For, not through means of law, doth the promise belong unto Abraham or unto his seed, - that he should be heir of thee world; but, through a righteousness by faith.

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

For this cause, it is by faith, in order that it may be by way of favour, so that the promise is firm unto all the seed, - not unto that by the law only, but unto that also which is such by the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all, -

In respect, however, of the promise of God, he was not led to hesitate by unbelief, but received power by his faith, giving glory unto God,

That is - not the children of the flesh, the same are children of God; but, the children of the promise, are reckoned as a seed.

For, of promise, is this word - According to this season, will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
