Talált 421 Eredmények: Abraham's descendants
If Abraham had been justified because of what he had done, then he would have had something to boast about. But not before God: (Romans 4, 2)
does not scripture say: Abraham put his faith in God and this was reckoned to him as uprightness? (Romans 4, 3)
Is this blessing only for the circumcised, or is it said of the uncircumcised as well? Well, we said of Abraham that his faith was reckoned to him as uprightness. (Romans 4, 9)
and circumcision was given to him later, as a sign and a guarantee that the faith which he had while still uncircumcised was reckoned to him as uprightness. In this way, Abraham was to be the ancestor of all believers who are uncircumcised, so that they might be reckoned as upright; (Romans 4, 11)
as well as the ancestor of those of the circumcision who not only have their circumcision but who also follow our ancestor Abraham along the path of faith that he trod before he was circumcised. (Romans 4, 12)
For the promise to Abraham and his descendants that he should inherit the world was not through the Law, but through the uprightness of faith. (Romans 4, 13)
That is why the promise is to faith, so that it comes as a free gift and is secure for all the descendants, not only those who rely on the Law but all those others who rely on the faith of Abraham, the ancestor of us all (Romans 4, 16)
(as scripture says: I have made you the father of many nations). Abraham is our father in the eyes of God, in whom he put his faith, and who brings the dead to life and calls into existence what does not yet exist. (Romans 4, 17)
Though there seemed no hope, he hoped and believed that he was to become father of many nations in fulfilment of the promise: Just so will your descendants be. (Romans 4, 18)
and not all the descendants of Abraham count as his children, for Isaac is the one through whom your Name will be carried on. (Romans 9, 7)
What I am saying is this: is it possible that God abandoned his people? Out of the question! I too am an Israelite, descended from Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. (Romans 11, 1)
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. (2 Corinthians 11, 22)
