Rom. 4:11‑16• 11And he received [the] sign of circumcision as seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] in uncircumcision, in order to his being father of all that believe in a state of uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also,
 12and father of circumcision not only to those circumcised but also to those that walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while in uncircumcision.
 13For not by law was [the] promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but by righteousness of faith.
 14For if those that are of law [be] heirs, faith is made vain and the promise is annulled.
 15For the law worketh out wrath; but where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
 16On this account [it is] of faith that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not only to that which [is] of the law, but also to that which [is] of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all (Rom. 4:11‑16)

Gal. 4:22‑31• 22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one of the maidservant and one of the freewoman.
 23But he that was of the maidservant was born according to flesh, and he that was of the freewoman through the promise.
 24Which things are given allegorically, for these are two covenants, one from Mount Sina, gendering unto bondage, which is Agar.
 25For Agar is Mount Sina in Arabia, but correspondeth with the existing Jerusalem, for she is in bondage with her children.
 26But the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother,
 27for it is written, “Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; for the children of the desolate are many more than of her that hath the husband.”
 28But we, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.
 29But as then he that was born according to flesh persecuted him that was according to Spirit, so now.
 30But what saith the scripture? “Cast out the maidservant and her son. For in no wise shall the son of the maidservant inherit with the son of the freewoman.”
 31Therefore, brethren, we are not children of a maidservant, but of the freewoman. (Gal. 4:22‑31)
