Romans 4:14

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
World English Bible (WEB)
For{G1063} if{G1487} they which are of{G1537} the law{G3551} be heirs{G2818}, faith{G4102} is made void{G2758}{(G5769)}, and{G2532} the promise{G1860} made of none effect{G2673}{(G5769)}:
Strong's King James
(14) For if those from Torah-Law are heirs alone, then believing-faith is made void and the promise-vow is abolished.
The F.O.G*
[14] Because if this inheritance depends on perfectly following religious rules, then faith becomes meaningless and God's promise crumbles—since no one can fully meet that standard.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for if they who are of law are heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;
