Galatians 3:4-14

English Standard Version

^4 (A)Did you suffer^[a] so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? ⁵ Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and ^(B)works miracles among you do so ^(C)by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— ⁶ just as ^(D)Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

⁷ Know then that it is ^(E)those of faith who are ^(F)the sons of Abraham. ⁸ And the Scripture, foreseeing that ^(G)God would justify^[b] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, ^(H)“In you shall all the nations be blessed.” ⁹ So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

¹⁰ For all who rely on works of the law are ^(I)under a curse; for it is written, ^(J)“Cursed be everyone who does not ^(K)abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” ¹¹ Now it is evident that ^(L)no one is justified before God by the law, for ^(M)“The righteous shall live by faith.”^{[c] 12} But the law is not of faith, rather ^(N)“The one who does them shall live by them.” ¹³ Christ ^(O)redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, ^(P)“Cursed is everyone who is hanged ^(Q)on a tree”— ¹⁴ so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might ^(R)come to the Gentiles, so that ^(S)we might receive ^(T)the promised Spirit^[d] through faith.
