This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:
2
Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
17
Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.

And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
11
I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
32
‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
26
Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
55
to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.”
8
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
34
the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,
16
Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”
28
“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out.
22
“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.
23
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
24
So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’
25
“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.
26
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
27
“He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family,
28
for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29
“Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’
30
“ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31
“He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”
9
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
37
But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
33
They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”
34
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35
Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37
I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word.
38
I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.”
39
“Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would do what Abraham did.
40
As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things.
52
At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death.
53
Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
54
Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.
55
Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.
56
Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57
“You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
58
“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
13
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.
25
And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’
2
To this he replied: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Harran.
3
‘Leave your country and your people,’ God said, ‘and go to the land I will show you.’
4
“So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.
5
He gave him no inheritance here, not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child.
6
God spoke to him in this way: ‘For four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated.
7
But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.’
8
Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.

16
Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money.
17
“As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased.
32
‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
26
“Fellow children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
1
What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?
2
If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.
3
What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
9
Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
12
And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13
It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
16
Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
7
Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”
1
I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
22
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham’s descendants? So am I.
6
So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7
Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.
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 those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
10
For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
11
Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”
12
The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”
13
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”
14
He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
15
Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case.
16
The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.
17
What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.
18
For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
19
Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator.
20
A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
21
Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
22
But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
23
Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
24
So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
25
Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
26
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
27
for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29
If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
22
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
16
For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.
13
When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,
14
saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.”
15
And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
1
This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
2
and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
3
Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.
4
Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!
5
Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham.
6
This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7
And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8
In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.
9
One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,
8
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
17
By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son,
21
Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22
You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.
23
And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.
6
like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
