• Genesis 18:16

  The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.

• Genesis 18:19

  For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”

• Genesis 18:23

  Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?

• Genesis 18:24

  What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?

• Genesis 18:25

• Genesis 21:11

  The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

• Genesis 21:12

  God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.

• Genesis 21:13

  I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”

• Genesis 21:14

  Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

• Genesis 21:22

  At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.

• Genesis 21:23

  Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”

• Genesis 21:24

  Abraham said, “I will swear.”

• Genesis 21:25

  Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

• Genesis 21:26

  Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”

• Genesis 21:27

  Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.

• Genesis 21:28

  Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

• Genesis 21:29

  Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?”

• Genesis 21:30

  He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”

• Genesis 21:31

  Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore there.

• Genesis 21:32

  So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

• Genesis 21:33

  Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

• Genesis 21:34

• Genesis 22:1

  After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”

• Genesis 22:2

  He said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”

• Genesis 22:3

  Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.

• Genesis 22:4

  On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.

• Genesis 22:5

  Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you.”

• Genesis 22:6

  Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.

• Genesis 22:7

  Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

• Genesis 22:8

  Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.

• Genesis 22:9

  They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

• Genesis 22:10

  Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.

• Genesis 22:11

  Yahweh’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”

• Genesis 22:12

  He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

• Genesis 22:13

  Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

• Genesis 22:14

  Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide. As it is said to this day, “On Yahweh’s mountain, it will be provided.”

• Genesis 22:15

  Yahweh’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,

• Genesis 22:16

  and said, “I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

• Genesis 22:17

  that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.

• Genesis 22:18

  All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.”

• Genesis 22:19

  So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.

• Genesis 23:1

  Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.

• Genesis 23:2

  Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

• Genesis 23:3

  Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,

• Genesis 23:4

  “I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”

• Genesis 23:5

  The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

• Genesis 23:6

  “Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”

• Genesis 23:7

  Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.

• Genesis 23:8

  He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,

• Genesis 23:9

  that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me among you for a possession of a burying-place.”

• Genesis 23:10

  Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,

• Genesis 23:11

  “No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”

• Genesis 23:12

  Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.

• Genesis 23:13

  He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”

• Genesis 23:14

  Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

• Genesis 23:15

  “My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”

• Genesis 23:16

  Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.

• Genesis 23:17

  So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded

• Genesis 23:18

  to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

  found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his offspring, and have performed your words; for you are righteous.

• Isaiah 41:8

  “But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham my friend,

• Isaiah 51:2

  Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.

• Ezekiel 33:24

  Son of man, they who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.

• Micah 7:20

  You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

• Matthew 8:11

  I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,

• Luke 1:73

  the oath which he swore to Abraham, our father,

• Luke 13:28

  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.

• Luke 16:22

  The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

• Luke 16:23

  In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

• Luke 16:24

  He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’

• Luke 16:25

  “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.

• Luke 16:26

  Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’

• Luke 16:27

  “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;

• Luke 16:28

  for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

• Luke 16:29

  “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

• Luke 16:30

  “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

• Luke 16:31

  “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”

• Acts 7:2

  He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

• Acts 7:3

  and said to him, ‘Get out of your land, and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’

• Acts 7:4

  Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land, where you are now living.

• Romans 4:1

  What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

• Romans 4:2

  For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

• Romans 4:3

  For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

• Romans 4:4

  Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

• Romans 4:5

  But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

• Romans 4:6

  Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

• Romans 4:7

  “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

• Romans 4:8

  Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”

• Romans 4:9

  Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

• Romans 4:10

  How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

• Romans 4:11

  He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

• Romans 4:12

  He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

• Romans 4:13

  For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he should be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

• Romans 4:14

  For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

• Romans 4:15

  For the law produces wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

• Romans 4:16

  For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, 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.

• Romans 4:17

  As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

• Romans 4:18

  Besides hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”

• Romans 4:19

  Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

• Romans 4:20

  Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

• Romans 4:21

  and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

• Romans 4:22

  Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”

• Romans 15:8

  Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,

• Galatians 3:6

  Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”

• Galatians 3:7

  Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.

• Galatians 3:8

  The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”

• Galatians 3:9

  So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

• Galatians 3:10

  For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.”

• Galatians 3:11

  Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

• Galatians 3:12

  The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”

• Galatians 3:13

  Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”

• Galatians 3:14

  that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

• Galatians 3:15

  Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

• Galatians 3:16

  Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants ”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring ”, which is Christ.

• Galatians 3:17

  Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

• Galatians 3:18

  For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

• Galatians 3:29

  If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.

• Galatians 4:22

  For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.

• Galatians 4:23

  However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

• Galatians 4:24

  These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.

• Galatians 4:25

  For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.

• Galatians 4:26

  But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

• Galatians 4:27

  For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you that don’t travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a husband.”

• Galatians 4:28

  Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

• Galatians 4:29

  But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

• Galatians 4:30

  However what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”

• Galatians 4:31

  So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.

• Hebrews 6:13

  For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

• Hebrews 6:14

  saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”

• Hebrews 7:1

  For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

• Hebrews 7:2

  to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”;

• Hebrews 7:3

  without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.

• Hebrews 7:4

  Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best plunder.

• Hebrews 7:5

  They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,

• Hebrews 7:6

  but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

• Hebrews 7:7

  But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

• Hebrews 7:8

  Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.

• Hebrews 7:9

  We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,

• Hebrews 7:10

  for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

• Hebrews 11:8

  By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.

• Hebrews 11:9

  By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

• Hebrews 11:10

  For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

• Hebrews 11:17

  By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son,

• Hebrews 11:18

  to whom it was said, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac”;

• Hebrews 11:19

  concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

• Hebrews 17:1
• Hebrews 17:2
• Hebrews 17:3
• Hebrews 17:4
• Hebrews 17:5
• Hebrews 17:6
• Hebrews 17:7
• Hebrews 17:8
• Hebrews 17:9
• Hebrews 17:10
• Hebrews 17:11
• Hebrews 17:12
• Hebrews 17:13
• Hebrews 17:14
• Hebrews 17:15
• Hebrews 17:16
• Hebrews 17:17
• Hebrews 17:18
• Hebrews 17:19
• Hebrews 17:20
• Hebrews 17:21
• Hebrews 17:22
• James 2:21

  Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

• James 2:22

  You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;

• James 2:23

  and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness”; and he was called the friend of God.

• James 2:24

  You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith.
