Galatians 3:8
Compare all
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.”  
9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

The Law Brings a Curse

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, a“Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”  
11 But that no one is1 justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for a“the just shall live by faith.”  
12 Yet athe law is not of faith, but b“the man who does them shall live by them.”  
13 aChrist has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, b“Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 
14 athat the blessing of Abraham might come upon the bGentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive cthe promise of the Spirit through faith.  

The Changeless Promise

15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: aThough it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.  
16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of aone, b“And to your Seed,” who is cChrist.  
17 And this I say, that the law, awhich was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God1 in Christ, bthat it should make the promise of no effect.
