Galatians 3:8-12

8The ScriptureG1124, foreseeingG4275 that GodG2316 1would justifyG1344 the 2GentilesG1484 by faithG4102, preachedG4283 the gospelG4283 beforehandG4283 to AbrahamG11, saying, “3AllG3956 the nationsG1484 will be blessedG1757 in you.” 9SoG5620 thenG5620, 4thoseG3588 who are of faithG4102 are blessedG2127 with 5AbrahamG11, the believerG4103.

10For allG3745 whoG3745 are of worksG2041 of 6the LawG3551 are underG5259 a curseG2671; for it is writtenG1125: “7CursedG1944 is everyoneG3956 whoG3739 does not abideG1696 byG1696 allG3956 the thingsG3956 writtenG1125 in the bookG975 of the LawG3551, to doG4160 them.” 11NowG1161, that 8noG3762 oneG3762 is justifiedG1344 9by 10the LawG3551 beforeG3844 GodG2316 is evidentG1212; for, “1112the righteousG1342 one will liveG2198 by faithG4102.” 1213HoweverG1161, the LawG3551 is not 14of faithG4102; on the contraryG235, “15The person who performsG4160 16them will liveG2198 by 17them.”
