¹⁸ for if by law `be' the inheritance, `it is' no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant `it'.

¹² that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.

¹³ For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself,

¹⁴ saying, `Blessing indeed I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;'

¹⁵ and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise;

²⁹ and if ye `are' of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise -- heirs.

¹⁶ and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, `And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

¹² and the law is not by faith, but -- `The man who did them shall live in them.'

¹⁰ for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed `is' every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'

²¹ I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness `be' through law -- then Christ died in vain.

¹⁷ and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ -- if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

¹³ For not through law `is' the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

¹⁴ for if they who are of law `are' heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

¹⁵ for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither `is' transgression.

¹⁶ Because of this `it is' of faith, that `it may be' according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which `is' of the law only, but also to that which `is' of the faith of Abraham,

⁷² To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,

⁷³ An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,

⁵⁴ He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,

⁵⁵ As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed -- to the age.'

¹⁸ Who `is' a God like Thee? taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He hath not retained for ever His anger, Because He -- He delighteth `in' kindness.

¹⁹ He doth turn back, He pitieth us, He doth subdue our iniquities, And Thou castest into the depths of the sea all their sins.

²⁰ Thou givest truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, That thou hast sworn to our fathers, from the days of antiquity!

⁴² For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,

⁶ O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

⁷ He `is' Jehovah our God, In all the earth `are' His judgments.

⁸ He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹ That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

¹⁰ And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,

¹¹ Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'

¹² In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.

²⁶ for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,
