Romans 4:13 in context

  1. 11He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
  2. 12He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
  3. 13For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he should be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
  4. 14For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
  5. 15For the law produces wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
