16. Formal Translation Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but as to one: “And to your seed,” who is Christ. |
16. Dynamic Translation The promises were made to Abraham and to his descendant. Scripture does not say “and to descendants,” as if speaking about many people, but it speaks about one: “and to your descendant,” who is Christ. |
