“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. — the logic circles back: believers, incorporated into Christ (the singular 'seed' of v.16), thereby become Abraham's true descendants and heirs ('klēronomoi') of the promise; faith-incorporation into Christ is the mechanism of participation in the Abrahamic promise.
