Löydetty 246 Tulokset: Abraham
Now the promises were addressed to Abraham and to his progeny. The words were not and to his progenies in the plural, but in the singular; and to your progeny, which means Christ. (Galatians 3, 16)
You see, if the inheritance comes by the Law, it no longer comes through a promise; but it was by a promise that God made his gift to Abraham. (Galatians 3, 18)
And simply by being Christ's, you are that progeny of Abraham, the heirs named in the promise. (Galatians 3, 29)
Scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave girl and one by the freewoman. (Galatians 4, 22)
For it was not the angels that he took to himself; he took to himself the line of Abraham. (Hebrews 2, 16)
When God made the promise to Abraham, he swore by his own self, since there was no one greater he could swear by: (Hebrews 6, 13)
Because of that, Abraham persevered and received fulfilment of the promise. (Hebrews 6, 15)
Melchizedek, king of Salem, a priest of God Most High, came to meet Abraham when he returned from defeating the kings, and blessed him; (Hebrews 7, 1)
and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. By the interpretation of his name, he is, first, 'king of saving justice' and also king of Salem, that is, 'king of peace'; (Hebrews 7, 2)
Now think how great this man must have been, if the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the finest plunder. (Hebrews 7, 4)
We know that any of the descendants of Levi who are admitted to the priesthood are obliged by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their own brothers although they too are descended from Abraham. (Hebrews 7, 5)
But this man, who was not of the same descent, took his tithe from Abraham, and he gave his blessing to the holder of the promises. (Hebrews 7, 6)
