Galatians 2:20–3:9

²⁰“I have been ^acrucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but ^bChrist lives in me; and ¹the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in ^cthe Son of God, who ^dloved me and ^egave Himself up for me.

²¹“I do not nullify the grace of God, for ^aif righteousness comes through ¹the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”

Chapter 3

Faith Brings Righteousness

¹¹You foolish ^aGalatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ ^bwas publicly portrayed as crucified?

²This 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?

³Are you so foolish? Having begun ¹by the Spirit, are you now ²being perfected by the flesh?

⁴Did you ¹suffer so many things in vain—^aif indeed it was in vain?

⁵So 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?

⁶¹Even so ^aAbraham ^bbelieved God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

⁷Therefore, ¹be sure that ^ait is those who are of faith who are ^bsons of Abraham.

⁸The 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.”

⁹So then ^athose who are of faith are blessed with ¹Abraham, the believer.
