Romans 4:14

The Promise To Abraham Secured Through Faith

¹³ For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. ¹⁴ If those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made empty and the promise is canceled. ¹⁵ For the law produces wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.
