They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you.

They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham;

Brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those who among you fear God, to you has the word of this salvation been sent:

Therefore it is on the principle of faith, that it might be according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,

Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;

but if ye are of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.
