KJV ORIGINAL
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Here's the thing — if getting God's inheritance was about following all the rules perfectly, then it wouldn't really be about his promise anymore. But God didn't give Abraham the inheritance because he earned it through law-keeping. He gave it because he promised he would.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's gifts aren't earned through rule-following — they're given because he keeps his promises.
