The Promise Granted Through Faith

13 For the promise that he would be the aheir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.  
14 For aif those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,  
15 because athe law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.  
16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be aaccording to grace, bso that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, cwho is the father of us all  
17 (as it is written, a“I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, bwho gives life to the dead and calls those cthings which do not exist as though they did;

Romans 4:15

Because the law - Considered apart from that grace, which though it was in fact mingled with it, yet is no part of the legal dispensation, is so difficult, and we so weak and sinful, that, instead of bringing us a blessing, it only worketh wrath; it becomes to us an occasion of wrath, and exposes us to punishment as transgressors. Where there is no law in force, there can be no transgression of it.
