New Century Version NCV
New International Version NIV
6 The Scriptures say the same thing about Abraham: "Abraham believed God, and God accepted Abraham's faith, and that faith made him right with God."
6
So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 So you should know that the true children of Abraham are those who have faith.
7
Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.
8 The Scriptures, telling what would happen in the future, said that God would make the non-Jewish people right through their faith. This Good News was told to Abraham beforehand, as the Scripture says: "All nations will be blessed through you."
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 So all who believe as Abraham believed are blessed just as Abraham was.
9
So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
