ESV Hebrews 11:11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

ESV Romans 4:1-5 . . . if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness . . .

ESV Romans 4:13 . . . the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

“If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification . . . let him be anathema.”

“If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than confidence in divine mercy, which remits sins for Christ's sake, or that it is this confidence alone that justifies us, let him be anathema.”

ESV Romans 4:18-25 In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, "So shall your offspring be." He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb . . . he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was "counted to him as righteousness."

ESV Romans 4:18-25 But the words "it was counted to him" were not written for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

ESV Galatians 3:16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many, but referring to one, "And to your offspring," who is Christ.

Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. ESV Galatians 3:7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.  

Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. ESV Galatians 3:7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.   ESV Galatians 3:29 . . . if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well, and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

ESV Romans 2:28-29 . . . no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter.

ESV John 8:39-44 If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did, but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did . . . You are of your father the devil . . .

ESV Revelation 2:9 I know . . . the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.  

ESV Revelation 2:9 I know . . . the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.   ESV Revelation 3:9 . . . I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie - behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and they will learn that I have loved you.

ESV Galatians 6:15-16 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and* upon the Israel of God.
