Galatians 2:20–3:9

²⁰I have been ^hcrucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh ⁱI live by faith in the Son of God, ^jwho loved me and gave Himself for me. ²¹I do not set aside the grace of God; for ^kif righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died ¹in vain.”

Justification by Faith

3O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you ¹that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed ²among you as crucified? ²This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, ^aor by the hearing of faith?—³Are you so foolish? ^bHaving begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by ^cthe flesh? ^4dHave you suffered so ³many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

⁵Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? ⁶just as Abraham ^e“believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” ⁷Therefore know that only ^fthose who are of faith are sons of Abraham. ⁸And ^gthe Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, ^h“In you all the nations shall be blessed.” ⁹So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
