'Promises' in the Bible

who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;

For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers;

For whatever promises of God there are, in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear.

But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.

Is then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience have been inheritors of the promises.

but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.

All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten son,

who by faith overcame kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped lions' mouths,

through which he has given to us the greatest and precious promises, that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
