Coverdale(i) 13 For the promes (that he shulde be ye heyre of the worlde) was not made vnto Abraham or to his sede thorow the lawe, but thorow the righteousnes of faith. 14 For yf they which are of the lawe be heyres, the is faith vayne, and the promes of none effecte, 15 for so moch as the lawe causeth but wrath. For where the lawe is not, there is also no transgression. 16 Therfore was the promes made thorow fayth, that it myght come off fauoure, wherby the promesse myghte be made sure vnto all the sede: not onely vnto him which is off the lawe, but also vnto him that is of the faith of Abraha which is the father of vs all.
