Romans 4:13 in Context — Romans 4
11 E ele recebeu o sinal da circuncisão como selo da justiça da fé quando ainda era incircunciso, para que fosse pai de todos os que creem, ainda que não estejam circuncidados, para que a justiça também lhes seja imputada;
12 e para que fosse pai da circuncisão, dos que não somente são circuncidados, mas que também andam nos passos da fé do nosso pai Abraão, quando ainda não era circuncidado.
13 Pois não foi pela Lei que a promessa de ser herdeiro do mundo [foi feita] a Abraão ou à sua descendência, mas sim, pela justiça da fé;
14 porque, se é da Lei que são os herdeiros, logo a fé se torna vazia, e a promessa é anulada.
15 Pois a Lei produz ira, porque onde não há Lei, também não há transgressão.
