Romans 4:13 in Context — Romans 4
11 Et il reçut le signe de la circoncision, comme sceau de la justice qu’il avait obtenue par la foi quand il était incirconcis, afin d’être le père de tous les incirconcis qui croient, pour que la justice leur fût aussi imputée,
12 et le père des circoncis, qui ne sont pas seulement circoncis, mais encore qui marchent sur les traces de la foi de notre père Abraham quand il était incirconcis.
13 En effet, ce n’est pas par la loi que l’héritage du monde a été promis à Abraham ou à sa postérité, c’est par la justice de la foi.
14 Car, si les héritiers le sont par la loi, la foi est vaine, et la promesse est anéantie,
15 parce que la loi produit la colère, et que là où il n’y a point de loi il n’y a point non plus de transgression.
