Lord said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’

Lord said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’

Acts 3:25, 26

25 And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’[b] 

26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”

Rom 12:14

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited.

 Lk 6:28

28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.

Lk 24:50

50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.
