Bible: Genesis 12:1-3; 17:6,16, 19

The Obedience of Abram

12:1 Now the Lord said 1  to Abram, 2 

“Go out 3  from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household

to the land that I will show you. 4 

12:2 Then I will make you 5  into a great nation, and I will bless you, 6 

and I will make your name great, 7 

so that you will exemplify divine blessing. 8 

12:3 I will bless those who bless you, 9 

but the one who treats you lightly 10  I must curse,

and all the families of the earth will bless one another 11  by your name.”

17:6 I will make you 1  extremely 2  fruitful. I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you. 3  17:16 I will bless her and will give you a son through her. I will bless her and she will become a mother of nations. 4  Kings of countries 5  will come from her!

17:19 God said, “No, Sarah your wife is going to bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac. 6  I will confirm my covenant with him as a perpetual 7  covenant for his descendants after him.
