-\v 16 So it is because we trust in God that we will receive the things that he has promised. And he promises these things to us as a gift, because he is very kind. He acts in this way in order to give these things to everyone whom he regards as a true descendant of Abraham—us Jewish believers, who have God's law and trust him, and also those non-Jews who do not have God's laws but who trust in him as Abraham did. For God regards Abraham as the true  ancestor of all of us believers.
