Therefore, [inheriting] the promise depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be given as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] guaranteed to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [Jewish believers] who keep the Law, but also for those [Gentile believers] who share the faith of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all—
Therefore 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,
This is why the fulfillment of God’s promise depends entirely on trusting God and his way, and then simply embracing him and what he does. God’s promise arrives as pure gift. That’s the only way everyone can be sure to get in on it, those who keep the religious traditions and those who have never heard of them. For Abraham is father of us all. He is not our racial father—that’s reading the story backward. He is our faith father. 17-18 We call Abraham “father” not because he got God’s attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody. Isn’t that what we’ve always read in Scripture, God saying to Abraham, “I set you up as father of many peoples”? Abraham was first named “father” and then became a father because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nothing. When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do. And so he was made father of a multitude of peoples. God himself said to him, “You’re going to have a big family, Abraham!” 19-25 Abraham didn’t focus on his own impotence and say, “It’s hopeless. This hundred-year-old body could never father a child.” Nor did he survey Sarah’s decades of infertility and give up. He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said. That’s why it is said, “Abraham was declared fit before God by trusting God to set him right.” But it’s not just Abraham; it’s also us! The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe the One who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were equally hopeless. The sacrificed Jesus made us fit for God, set us right with God.
For this reason it is [o]by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the [p]descendants, not only to [q]those who are of the Law, but also to [r]those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
Por tanto, las bendiciones de Dios solamente pueden obtenerse por fe, gratuitamente; y así la promesa de Dios permanece firme para toda la descendencia de Abraham. No sólo para la que permanece sujeta a la ley de Moisés, sino también para los que tenemos una fe como la de Abraham, que es nuestro padre en cuanto a la fe se refiere.
The promise is based on God’s grace. The promise comes by faith. All of Abraham’s children will certainly receive the promise. And it is not only for those who are ruled by the law. Those who have the same faith that Abraham had are also included. He is the father of us all.
Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring – not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe.

Busa ang saad sa Dios gibasi sa pagtuo, aron mahimong gasa gikan sa Dios ug masiguro nga kini madawat sa tanang mga kaliwat ni Abraham—dili lamang sa mga Judio nga nasakop sa Kasugoan kondili sa mga dili Judio nga nagatuo usab sama kang Abraham. Kay si Abraham mao ang amahan sa tanan nga nagatuo, Judio man o dili.

Det hele bygger altså på tro, og dermed bliver opfyldelsen af løftet en gave. På den måde er der heller ingen tvivl om, at løftet virkelig bliver opfyldt. Og løftet gælder ikke kun for dem, som lever under de love, som Moses modtog, men for alle, som regnes for Abrahams børn, fordi de har den samme tillid til Gud, som han havde. På den måde er Abraham blevet far til alle os, som tror.
German
Deshalb gilt Gottes Zusage allein dem, der glaubt. Denn was Gott versprochen hatte, sollte ja ein Geschenk sein. Nur so bleibt die Zusage überhaupt gültig, und zwar für alle Nachkommen von Abraham. Das sind nicht nur die Juden, die das Gesetz haben, sondern auch alle anderen Menschen, die Gott so vertrauen wie Abraham. Deshalb ist Abraham der Vater von uns allen.

Voilà pourquoi l’héritage se reçoit par la foi : c’est pour qu’il soit un don de la grâce. Ainsi, la promesse se trouve confirmée à toute la descendance d’Abraham, c’est-à-dire non seulement à celle qui a la Loi, mais aussi à celle qui partage la foi d’Abraham. Il est notre père à tous,
Hebrew
משום כך ברכותיו של אלוהים ניתנות לנו במתנה על-ידי אמונה. ברוב חסדו מעניק אלוהים את ברכותיו והבטחותיו לכל צאצאי אברהם – לאלה החיים לפי התורה, ולאלה המאמינים באלוהים כאברהם, שהוא האב הרוחני של כולנו.

Kay si Abraham amo ang amay sang tanan nga nagatuo, Judio man ukon indi.

Zato je važna vjera. Božje smo obećanje dobili na dar. I sigurni smo da ćemo ga primiti, držali se židovskih običaja ili ne, budemo li samo imali vjeru poput Abrahamove. Jer Abraham je otac svih koji vjeruju.

Quindi, è per la nostra fede che Dio ci dà le sue benedizioni, come un dono gratuito. Solo così siamo certi di ricevere queste benedizioni, sia che osserviamo o meno le leggi ebraiche. Lʼimportante è avere la stessa fede di Abramo che, in materia di fede, è il padre di tutti quanti noi.

Wat God ons door zijn genade wil geven, wordt alleen ons eigendom als wij in Hem geloven. En Gods belofte aan al Abrahams nakomelingen is vast en zeker. Zij geldt niet alleen voor hen die volgens Gods wet leven, maar ook voor hen die, net als Abraham, alleen op God vertrouwen. Want als het om geloof gaat, is Abraham de vader van ons allemaal.
