Romans 4:13-25
Abraham Receives the Promise

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

13:

14 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

14:

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

15:

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,

16:

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

17:

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

18:

19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:

19:

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

20:

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

21:

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

22:

23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

23:

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

24:

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

25:
