Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
6 Consider the experience of Abraham; as the scripture says, "He believed God, and because of his faith God accepted him as righteous."
6
So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 You should realize, then, that the real descendants of Abraham are the people who have faith.
7
Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.
8 The scripture predicted that God would put the Gentiles right with himself through faith. And so the scripture announced the Good News to Abraham: "Through you God will bless all people."
8
Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
9 Abraham believed and was blessed; so all who believe are blessed as he was.
9
So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
