Romans 4:13-15

Complete Jewish Bible

¹³ For the promise to Avraham and his seed^[a] that he would inherit the world did not come through legalism but through the righteousness that trust produces. ¹⁴ For if the heirs are produced by legalism, then trust is pointless and the promise worthless. ¹⁵ For what law brings is punishment. But where there is no law, there is also no violation.
