16That is why it depends on faith, bin order that the promise may rest on grace and cbe guaranteed to all his offspringβ€”not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, dwho is the father of us all, 17as it is written, eβ€œI have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, fwho gives life to the dead and calls into existence gthe things that do not exist.
