Romans 4:16 in Context — Romans 4
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.
16 C’est pourquoi les héritiers le sont par la foi, pour que ce soit par grâce, afin que la promesse soit assurée à toute la postérité, non seulement à celle qui est sous la loi, mais aussi à celle qui a la foi d’Abraham, notre père à tous, selon qu’il est écrit:
17 Je t’ai établi père d’un grand nombre de nations. Il est notre père devant celui auquel il a cru, Dieu, qui donne la vie aux morts, et qui appelle les choses qui ne sont point comme si elles étaient.
18 Espérant contre toute espérance, il crut, en sorte qu’il devint père d’un grand nombre de nations, selon ce qui lui avait été dit: Telle sera ta postérité.
