Romans 4:13-15

Anderson(i) 13 For the promise that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, nor to his posterity, through law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if they that are of the law be heirs, the faith is made powerless, and the promise is unmeaning; 15 for the law inflicts punishment; for where no law is, there is no transgression.
