New American Standard Bible 1995

Galatians 3:4-9

4Did you 1suffer so many things in vain--2if indeed it was in vain? 5So then, does He who 3provides you with the Spirit and 4works 5miracles among you, do it by the works of 6the Law, or by 7 8hearing with faith?

6 9Even so 10Abraham 11believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 7Therefore, 12be sure that 13it is those who are of faith who are 14sons of Abraham. 8The Scripture, foreseeing that God 15would justify the 16Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “17All the nations will be blessed in you.” 9So then 18those who are of faith are blessed with 19Abraham, the believer.
