Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,

so then, understand that those who believe are the sons of Abraham.

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, saying, "All the nations will be blessed in you."

So then those who believe are blessed along with Abraham the believer.

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. Scripture does not say, "and to the descendants," referring to many, but "and to your descendant," referring to one, who is Christ.

For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise, but God graciously gave it to Abraham through the promise.

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

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
