Galatians 3:2-10

2This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by works of 1the Law, or by 2hearing 3with 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 works of 11the Law, or by 12hearing 13with faith?

6Just as 14Abraham 15believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. 7Therefore, recognize that 16it is those who are of faith who are 17sons of Abraham. 8The Scripture, foreseeing that God 18would justify the 19Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “20All the nations will be blessed in you.” 9So then, 21those who are of faith are blessed with 22Abraham, the believer.

10For all who are of works of 23the Law are under a curse; for it is written: “24Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things written in the book of the Law, to do them.”
