Galatians 3:6–18

⁶As it is written: Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice.

⁷Know ye, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

⁸And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.

⁹Therefore, they that are of faith shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.

¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one that abideth, not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

¹¹But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.

¹²But the law is not of faith: but he that doth those things shall live in them.

¹³Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree).

¹⁴That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

¹⁵Brethren (I speak after the manner of man), yet a man’s testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth nor addeth to it.

¹⁶To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not: And to his seeds as of many. But as of one: And to thy seed, which is Christ.

¹⁷Now this I say: that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.

¹⁸For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
