¹³ For the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn't through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

²⁹ If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.

⁴ "As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

⁵ Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made you.

⁶ I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

¹⁶ Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ.

¹⁷ Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

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

⁸ That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.

¹¹ Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.

⁸ Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

¹⁴ Your seed will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.

¹⁷ that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.

¹⁸ In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."

¹⁶ I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."

³ I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you will all of the families of the earth be blessed."

¹⁰ The scepter will not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until he comes to whom it belongs. To him will the obedience of the peoples be.
