And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they of Israel? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

Even as Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

And the holy Writings, seeing before the event that God would give the Gentiles righteousness by faith, gave the good news before to Abraham, saying, In you will all the nations have a blessing.

So then those who are of faith have a part in the blessing of Abraham who was full of faith.

So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.

Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

Because it is in the Writings, that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant-woman, and one by the free woman.

For, truly, he does not take on the life of angels, but that of the seed of Abraham.

For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;

Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.

And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.

But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

By faith Abraham did as God said when he was ordered to go out into a place which was to be given to him as a heritage, and went out without knowledge of where he was going.

By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body,

Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar?

And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God.

As Sarah was ruled by Abraham, naming him lord; whose children you are if you do well, and are not put in fear by any danger.
