Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Ephesians 3:6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.Romans 9:7–8Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”Romans 4:13For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.Galatians 3:7Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.1 John 3:1Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.Romans 8:17And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.Galatians 4:22–31For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.Romans 4:16–21Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.Galatians 3:9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.Galatians 6:16Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.Luke 19:9Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.1 Corinthians 3:23and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.Titus 3:7so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life.Galatians 4:7So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.Hebrews 2:16For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.Psalms 115:12The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;James 2:5Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?Revelation 21:7The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.
