Genesis 15:9-17
New International Version
9 So the Lord said to him, “Bring me a heifer,(A) a goat and a ram, each three years old,(B) along with a dove and a young pigeon.(C)”
10 Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other;(D) the birds, however, he did not cut in half.(E) 11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses,(F) but Abram drove them away.
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep,(G) and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years(H) your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved(I) and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out(J) with great possessions.(K) 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors(L) in peace and be buried at a good old age.(M) 16 In the fourth generation(N) your descendants will come back here,(O) for the sin of the Amorites(P) has not yet reached its full measure.”
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch(Q) appeared and passed between the pieces.(R)

Genesis 15:9-17
King James Version
9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

New International Version
Galatians 3:7-14
New International Version
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith(A) are children of Abraham.(B) 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](C) 9 So those who rely on faith(D) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.(E)
10 For all who rely on the works of the law(F) are under a curse,(G) as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[b](H) 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God,(I) because “the righteous will live by faith.”[c](J) 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”[d](K) 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law(L) by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[e](M) 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,(N) so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.(O)

Galatians 3:7-14
King James Version
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
