← Romans 4:14	Romans 4:15 (KJV)	Romans 4:16 →
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.	Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
