Romans 4:13-25

[13] For  the promise,  the  heir  of the world,  was not  to Abraham,  or  to his  seed,  through  the law,  but  through  the righteousness  of faith.  [14] For  if  they which are of  the law  be heirs,  faith  is made void,  and  the promise  made of none effect:  [15] Because  the law  worketh  wrath:  for  where  no  law  there is no  transgression.  [16] Therefore  it is of  faith,  that  it might be by  grace;  to the end  the promise  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  the father  all,  [17] (As  it is written,  I have made  a father  of many  nations,)  before  him whom  he believed,  even God,  who quickeneth  the dead,  and  calleth  not  as though  [18] Who  against  hope  believed  in  hope,  that  he  might become  the father  of many  nations,  according  to that which was spoken,  So  seed  [19] And  being not  weak  in faith,  he considered  his own  body  now  dead,  when he was  about  an hundred years old,  neither yet  the deadness  of Sara's  womb:  [20] He staggered  not  at  the promise  of God  through unbelief;  but  was strong  in faith,  giving  glory  to God;  [21] And  being fully persuaded  that,  what  he had promised,  able  also  to perform.  [22] And  therefore  it was imputed  to him  for  righteousness.  [23] Now  not  written  for his sake  alone,  that  it was imputed  to him;  [24] But  for  also,  to whom  it shall be  imputed,  if we believe  on  him that raised up  Jesus  Lord  from  the dead;  [25] Who  was delivered  for  offences,  and  was raised again  for  justification.
