New American Standard Bible 1995

Galatians 3:2-7

2This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of 1the Law, or by 2 3hearing with faith? 3Are you so foolish? Having begun 4by the Spirit, are you now 5being perfected by the flesh? 4Did you 6suffer so many things in vain--7if indeed it was in vain? 5So then, does He who 8provides you with the Spirit and 9works 10miracles among you, do it by the works of 11the Law, or by 12 13hearing with faith?

6 14Even so 15Abraham 16believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 7Therefore, 17be sure that 18it is those who are of faith who are 19sons of Abraham.
