THE book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren,

So all the generations from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the carrying away into Babylon fourteen generations, and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ fourteen generations.

and think not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say unto you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

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

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

as he had spoken to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed.

the oath which he sware to Abraham our father,

Produce then fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say in yourselves, We have a father, even Abraham; for I say unto you, That God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

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

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?

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

Now it came to pass that the poor man died, and was carried up by angels into the bosom of Abraham. Then the rich man also died, and was buried:

and in hell, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham at a vast distance, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And crying out, he 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 tormented with this flame.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hearken to them.

But he said, Ah no, father Abraham! but if one came to them from the dead, they will repent.

Then said Jesus unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, because that he also is a son of Abraham.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses intimated at 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 never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, That we shall be made free?

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

They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the works of Abraham.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so.

Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

Your father Abraham exulted for joy that he should see this day of mine: and saw it, and rejoiced.

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou hast not yet reached the age of fifty, and hast thou seen Abraham?

Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham had a being, I Am.

The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And "in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed."

He replied, Men, brethren, and fathers, hear me: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

and they removed him to Sychem, and laid him in the sepulchre which Abraham had bought, at a price paid in silver, of the sons of Emmor, the father of Shechem.

But as the time of the promise which God had with an oath confirmed unto Abraham drew nigh, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

"I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Then Moses trembling, dared not to look farther.

Men and brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and all among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

WHAT then shall we say that Abraham our father hath obtained by the flesh?

For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath cause for glorying; though not before God.

For what doth the scripture say? Abraham truly believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.

This blessedness then, [is it] for the circumcision, or for the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.

and the father of circumcision, not to those who are of the circumcision merely, but who also tread in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he exercised while uncircumcised.

For not by the law [came] the promise to Abraham and his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but by the righteousness of faith.

Therefore it is by faith, that it might be of grace; in order that the promise might be secured to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

nor, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

I SAY then, Hath God rejected his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

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

as Abraham believed in God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Know then that they who are of faith, these are the children of Abraham.

And the scripture foreseeing that by faith God would justify the Gentiles, preached the gospel before unto Abraham, saying, that "In thee shall all the nations be blessed."

Wherefore they who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

that unto the Gentiles the benediction pronounced on Abraham might come by Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

But to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, To seeds, as unto many persons; but as to an individual, and to thy seed, which is Christ.

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

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

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free.

For he verily took not on him the angelic nature, but assumed that of the seed of Abraham.

For God when he gave the promise to Abraham forasmuch as he had nothing greater to swear by, sware by himself,

FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, a priest of God most high, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

to whom also Abraham gave a tenth share of all the spoil: being, as the interpretation of his name imports, first, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, that is, King of peace:

Now observe how great is this [Melchisedec], to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave the tenth of the spoils.

For they indeed of the sons of Levi, who are admitted to priesthood, have an order to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though also sprung from the loins of Abraham.

But he who derived not his genealogy from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises;

And, if I may so say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes.

By faith Abraham, called to go forth unto a place which he should in future obtain as an heritage, obeyed; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going.

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; and he who had received the promise, presented in sacrifice his only begotten son,

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

And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness;" and he was called "the friend of God."

as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye are, if ye do well, and are not affrighted with any terror.
