New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
6 In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”
6
So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.
7
Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.
8 What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would declare the Gentiles to be righteous because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “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 put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
9
So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
