⁸ And the Scripture, foreseeing that ^(A)God would justify^[a] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, ^(B)“In you shall all the nations be blessed.”

^3 (A)I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and ^(B)in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”^[a]

¹⁸ and ^(A)in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, ^(B)because you have obeyed my voice.”

The Seventh Trumpet

¹⁵ Then ^(A)the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and ^(B)there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ^(C)“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of ^(D)his Christ, and ^(E)he shall reign forever and ever.”

² For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because ^(A)they were not united by faith with those who listened.^[a]

¹⁵ and how ^(A)from childhood you have been acquainted with ^(B)the sacred writings, ^(C)which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ^16 (D)All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ¹⁷ that ^(E)the man of God^[a] may be complete, ^(F)equipped ^(G)for every good work.

²² But the Scripture ^(A)imprisoned everything under sin, so that ^(B)the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given ^(C)to those who believe.

¹⁶ Now ^(A)the promises were made ^(B)to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, ^(C)“And to your offspring,” who is Christ.
