¹⁶ Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of ^(A)one, ^(B)“And to your Seed,” who is ^(C)Christ.

⁴ who are Israelites, ^(A)to whom pertain the adoption, ^(B)the glory, ^(C)the covenants, ^(D)the giving of the law, ^(E)the service of God, and ^(F)the promises; ^5 (G)of whom are the fathers and from ^(H)whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, ^(I)who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
