Romans 4:14

---

← Romans 4:13	Romans 4:14 (KJV)	Romans 4:15 →
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.	For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:	Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
