Berean Standard Bible

“And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.”

Galatians 3:29

Save as image

Study note

Paul is arguing that the promise to Abraham is inherited by faith, not by keeping the law of Moses. He has just said that in Christ there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female in terms of standing before God.
