[和合本] 所以人得为后嗣是本乎信，因此就属乎恩，叫应许定然归给一切后裔，不但归给那属乎律法的，也归给那效法亚伯拉罕之信的。
[新标点] 所以人得为后嗣是本乎信，因此就属乎恩，叫应许定然归给一切后裔；不但归给那属乎律法的，也归给那效法亚伯拉罕之信的。
[和合修] (16-17)所以，人作后嗣是出于信，因此就属乎恩，以致应许保证归给所有的后裔，不但归给那属于律法的，也归给那效法亚伯拉罕之信的人。亚伯拉罕所信的是那叫死人复活、使无变为有的 神，在这位 神面前亚伯拉罕成为我们众人的父，如经上所记：“我已经立你作多国之父。”
[新译本] 所以，成为后嗣是因着信，为的是要按着上帝的恩典，使给所有后裔的应许坚定不移，不但临到那属于律法的人，也临到那效法亚伯拉罕而信的人。亚伯拉罕在上帝面前作我们众人的父，
[当代修] 所以，上帝的应许是借着人的信心赐下的，好叫这一切都是出于上帝的恩典，确保应许归给所有亚伯拉罕的子孙，不单是守律法的人，也包括一切效法亚伯拉罕信心的人。
[现代修] 因此，应许是以信为根据的；这是要保证上帝的应许白白地赐给亚伯拉罕所有的子孙，不仅是遵守法律的，也包括那些像亚伯拉罕一样信上帝的人。因为亚伯拉罕是我们大家属灵之父。
[吕振中] 就是因为这个缘故、所以才本着信、要使应许确定，按照恩典、给予一切后裔，不但给予那本着律法的人，也给予那本着亚伯拉罕之信的人。
[思高本] 为此，一切都是由于信德，为的是一切都本着恩宠，使恩许为亚巴郎所有的一切后裔坚定不移，不仅为那属于法律的后裔，而且也为那有亚巴郎信德的后裔，因为他是我们众人的父亲，
[文理本] 故由乎信、而依乎恩、致坚所许于诸裔、不第于宗律者、亦于宗亚伯拉罕之信者、亚伯拉罕于所信之上帝前、为我众之父、
