| 6 Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. | 6 Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." |
| 7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. | 7 Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. |
| 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU. | 8 The 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 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer. | 9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. |
