6 And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise ^ymade by God to our fathers,

The Promise Realized Through Faith

13 For the ^ypromise to Abraham and his offspring ^zthat he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles

8 For I tell you that ^aChrist became a servant to the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs,

16 Now ^xthe promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, ^y“And to your offspring,” ^zwho is Christ.
