Galatians 3 — Context

5

He who gives you the Spirit, and does works of power among you, is it by the works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

6

Even as Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

7

Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

8

And the holy Writings, seeing before the event that God would give the Gentiles righteousness by faith, gave the good news before to Abraham, saying, In you will all the nations have a blessing.

9

So then those who are of faith have a part in the blessing of Abraham who was full of faith.

10

For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law.

11

Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.
