13For the promise to Abraham and to his offspringthat he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law,but through the righteousness of faith.

· · · verses 14–15 are not read16For 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 offspring,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.17As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.”This is in the presence of him whom he believed:God, who gives life to the dead,and calls the things that are not,as though they were.18Against hope, Abraham in hope believed,to the end that he might become a father of many nations,according to that which had been spoken,“So will your offspring be.”

6you offspring of Abraham, his servant,you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.7He is the Lord, our God.His judgments are in all the earth.

8He has remembered his covenant forever,the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,9the covenant which he made with Abraham,his oath to Isaac,

42For he remembered his holy word,and Abraham, his servant.43He brought his people out with joy,his chosen with singing.

8“I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men,the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;9but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.10Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven,but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.11When they bring you before the synagogues,the rulers, and the authorities,don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;12for the Holy Spirit will teach you inthat same hour what you must say.”
