Lukas 1:55

Roma 4:13

4:13 For the promise ¹³  to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not fulfilled through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Roma 4:16

4:16 For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, ¹⁴  with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants – not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, ¹⁵  who is the father of us all

[17:19]  ¹ tn Heb “will call his name Isaac.” The name means “he laughs,” or perhaps “may he laugh” (see the note on the word “laughed” in v. 17).

[17:19]  ² tn Or “as an eternal.”

[132:11]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord swore an oath to David [in] truth.”

[132:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “he will not turn back from it.”

[132:11]  ⁵ tn The words “he said” are supplied in the translation to clarify that what follows are the Lord’s words.

[132:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “the fruit of your body.”

[7:20]  ⁷ tn More literally, “You will extend loyalty to Jacob, and loyal love to Abraham.

[7:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “our fathers.” The Hebrew term refers here to more distant ancestors, not immediate parents.

[7:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “which you swore [or, “pledged”] to our fathers from days of old.”

[1:55]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “as he spoke.” Since this is a reference to the covenant to Abraham, ἐλάλησεν (elalhsen) can be translated in context “as he promised.” God keeps his word.

[1:55]  ¹¹ tn Grk “fathers.”

[1:55]  ¹² tn Grk “his seed” (an idiom for offspring or descendants).

[4:13]  ¹³ sn Although a singular noun, the promise is collective and does not refer only to Gen 12:7, but as D. Moo (Romans 1-8 [WEC], 279) points out, refers to multiple aspects of the promise to Abraham: multiplied descendants (Gen 12:2), possession of the land (Gen 13:15-17), and his becoming the vehicle of blessing to all people (Gen 12:13).

[4:16]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “that it might be according to grace.”

[4:16]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “those who are of the faith of Abraham.”
