The dative clause tō Abraam ē tō spermati autou {τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ἢ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ | toî Abraám ē toî spérma-ti autoû} ‘to Abraham or to his offspring’ identifies the promise’s recipients.
In context — Romans 4:13
For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring—that he would be heir of the world—did not come through the law, but through the righteousness of faith .
