“And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.”
The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: 'All nations will be blessed through you.' — Paul reads the Abrahamic promise (Genesis 12:3, 18:18) as proto-evangelium, a forward proclamation ('proeeuangelidzo') of Gentile inclusion through faith; God's plan for Gentile justification has always been through faith, not Torah.
