romare 4: 13, 16- 18, 22
| 4:13 | För löftet till Abraham, och till hans efterkommande, att han skulle ärva världen, var inte genom lagen, utan genom trons rättvisa. |
| 4:16 | På grund av detta, det är av tro enligt nåd som löftet säkerställs för alla efterkommande, inte bara för dem som är av lagen, men också för dem som är av Abrahams tro, som är allas fader inför Gud, |
| 4:17 | på vem han trodde, som återupplivar de döda och som kallar de saker som inte finns till existens. För det är skrivet: "Jag har upprättat dig som fader till många folk." |
| 4:18 | Och han trodde, med ett hopp bortom hoppet, för att han skulle bli fader till många folk, enligt vad som sagts till honom: "Så skall dina efterkommande vara." |
| 4:22 | Och av denna anledning, det var ansedda för honom till rättvisa. |
Matthew 1: 16, 18- 21, 24
| 1:16 | And Jacob conceived Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. |
| 1:18 | Now the procreation of the Christ occurred in this way. After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they lived together, she was found to have conceived in her womb by the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:19 | Then Joseph, her husband, since he was just and was not willing to hand her over, preferred to send her away secretly. |
| 1:20 | But while thinking over these things, skåda, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, ordspråk: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to accept Mary as your wife. For what has been formed in her is of the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:21 | And she shall give birth to a son. And you shall call his name JESUS. For he shall accomplish the salvation of his people from their sins.” |
| 1:24 | Then Joseph, arising from sleep, did just as the Angel of the Lord had instructed him, and he accepted her as his wife. |
