Galatians 3: 7 - 14
|
| 7
|
So you see that it is men of faith who are the sons of Abraham.
|
| 8
|
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed."
|
| 9
|
So then, those who are men of faith are blessed with Abraham who had faith.
|
| 10
|
For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them."
|
| 11
|
Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for "He who through faith is righteous shall live";
|
| 12
|
but the law does not rest on faith, for "He who does them shall live by them."
|
| 13
|
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us -- for it is written, "Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree" --
|
| 14
|
that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
