Galatians 3:5-14
New American Standard Bible
5 So then, does He who (A)provides you with the Spirit and (B)works [a]miracles among you, do it by works of [b]the Law, or by (C)hearing [c]with faith?
6 Just as (D)Abraham (E)believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. 7 Therefore, recognize that (F)it is those who are of faith who are (G)sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God [d]would justify the [e]Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “(H)All the nations will be blessed in you.” 9 So then, (I)those who are of faith are blessed with [f]Abraham, the believer.
10 For all who are of works of [g]the Law are under a curse; for it is written: “(J)Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things written in the book of the Law, to do them.” 11 Now, that (K)no one is justified [h]by [i]the Law before God is evident; for, “[j](L)the righteous one will live by faith.” 12 [k]However, the Law is not [l]of faith; on the contrary, “(M)The person who performs [m]them will live by [n]them.” 13 Christ (N)redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written: “(O)Cursed is everyone who hangs on (P)a [o]tree”— 14 in order that (Q)in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we (R)would receive (S)the promise of the Spirit through faith.
