Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying… I. Old as Abraham: the promise given to him contained the spirit of it — the assurance of it — the power of it, for he was justified by faith. II. Comprehensive as the world: it includes all nations — offers them the same privileges — on the same terms. III. Unchangeable as God: it is His purpose. — foreseen and predicted — steadily advancing with the course of time — must be fully accomplished in the happiness of all nations. (J. Lyth.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. |
