Abraham

For the promise that he should be the heire of the worlde, was not giuen to Abraham, or to his seede, through the Lawe, but through the righteousnesse of faith.

Therefore it is by faith, that it might come by grace, and the promise might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely which is of the Lawe: but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of vs all,

Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:

I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.

They are Hebrues, so am I: they are Israelites, so am I: they are the seede of Abraham, so am I:

Yea rather as Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed to him for righteousnes.

Knowe ye therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

For the Scripture foreseeing, that God would iustifie the Gentiles through faith, preached before the Gospel vnto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham.

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Iesus, that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirite through faith.

Nowe to Abraham and his seede were the promises made. Hee saith not, And to the seedes, as speaking of many: but, And to thy seede, as of one, which is Christ.

For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise.

And if ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heires by promise.

For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, one by a seruant, and one by a free woman.

For he in no sort tooke on him the Angels nature, but hee tooke on him the seede of Abraham.

For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he had no greater to sweare by, he sware by himselfe,

For this Melchi-sedec was King of Salem, the Priest of the most high God, who met Abraham, as he returned from the slaughter of the Kings, and blessed him:

To whom also Abraham gaue the tithe of all things: who first is by interpretation King of righteousnes: after that, he is also King of Salem, that is, King of peace,

Nowe consider how great this man was, vnto whome euen the Patriarke Abraham gaue the tithe of the spoyles.

For verely they which are the childre of Leui, which receiue the office of the Priesthode, haue a commandement to take, according to the Law, tithes of the people (that is, of their bethren) though they came out of ye loynes of Abraham.

But he whose kindred is not couted among them, receiued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

And to say as the thing is, Leui also which receiueth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed God, to goe out into a place, which hee should afterward receiue for inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

By faith Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was tryed, and he that had receiued the promises, offered his onely begotten sonne.

Was not Abraham our father iustified through workes, when he offred Isaac his sonne vpon the altar?
