Galatians 3:8-16

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.” 13ChristG5547 18redeemedG1805 us from the curseG2671 of the LawG3551, having becomeG1096 a curseG2671 for us--for it is writtenG1125: “19CursedG1944 is everyoneG3956 who hangsG2910 on 20a 21treeG3586”-- 14inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 22in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 would comeG1096 to the GentilesG1484, soG2443 thatG2443 we 23would receiveG2983 24the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.

1525BrothersG80 and sisters, 26I speakG3004 27in termsG2596 of humanG444 relationsG444: 28evenG3676 thoughG3676 it is only a man’sG444 29covenantG1242, yetG3676 when it has been ratifiedG2964, noG3762 oneG3762 setsG114 it asideG114 orG2228 addsG1928 30conditionsG1928 to it. 16NowG1161 the promisesG1860 were spokenG3004 31to AbrahamG11 and to his seedG4690. He does not sayG3004, “And to seedsG4690,” as one would in referring to manyG4183, but rather as in referring to oneG1520, “32And to your seedG4690,” that is, ChristG5547.
