Galatians 3:6-14
So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”3:6 Gen. 15:6
Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”3:8 Gen. 12:3; 18:18; 22:18 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”3:10 Deut. 27:26 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”3:11 Hab. 2:4 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”3:12 Lev. 18:5 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”3:13 Deut. 21:23 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
