Romans 4:16 in context

  1. 14For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:
  2. 15for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
  3. 16For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may 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
  4. 17(as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.
  5. 18Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be.
