¹⁸ For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise.

¹² that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

¹³ For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,

¹⁴ saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

¹⁵ And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

²⁹ And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.

¹⁶ Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

¹² and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them.

¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.

²¹ I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.

¹⁷ and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with `him', that we may be also glorified with `him'.

¹³ For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

¹⁴ For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:

¹⁵ for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

¹⁶ For this cause `it is' of faith, that `it may be' according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

⁷² To show mercy towards, our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;

⁷³ The oath which he spake unto Abraham our father,

⁵⁴ He hath given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy

⁵⁵ (As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever.

¹⁸ Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in lovingkindness.

¹⁹ He will again have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

²⁰ Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, `and' the lovingkindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

⁴² For he remembered his holy word, `And' Abraham his servant.

⁶ O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

⁷ He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.

⁸ He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹ `The covenant' which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,

¹⁰ And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

¹¹ Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;

¹² When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.

²⁶ For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.
