Gen 17:4 · Douay-Rheims
“And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.”
On this verse:
“I am unchangeable, and faithful to my promises, the only God. (Du Hamel) — Nations. Jews, Saracens or Arabs, Idumeans, and, by faith, of all nations who shall believe in Christ, the King of kings. (Calmet) — The true Church will never then be reduced to a few unknown believers, as the Donatists and Protestants assert. (Worthington)”
