Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
