Romans 4:11-18

ACV(i) 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of his faith during uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those who believe during uncircumcision (for righteousness to also be imputed to them), 12 and father of those of circumcision, to those not only of circumcision, but also to those who march in the steps of faith-of that during the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. 13 For the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, was not through law, but through a righteousness of faith. 14 For if those from law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been made useless. 15 For the law works wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression. 16 Because of this it is from faith, so that it is according to grace, in order for the promise to be sure to all the seed, not only to the seed from the law, but also to the seed from the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing. 18 Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be.
