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 offspring, 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.

ગુજરાતીરોમનોને પત્ર ૪:૧૬
તે વચન કૃપાથી થાય, અને વચન બધા વંશજોને માટે અચૂક થાય એટલે માત્ર જેઓ નિયમશાસ્ત્ર પાળે છે તેઓને જ માટે નહિ, પણ જેઓ ઇબ્રાહિમનાં વિશ્વાસના છે, તેઓને માટે પણ થાય;
हिन्दीरोमियों ४:१६
इसी कारण प्रतिज्ञा विश्वास पर आधारित है कि अनुग्रह की रीति पर हो, कि वह सब वंश के लिये दृढ़ हो, न कि केवल उसके लिये जो व्यवस्थावाला है, वरन् उनके लिये भी जो अब्राहम के समान विश्वासवाले हैं वही तो हम सब का पिता है

In context

14For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

15For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

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 offspring, 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.

17As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

18Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
