- You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
- I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard?
- Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?
- Have you suffered so much for nothing--if it really was for nothing?
- Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?

- Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
- Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham.
- The 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."
- So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
- All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."
|
- Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith."
- The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them."
- 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 tree."
- 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.
