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

Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.

However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
