Romans 4:13 GW So it was not by obeying Moses' Teachings that Abraham or his descendants received the promise that he would inherit the world. Rather, it was through God's approval of his faith.
Romans 4:16 GW Therefore, the promise is based on faith so that it can be a gift. Consequently, the promise is guaranteed for every descendant, not only for those who are descendants by obeying Moses' Teachings but also for those who are descendants by believing as Abraham did. He is the father of all of us,
Romans 4:24 GW but also for us. Our faith will be regarded as God's approval of us who believe in the one who brought Jesus, our Lord, back to life.
Romans 4:13 GNB When God promised Abraham and his descendants that the world would belong to him, he did so, not because Abraham obeyed the Law, but because he believed and was accepted as righteous by God.
Romans 4:16 GNB And so the promise was based on faith, in order that the promise should be guaranteed as God's free gift to all of Abraham's descendants---not just to those who obey the Law, but also to those who believe as Abraham did. For Abraham is the spiritual father of us all;
Romans 4:24 GNB They were written also for us who are to be accepted as righteous, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from death.
Romans 4:13 BBE For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:16 BBE For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
Romans 4:24 BBE But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,
Romans 4:13 ESV For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:16 ESV 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,
Romans 4:24 ESV but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,
Romans 4:13 CEV God promised Abraham and his descendants that he would give them the world. This promise wasn't made because Abraham had obeyed a law, but because his faith in God made him acceptable.
Romans 4:16 CEV Everything depends on having faith in God, so that God's promise is assured by his great kindness. This promise isn't only for Abraham's descendants who have the Law. It is for all who are Abraham's descendants because they have faith, just as he did. Abraham is the ancestor of us all.
Romans 4:24 CEV They were written for us, since we will also be accepted because of our faith in God, who raised our Lord Jesus to life.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
