Galatians 3:1-14

11You foolish 2Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ 3was publicly portrayed as crucified? 2This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of 4the Law, or by 56hearing with faith? 3Are you so foolish? Having begun 7by the Spirit, are you now 8being perfected by the flesh? 4Did you 9suffer so many things in vain--10if indeed it was in vain? 5So then, does He who 11provides you with the Spirit and 12works 13miracles among you, do it by the works of 14the Law, or by 1516hearing with faith?

617Even so 18Abraham 19believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 7Therefore, 20be sure that 21it is those who are of faith who are 22sons of Abraham. 8The Scripture, foreseeing that God 23would justify the 24Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “25All the nations will be blessed in you.” 9So then 26those who are of faith are blessed with 27Abraham, the believer.

10For as many as are of the works of 28the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “29Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.” 11Now that 30no one is justified 31by 32the Law before God is evident; for, “3334The righteous man shall live by faith.” 1235However, the Law is not 36of faith; on the contrary, “37He who practices them shall live 38by them.” 13Christ 39redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, “40Cursed is everyone who hangs on 41a 42tree”-- 14in order that 43in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might 44come to the Gentiles, so that we 45would receive 46the promise of the Spirit through faith.
