Romans 4:16 WBT

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

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

¹⁶  Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all;

¹⁷  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who reviveth the dead, and calleth those things which are not, as though they were.

¹⁸  Who against hope believed with hope, that he should become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
