Rom. 4:11‑16• 11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
 12And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
 13For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
 14For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
 15Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
 16Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (Rom. 4:11‑16)
;
Gal. 4:22‑31• 22For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
 23But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
 24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
 25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
 26But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
 27For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
 28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
 29But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
 30Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
 31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. (Gal. 4:22‑31)
