Galatians 3:1–9
1 1You foolish aGalatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ bwas publicly portrayed as crucified?
2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of 1the Law, or by 2ahearing with faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun 1by the Spirit, are you now 2being perfected by the flesh?
4 Did you 1suffer so many things in vain—aif indeed it was in vain?
5 So then, does He who aprovides you with the Spirit and bworks 1miracles among you, do it by the works of 2the Law, or by 3chearing with faith?
6 1Even so aAbraham bbelieved God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
7 Therefore, 1be sure that ait is those who are of faith who are bsons of Abraham.
8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God 1would justify the 2Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “aAll the nations will be blessed in you.”
9 So then athose who are of faith are blessed with 1Abraham, the believer.
