Romans 4:16

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

16 Therefore [dia] [touto] it is of [ek] faith [pistis], that [hina] it might be by [kata] grace [charis]; to the end [eis] the promise [epaggelia] might be [einai] sure [bebaios] to all [pas] the seed [sperma]; not [ou] to that only [monon] which is of [ek] the law [nomos], but [alla] to that also [kai] which is of [ek] the faith [pistis] of Abraham [Abraam]; who [hos] is [esti] the father [pater] of us [hemon] all [pas], KJV-Interlinear

16 That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, ESV
