⁸ And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, `saying,' In thee shall all the nations be blessed.

³ and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

² For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become `the kingdom' of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever.

¹⁰ The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come: And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be.

¹⁸ And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. Because thou hast obeyed my voice.

²⁸ We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

²⁹ Or is God `the God' of Jews only? is he not `the God' of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also:

³⁰ if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

¹⁷ For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.

³⁰ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

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.

²² But the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

¹⁵ And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ Every scripture inspired of God `is' also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.

¹⁷ That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.

¹⁵ And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

¹⁶ After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:

¹⁷ That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,

¹⁸ Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old.

³⁵ Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

¹⁸ seeing that Abraham had surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

⁴ And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

⁷ In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

¹³ And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof.

⁹ And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

³⁸ He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.

²⁵ For David saith concerning him, I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:

³⁰ Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman.

³⁷ And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

⁴² Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?
