It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
Romans 4:13
Kenneth Bailey has pointed out that Paul is referring here to the promise in Genesis that Abraham and his descendants would inherit the land, but that in referring to this promise he substitutes âthe worldâ (Greek kosmos) for âthe landâ. He explains Paulâs thinking as follows:
For Paul, the âchildren of Abrahamâ are those Jews and Gentiles who through faith in Christ have been made righteous. The âlandâ becomes the âworldâ (kosmos), which is the inheritance of the righteous.24
