Galatians:3:6-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Even as Abraham believed God ,
and it was accounted to him for righteousness .
*
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith ,
the same are the children of Abraham .
*
And the scripture ,
foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith ,
preached before the gospel unto Abraham ,
saying ,
In thee shall all nations be blessed .
*
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham .
*
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse :
for it is written ,
Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them .
*
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God ,
it is evident :
for ,
The just shall live by faith .
*
And the law is not of faith :
but ,
The man that doeth them shall live in them .
*
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law ,
being made a curse for us :
for it is written ,
Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree :
*
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith .
*
Brethren ,
I speak after the manner of men ;
Though it be but a man '
s covenant ,
yet if it be confirmed ,
no man disannulleth ,
or addeth thereto .
*
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made .
He saith not ,
And to seeds ,
as of many ;
but as of one ,
And to thy seed ,
which is Christ .
*
And this I say ,
that the covenant ,
that was confirmed before of God in Christ ,
the law ,
which was four hundred and thirty years after ,
cannot disannul ,
that it should make the promise of none effect .
*
For if the inheritance be of the law ,
it is no more of promise :
but God gave it to Abraham by promise .
