| Colossians 1:23 23 If you continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached in every creature under heaven;4 of which I, Paul, was made a minister. | Galatians 3:8 8 And [know] the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, [God] preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you will all nations be blessed." [In the time of Abraham, not a single scripture existed. Christ did the preaching of the gospel then; he preaches now; and Christ will continue to preach the gospel from within a man's heart. See Col 1:23 footnote for more.] | Genesis 22:18 18 And in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."1 | |||||||
