heirs
And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
For the promise that Abraham would be heir of the world was not made to him and his descendants through the Law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ--if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.
So it is not the children of the flesh who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.
and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
For if the inheritance depends on the Law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything.
Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of the promise.
Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
