6 So it was with Abraham. The holy writings say He believed God, and that was why God called him a good man.
7 You see then, the people who believe God are children of Abraham.
8 The holy writings say that he will put people right with himself if they believe him, even those who are not Jews. It was written down before God did it. The holy writings told the good news to Abraham ahead of time. It said, God will make you a blessing to all nations and people.
9 Abraham believed God and was blessed. And so those who believe God are blessed too, along with him.
