¹⁹ Then God said: “No, ^(A)Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My ^(B)covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

²⁸ Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are ^(A)beloved for the sake of the fathers. ²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are ^(B)irrevocable.

⁴ And ^(A)I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; ^(B)and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;

^18 (A)In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, ^(B)because you have obeyed My voice.”

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. ¹⁷ And this I say, that the law, ^(D)which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God ^[a]in Christ, ^(E)that it should make the promise of no effect.
