Book of the generation of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.

Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Juda and his brethren;

All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David were fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen generations.

And do not think to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

But I say unto you, that many shall come from the rising and setting sun, and shall lie down at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens;

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of the dead, but of the living.

But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in the section of the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

(as he spoke to our fathers,) to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,

Produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for our father, for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

of Jacob, of Isaac, of Abraham, of Terah, of Nachor,

And this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves cast out.

And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.

And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.

But Abraham said, Child, recollect that thou hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and thou art in suffering.

But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.

But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.

And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in the section of the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob;

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;

but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.

The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste death.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?

Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.

The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?

Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.

Ye are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God appointed to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

and were carried over to Sychem and placed in the sepulchre which Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.

But as the time of promise drew near which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not consider it.

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

What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?

For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;

for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

Does this blessedness then rest on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of the circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.

For it was not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but by righteousness of faith.

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,

nor because they are seed of Abraham are all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.

I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they seed of Abraham? I also.

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

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

and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.

For if the inheritance be on the principle of law, it is no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.

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

For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one of the maid servant, and one of the free woman.

For he does not indeed take hold of angels by the hand, but he takes hold of the seed of Abraham.

For God, having promised to Abraham, since he had no greater to swear by, swore by himself,

For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;

to whom Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;

Now consider how great this personage was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils.

And they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:

but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.

By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed to go out into the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out, not knowing where he was going.

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten son,

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.

as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.
