That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
