Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA
New International Version NIV
6 Understand that in the same way that Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness,
6
So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 those who believe are the children of Abraham.
7
Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.
8 But when it saw ahead of time that God would make the Gentiles righteous on the basis of faith, scripture preached the gospel in advance to Abraham: All the Gentiles will be blessed in 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 Therefore, those who believe are blessed together with Abraham who believed.
9
So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
