Context Readings

The Promise To Abraham Secured Through Faith

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, then is faith but vain, and the promise of none effect. 15 Because the law causeth wrath. For where no law is, there is no transgression. 16 Therefore by faith is the inheritance given, that it might come of favour: and that the promise might be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the law: but also to them which are of the faith of Abraham, which is the father of us all.
