Romans 4:13-15

Expanded Bible

God Keeps His Promise

¹³ [^LFor] The promise Abraham and his ·descendants [seed] received that they would inherit the ·whole world [^Lworld] ·did not come through [was not based on his obedience to] the law, but through ·being right with God by his faith [the righteousness that comes by faith]. ¹⁴ [^LFor] If people ·could receive what God promised [^Lare heirs] by following the law, then faith is worthless. And ·God’s promise to Abraham [^Lthe promise] is ·worthless [nullified; canceled], ¹⁵ because the law can only bring God’s ·anger [wrath]. But if there is no law, there is ·nothing to disobey [no transgression/violation; ^Cthe law points out sin (5:13), but it cannot save from sin].
