Galatians 3:6–18

⁶According as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him—to righteousness; ⁷know ye, then, that those of faith—these are sons of Abraham, ⁸and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham— ⁹‘Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;’ so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham, ¹⁰for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, ‘Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law—to do them,’ ¹¹and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because ‘The righteous by faith shall live;’ ¹²and the law is not by faith, but—‘The man who did them shall live in them.’ ¹³Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, ‘Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,’ ¹⁴that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith. ¹⁵Brethren, as a man I say it, even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to, ¹⁶and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, ‘And to seeds,’ as of many, but as of one, ‘And to thy seed,’ which is Christ; ¹⁷and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise, ¹⁸for if by law be the inheritance, it is no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant it.
