We are heirs of Abraham in baptism

Galatians 3:23-29

23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.

Gálatas 3:23-20

23 Pero antes que viniese la fe, estábamos guardados bajo la ley, encerrados para aquella fe que había de ser revelada. 24 De manera que la ley fue nuestro ayo para traernos a Cristo, para que fuésemos justificados por la fe. 25 Mas venida la fe, ya no estamos bajo ayo, 26 porque todos sois hijos de Dios por la fe en Cristo Jesús, 27 porque todos los que habéis sido bautizados en Cristo, de Cristo estáis revestidos. 28 Ya no hay judío ni griego; no hay esclavo ni libre; no hay varón ni mujer; porque todos vosotros sois uno en Cristo Jesús. 29 Y si vosotros sois de Cristo, entonces simiente de Abraham sois, y herederos conforme a la promesa.

In the watches of the night

Luke 12:31-40

35 “Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, 36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those servants*n1 whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. 38 If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! 39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Lucas 12:31-40

35 “Estén ceñidos vuestros lomos, y vuestras lámparas encendidas;” 36 “y vosotros sed semejantes a hombres que esperan cuando su señor ha de volver de las bodas; para que cuando venga y toque, en seguida le abran.” 37 “Bienaventurados aquellos siervos a quienes el señor, cuando venga, halle velando; de cierto os digo que se ceñirá, y hará que se sienten a la mesa, y vendrá y les servirá.” 38 “Y si viene a la segunda vigilia, o aunque venga a la tercera vigilia, y los halla así, bienaventurados son aquellos siervos.” 39 “Y esto sabed, que si supiese el padre de familia a qué hora había de venir el ladrón, velaría ciertamente, y no dejaría minar su casa.” 40 “Vosotros, pues, también, estad apercibidos; porque a la hora que no penséis, el Hijo del Hombre vendrá.”
