Legacy Standard Bible
13 For (A)the promise to Abraham or to his seed (B)that he would be heir of the world was not [a]through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For (C)if those who are [b]of the Law are heirs, faith has been made empty and the promise has been abolished; 15 for (D)the Law brings about wrath, but (E)where there is no law, there also is no trespass.

Romans 4:13-15
Common English Bible
Abraham’s promise is received through faith
13 The promise to Abraham and to his descendants, that he would inherit the world, didn’t come through the Law but through the righteousness that comes from faith. 14 If they inherit because of the Law, then faith has no effect and the promise has been canceled. 15 The Law brings about wrath. But when there isn’t any law, there isn’t any violation of the law.
