Galatians 3:2-10

2The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law or by believing what you heard?

3Are you so foolish? Although you began with the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by human effort?

4Have you suffered so many things for nothing? – if indeed it was for nothing.

5Does God then give you the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law or by your believing what you heard?

6Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,

7so then, understand that those who believe are the sons of Abraham.

8And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.”

9So then those who believe are blessed along with Abraham the believer.

10For all who rely on doing the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law.”
