; but where no law is neither [is there] transgression.
