that he should be 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,
for where no law is,
there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith,
that it might be by grace;
to the end the promise might be 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 is the father of us all, Gal. 3.7
before Him whom he believed, even God,
who quickeneth the dead,
that he might become the father of many nations,
according to that which was spoken,
So shall thy seed be. Gen. 15.5
he considered not his own body now dead,
neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
but was strong in faith,
that what He had promised,
He was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone,
to whom it shall be imputed,
if we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offenses,
and was raised again for our justification.
GTHN!
