Galatians 3:5-14

5So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?

6So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Gen. 15:6 7Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” Gen. 12:3; 18:18; 22:18

9So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. 10For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Deut. 27:26 11Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” Hab. 2:4 12The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” Lev. 18:5 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” Deut. 21:23

14He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
