6 Como Abraham creyó á Dios, y le fué imputado á justicia.

7 Sabéis por tanto, que los que son de fe, los tales son hijos de Abraham.

8 Y viendo antes la Escritura que Dios por la fe había de justificar á los Gentiles, evangelizó antes á Abraham, [diciendo]: En ti serán benditas todas las naciones.

9 Luego los de la fe son benditos con el creyente Abraham.
