Justification by Faith
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you1 that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed2 among you as crucified?
2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, aor by the hearing of faith?
3 Are you so foolish? aHaving begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by bthe flesh?
4 aHave you suffered so1 many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
5 Therefore 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?—
6 just as Abraham a“believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
7 Therefore know that only athose who are of faith are sons of Abraham.
8 And athe Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, b“In you all the nations shall be blessed.”
