    14for if they who are of law `are' heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

    15for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither `is' transgression.

    16Because of this `it is' of faith, that `it may be' according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which `is' of the law only, but also to that which `is' of the faith of Abraham,

    17who is father of us all (according as it hath been written -- `A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe -- God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.

    18Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;'

    19and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

    20and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

    16and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, `And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

    17and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,

    18for if by law `be' the inheritance, `it is' no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant `it'.

    9`Is' this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness?

    10how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;

    11and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,
