I, behold my covenant with thee, thou being father of a multitude of nations. And thy name shall no more be called Abram, and thy name shall be Abraham, for the father of a multitude of nations have I given thee. And I made thee fruitful with might exceedingly, and I gave thee for nations, and kings shall come forth from thee. And I set up my covenant between me and between thee, and between thy seed after thee to their generations for a covenant of eternity; to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee. And I gave to thee and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings with all the land of Canaan for an eternal possession; and I was God to them. And God will say to Abraham, Thou shalt watch my covenant., thou, and thy seed after thee to their generations. This my covenant which ye shall watch between me and beween you, and between thy seed after thee; every male among you to be circumcised. And ye circumcised the flesh of your uncircumcision; and it was for a sign of the covenant between me and between you. And the son of eight days shall be circumcised, every male of your generations being born in the house, and he bought with silver, from every son of the stranger which is not of thy seed. He shall be circumcised with circumcising, he being born in thy house, and bought with thy silver: and my covenant was in your flesh for an eternal covenant And the uncircumcised male which shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his uncircumcision, and that soul shall be cut off from its people: he broke my covenant And God will say to Abraham, Sarai, thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, for Sarah her name.

And Abraham will fall upon his face and laugh, and will say in his heart, Shall there be born to the son of a hundred years? and shall Sarah the daughter of ninety years, bring forth? And Abraham will say to God, O for Ishmael to live before thee And God will say. Truly, Sarah thy wife, shall bring forth to thee a son, and shall call his name Isaak: and I set up my covenant with him for a lasting covenant, and to his seed after him. And for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I blessed him and made him fruitful, and I multiplied him with might exceedingly: twelve chiefs shall he beget, and I will give him into a great nation. And my covenant will I set up with Isaak whom Sarah shall bring forth to thee at this appointed time in another year. And he will finish speaking with him, and God will go up from Abraham.

Verse Concepts
And I say Jesus Christ has become the servant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers:
Verse Concepts
For God promising to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, sware by himself, Saying, Truly will I praise thee, and multiplying will I multiply thee.
As Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice. Know ye therefore that they of faith, these are sons of Abraham. And the writing, foreseeing that of faith God justifies the nations, announced beforehand the good news to Abraham, That in thee shall all nations be praised. read more.
So that they of faith are praised with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it has been written, Cursed every one who remains not in all written in the book of the law to do them. And that none is justified in the law before God, is manifest: for, The just shall live of faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man having done them shall live in them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having been a curse for us: for it has been written, Cursed every one hanging upon a tree: That the praise of Abraham might be to the nations in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak according to man; Although a man's covenant, having been confirmed, none annuls, or orders an addition. And to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as to many; but as to one: And to thy seed, who is Christ. And I say this, the covenant confirmed before by God in Christ, the law, having been after four hundred and thirty years, does not annul, to neglect the promise. For if of the law the inheritance, no more of promise: and God has favored Abraham by promise.

Verse Concepts
For it has been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondmaid, and one by the free. But he truly of the bondmaid was born according to the flesh; and he of the free through the promise. Which things are spoken figuratively: for these are the two covenants; one truly from mount Sinai, begetting to bondage, which is Agar. read more.
For Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and now stands in the same rank With Jerusalem, and is in a servile condition with her children. But Jerusalem above is free, which is mother of us all. For it has been written, Be cheered, O barren, bearing not; break out and cry, she travailing not: for many more the children of the desolate than she having a husband. And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise. But as then he born according to the flesh drove out him according to the Spirit, so also now. But what says the writing? Cast out the bondmaid and her son; for the son of the bondmaid shall not inherit with the son of the free. Therefore, brethren, we are not children of the bondmaid, but of the free.

Of whom great is the word to us, and difficult of interpretation to speak, since ye have been sluggish in the hearing. For also ye ought to be teachers for the time, again ye have need for some one to teach you the elements of the beginning of the sayings of God; and have become those having need of milk, and not of firm food. For every one partaking of milk is inexperienced in the word of justice: for he is a child. read more.

Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, we should go on to perfection; not again laying down the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the teaching of immersions, and placing upon of hands, and of the rising up of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

For impossible for them once enlightened, and having tasted of the heavenly gift, and having partaken of the Holy Spirit, And tasted of the good word of God, and powers of the life about to be, And having fallen, again to renew to repentance; crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and exposing to ignominy. For the earth drinking the rain coming often upon it, and bringing forth the vegetable fitting well to them by whom it is cultivated, receives commendation from God: And producing thorns and briers is rejected, after having been tried, and near cursing; whose end for destruction. And we have been persuaded of you, dearly beloved, of better things, and connected with salvation, if we also thus speak. For God is not unjust to forget your work and fatigue of love, which ye showed to his name, having served to the holy ones, and serving. And we desire each of you to show the same earnestness to the complete certainty of hope to the end: That ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them inheriting the promises by faith and longsnffering. For God promising to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, sware by himself, Saying, Truly will I praise thee, and multiplying will I multiply thee. And so, having endured long, he gained the promise. For truly men swear by the greater: and the oath for confirmation to them the end of all controversy.

We ought to return thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, for your faith increases exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all enlarges to one another; So that we ourselves boast in you in all the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your expulsions and pressures which ye endure: (A proof of the just judgment of God,) for you to be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
