Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Nun ist ja die Verheißung Abraham und seinem Samen zugesagt. Er spricht nicht: "durch die Samen", als durch viele, sondern als durch einen: "durch deinen Samen", welcher ist Christus.
A Abraham fueron hechas las promesas, y a su simiente. No dice: Y a las simientes, como de muchos; sino como de uno: Y a tu simiente, la cual es Cristo.
Ahora bien, las promesas fueron hechas a Abraham y a su descendiente. No dice «Y a los descendientes», como refiriéndose a muchos, sino a uno: «Y a tu descendiente», que es Cristo.
Or les promesses ont été faites à Abraham et à sa postérité. Il n'est pas dit: et aux postérités, comme s'il s'agissait de plusieurs, mais en tant qu'il s'agit d'une seule: et à ta postérité, c'est-à-dire, à Christ.
Or le promesse furono fatte ad Abrahamo, ed alla sua progenie; non dice: Ed alle progenie, come parlando di molte; ma come d’una: Ed alla tua progenie, che è Cristo.
Ora, as promessas foram feitas a Abraão e à sua descendência. Não diz: E às descendências, como falando de muitas, mas como de uma só: E à tua descendência, que é Cristo.
那些應許原是向 亞伯拉罕 和他後裔說的,並不是說「和眾後裔」,指許多人,而是說「和你那個後裔」,指一個人,就是基督。
