6 Thus Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 Realize then that it is those who have faith who are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture, which saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold the good news to Abraham, saying, “Through you shall all the nations be blessed.”
9 Consequently, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham who had faith.
10 For
all who depend on works of the law are under a curse; for it is
written, “Cursed be everyone who does not persevere in doing all the
things written in the book of the law.” 11 And that no one is justified before God by the law is clear, for “the one who is righteous by faith will live.” 12 But the law does not depend on faith; rather, “the one who does these things will live by them.” 13 Christ
ransomed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for
it is written, “Cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree,” 14 that
the blessing of Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through
Christ Jesus,
so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through
faith.
