18and ain your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, bbecause you have obeyed my voice.”

Matthew 1:1-17

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

1 cThe book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, dthe son of David, ethe son of Abraham.

2 fAbraham was the father of Isaac, and gIsaac the father of Jacob, and hJacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3and iJudah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,
Greek Aram; also verse 4
4and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5and Salmon the father of Boaz by kRahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6and lJesse the father of David the king.

And mDavid was the father of Solomon by nthe wife of Uriah,
7and oSolomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,
 Asaph is probably an alternate spelling of Asa; some manuscripts Asa; also verse 8
8and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, qand Joram the father of Uzziah, 9and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,
 Amos is probably an alternate spelling of Amon; some manuscripts Amon; twice in this verse
and Amos the father of Josiah,
11and sJosiah the father of tJechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

12And after the deportation to Babylon: uJechoniah was the father of vShealtiel,
Greek Salathiel; twice in this verse
and xShealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
13and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16and Jacob the father of yJoseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

17So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to zthe Christ fourteen generations.

Romans 4:16-25

16That is why it depends on faith, aain order that the promise may rest on grace and abbe guaranteed to all his offspringnot only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, acwho is the father of us all, 17as it is written, ad“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, aewho gives life to the dead and calls into existence afthe things that do not exist. 18In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, agSo shall your offspring be.” 19He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was ahas good as dead ( aisince he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered ajthe barrenness
Greek deadness
of Sarah’s womb.
20No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21fully convinced that alGod was able to do what he had promised. 22That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” 23But amthe words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, 24but for ours also. It will be counted to us anwho believe in aohim who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25 apwho was delivered up for our trespasses and raised aqfor our justification.

Galatians 3:16

16Now arthe promises were made asto Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, atAnd to your offspring,” who is Christ.

Galatians 3:29

29And auif you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, avheirs according to promise.
