Romans 4:15-17
American Standard Version
15 for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression. 16 For 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 17 (as it is written, [a]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.

Romans 4:15-17
New International Version
15 because the law brings wrath.(A) And where there is no law there is no transgression.(B)
16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace(C) and may be guaranteed(D) to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.(E) 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[a](F) He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life(G) to the dead and calls(H) into being things that were not.(I)
