And I send the promise of the Father upon you: and you tarry in the city, until you may be endued with power from on high.

and being assembled together with them, He commanded them, Not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father which ye heard from me;

Therefore on the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, has poured out this which you both see and hear.

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all who are afar off, so many as the Lord our God may call.

When the time of the promise which God made with Abraham drew nigh, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

From whose seed according to the promise he led forth Jesus, the Savior, to Israel:

And we preach unto you the promise, which was made to the fathers,

Therefore do not be persuaded by them: for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, who have obligated themselves by an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they may kill him: and now they are ready, awaiting the promise from you.

And now for the hope of the promise which is from God to our fathers, I stand being judged:

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

For if the heirs were by the law, faith has been made void, and the promise vitiated.

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

but he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was filled up with dynamite through faith, having given glory to God;

that is the children of the flesh the same are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

For this is the word of the promise, About this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.

in order that the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus may come to the Gentiles; in order that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

And I say this; The law which was given after four hundred and thirty years, does not disannul the covenant which had been before confirmed of God, so as to make the promise of none effect.

For if the inheritance were by law, it is no more by promise: but God gave it to Abraham through the promise.

Then what is the law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the seed to whom the promise was made should come; being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

but the scripture has shut up all things unto sin, in order that the promise through faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those who believe.

But if you belong to Christ then you are the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

in whom you also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom, also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world.

Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise,

For bodily exercise is profitable unto little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

Then let us fear, lest at some time, the promise to enter into his rest having been left, some of you may appear to have come short.

and thus having waited long, he received the promise.

but God, in this wishing more abundantly to show forth to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

And on this account he is mediator of the new covenant, since there being death, unto the redemption of the transgressions unto the first covenant, those having been called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

For you have need of patience, in order that, having done the will of God, you will inherit the promise.

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a strange country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise:

And all these, having received the witness of the spirit through faith, did not obtain the promise:

and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the day when the fathers fell asleep, all things remain as from the beginning of creation.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some people count slackness; but is long-suffering for your sakes, not wishing that any should perish, but all come to repentance.
