Romans 4:21being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.Romans 4:22This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”Romans 15:8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,Galatians 3:6So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”Galatians 3:7Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.Galatians 3:8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”Galatians 3:9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.Galatians 3:10All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”Galatians 3:11Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”Galatians 3:12The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”Galatians 3:13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”Galatians 3:14He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.Galatians 3:15Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.Galatians 3:16The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.Galatians 3:17What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.Galatians 3:18For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.Galatians 3:29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.Galatians 4:22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.Galatians 4:23His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.Galatians 4:24These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar.Galatians 4:25Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.Galatians 4:26But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.Galatians 4:27For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”Galatians 4:28Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.Galatians 4:29At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now.Galatians 4:30But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”Galatians 4:31Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.Hebrews 6:13When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,Hebrews 6:14saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”Hebrews 7:1This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,Hebrews 7:2and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”Hebrews 7:3Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.Hebrews 7:4Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.Hebrews 7:5Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.Hebrews 7:6But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.Hebrews 7:7And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.Hebrews 7:8In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.Hebrews 7:9And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.Hebrews 7:10For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.Hebrews 11:8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.Hebrews 11:9By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.Hebrews 11:10For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.Hebrews 11:17By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,Hebrews 11:18even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”Hebrews 11:19Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.James 2:21Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?James 2:22You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.James 2:23And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.James 2:24As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
