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.”^[a](A)

¹⁸ and through your offspring^[a] all nations on earth will be blessed,^[b](A) because you have obeyed me.”^(B)

¹⁴ Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you^(A) will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south.^(B) All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.^[a](C)

⁴ I will make your descendants^(A) as numerous as the stars in the sky^(B) and will give them all these lands,^(C) and through your offspring^[a] all nations on earth will be blessed,^[b](D)

¹⁸ Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation,^(A) and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.^[a]

²⁸ For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.^{(A) 29} Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,^{(B) 30} since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.^(C)

²² But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin,^(A) so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

² For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.^[a](A)
