What then shall we say Abraham our father to have found, according to the flesh?

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has boasting; but not toward God.

For what says the writing? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice.

This happiness then upon circumcision, or upon uncircumcision? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for justice.

And father of circumcision to them not of circumcision only, but also to them, walking in order in the tracks of the uncircumcision, of the faith of our father Abraham.

For not by the law, the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, but by the justice of faith.

Therefore of faith, that according to grace; the promise to be firm to all the seed; not to that of the law only, but also to that of the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all,

Neither that the seed of Abraham, are all children: but, In Isaac shall the seed be called to thee.

I say then, Has God rejected his people It may not be. For I also am an Israelite, of Abraham's seed, of the tribe of Benjamin.
