Verse Concepts
For God haying promised Abraham, when he could not swear by a greater, swore by himself, saying, Surely, blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you;
As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness. Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of Abraham. And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed. read more.
Those of faith, therefore, are blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them. And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith, but the law is not of faith, but he that does these things shall live by them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree, that the blessing of Abraham may come on the nations, in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith. Brothers, I speak according to man. But no one abolishes a man's covenant when it is established, or makes additions to it. The promises were spoken to Abraham and his offspring. He said not, And to offsprings, as of many, but as of one, And to your offspring, which is Christ. And this I say; that the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot abrogate the covenant previously established by God, to make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no longer by the promise. But God gave it to Abraham by the promise.

Verse Concepts
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by a servant woman, and the other by a free woman. But he by the servant woman was born of the flesh, and he by the free woman, by the promise. These things are allegorical, for those [women] are two covenants, one from Mount Sinai, bearing children for servitude, which is Hagar; read more.
for Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; and the present Jerusalem answers to her, for she is in servitude with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us; for it is written, Rejoice, barren woman, that did not bear, break forth and cry, woman that had no pain, for the children of the desolate are more numerous than those of her who had a husband. But we, brothers, like Isaac, are children of the promise. But as then he that was born of the flesh persecuted him that was born of the Spirit, so also now. But what says the Scripture? Cast out the servant-woman and her son; for the son of the servant woman shall not be an heir, with the son of the free. Wherefore, brothers, we are not children of the servant woman, but of the free.

Abraham » Faith of
What shall we say then that Abraham our father found according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works he has [occasion for] boasting, but not before God. For what says the Scripture? And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness. read more.
But to one that works the reward is not accounted by grace but by debt. But to one that works not, but believes on him that justifies the wicked, his faith is [accounted] for righteousness. As David describes the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord accounts righteousness without works, Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not account sin. Is this blessedness then on the circumcision? or also on the uncircumcision? [Also on the uncircumcision.] For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. How then was it accounted? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he received the symbol of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which was in uncircumcision, so that he became the father of all that believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may also be accounted to them, and a father of circumcision not to those of the circumcision only, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which was in uncircumcision. For the promise to Abraham and his posterity that he should inherit the world was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith. For if the subjects of the law are heirs, the faith is done away and the promise abrogated. For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression. Therefore it is by faith that it may be by grace, that the promise may be sure to all the posterity, not to that of the law only but to that of the faith of Abraham, who is a father of us all, as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations before God in whom he believed, who makes the dead alive and calls things which do not exist as existing.??18 who against hope believed in hope that he should become a father of many nations according to the saying shall your posterity be. And being not weak in faith, he did not regard himself as dead, being now about a hundred years old, nor Sarah's incapacity for child-bearing, and he did not doubt the promise of God by unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God, being fully persuaded that what he had promised he was able to perform. Wherefore also it was accounted to him for righteousness.
But to one that works the reward is not accounted by grace but by debt. But to one that works not, but believes on him that justifies the wicked, his faith is [accounted] for righteousness.

As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness. Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of Abraham. And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed. read more.
Those of faith, therefore, are blessed with believing Abraham.
Those of faith, therefore, are blessed with believing Abraham.
By faith Abraham being called obeyed and went out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out not knowing where he was going. By faith he resided temporarily in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise; for he looked for the city which has foundations [fixed abodes] whose designer and builder is God.
By faith Abraham when tried offered Isaac, and he that received the promises offered his only son, of whom it was said, In Isaac shall your posterity be called, judging that God was able to raise even from the dead; whence also in a figure he received him.
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith cooperated with his works, and by works was faith made perfect, and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness, and he was called God's friend. read more.
You see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith only.
You see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith only.
Bigotry » Paul's argument against
What then is the preeminence of the Jew? or what the profit of circumcision? Much in every way. For first, indeed, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God. For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief destroy the faith of God? read more.
By no means; but let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings and overcome when thou art judged. But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak as a man;??6 by no means;??ince [if he was] how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God abounded by my falsehood to his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner? And as we are falsely accused and as some declare that we say, [do we say] Let us do evil that good may come? Whose judgment is just. What defense then have we? None at all; for we before asserted that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin, as it is written, There is none righteous not one, there is none that understands, there is none that seeks God; all have turned aside, they have together become unprofitable; there is no one that does good, there is not even one; their throat is an opened tomb, with their tongues they practise deceit, the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood, destruction and misery are in their ways, and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes. But we know that whatever the law says, it says to those having the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world become guilty before God. Wherefore by the works of the law there shall no flesh be justified is his sight, for by the law there is an acknowledgment of sin. BUT now God's righteousness has been made manifest without the law, being testified to by the law and the prophets, but God's righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, in all and upon all that believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

But it was not written for his sake alone, that it was accounted to him, but also for our sakes, to whom it is about to be accounted if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up for our sins and raised for our justification.
