Bible Verses About Abraham: God's Covenant

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse:
