“For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.”
It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. The promise to Abraham is inherited not through law—which did not yet exist in Abraham's time—but through faith-derived righteousness. The promise is eschatological: Abraham and his spiritual descendants will inherit the world.
