Romans 4:13-25 - The Promise To Abraham Secured Through Faith

13 For the promise that he should be heir of the world was not given to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law: but through the righteousness which cometh of 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. 17 As it is written, "I have made thee a father to many nations," even before God whom thou hast believed, which quickeneth the dead and called those things which be not, as though they were. 18 Which Abraham, contrary to hope, believed in hope: that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, "So shall thy seed be." 19 And he fainted not in the faith, nor yet considered his own body, which was now dead, even when he was almost a hundred years old: neither yet that Sara was past childbearing. 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief: But was made strong in the faith, and gave honour to God, 21 full certified that what he had promised, that he was able to make good. 22 And therefore was it reckoned to him for righteousness. 23 It is not written for him only, that it was reckoned to him for righteousness: 24 but also for us, to whom it shall be counted for righteousness so we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from death. 25 Which was delivered for our sins, and rose again for to justify us.
