The Promise Realized Through Faith

13 For ¹the promise to Abraham and his offspring ²that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

14 ³For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.

15 For ⁴the law brings wrath, but ⁵where there is no law ⁶there is no transgression.

16 That is why it depends on faith, ⁷in order that the promise may rest on grace and ⁸be guaranteed to all his offspring--not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, ⁹who is the father of us all,

17 as it is written, ¹⁰"I have made you the father of many nations"--in the presence of the God in whom he believed, ¹¹who gives life to the dead and calls into existence ¹²the things that do not exist.

18 In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, ¹³"So shall your offspring be."

19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was ¹⁴as good as dead (¹⁵since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered ¹⁶the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

20 No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,

21 fully convinced that ¹⁷God was able to do what he had promised.

22 That is why his faith was "counted to him as righteousness."

23 But ¹⁸the words "it was counted to him" were not written for his sake alone,

24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us ¹⁹who believe in ²⁰him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,

25 ²¹who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised ²²for our justification.
