even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

Know, therefore, that those who are of faith are the sons of Abraham.

For the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached beforehand the gospel to Abraham, saying: In you shall all the nations be blessed.

So, then, those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

in order that the blessing of Abraham may come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring; he does not say: And to offsprings, as if he spoke of many; but as of one, And to your offspring, which is Christ.

For if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise: but God bestowed it on Abraham by promise.

And if you are Christ s, then you are Abraham's posterity, and heirs according to the promise.

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons; one by a bondmaid, and one by a free woman.
