* O foolish Galatians , who bewitched you not to obey the truth , to whom before your eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed among you , crucified ? * This only I desire to learn from you : Did you receive the Spirit by works of law or by hearing of faith ? * Are you so foolish ? Having begun in the Spirit , do you now perfect yourself in the flesh ? * Did you suffer so much vainly , if indeed it also was vainly ? * Then He supplying the Spirit to you and working works of power in you , is it by works of law or by hearing of faith ? * Even "as Abraham believed God , and it was counted to him for righteousness ." Gen strkjv @15:6 * Know , then , that those of faith , these are sons of Abraham . * And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith , preached the gospel before to Abraham : "All the nations will be blessed " "in you ." Genesis . strkjv @12:3 * So that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham . * For as many as are out of works of law , these are under a curse . For it has been written , "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things having been written in the book of the Law , to do them ." Deuteronomy . strkjv @27:26 * And that no one is justified by law before God is clear because , "The just shall live by faith ." Habakkuk . strkjv @2:4 * But the Law is not of faith , but , "The man doing these things shall live in them ." Leviticus . strkjv @18:5 * Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law , having become a curse for us ; for it has been written , "Cursed is everyone having been hung on a tree ;" Deuteronomy . strkjv @21:23 * that the blessing of Abraham might be to the nations in Christ Jesus , that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . * Brothers , I speak according to man , a covenant having been ratified , even among mankind , no one sets aside or adds to it . * But the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his Seed (it does not say , And to seeds , as of many , but as of one , "And to your Seed ," which is Christ ). Genesis . strkjv @12:7 , strkjv @13:15 ; strkjv @17:7 , 8 ; strkjv @24:7 * And I say this , A covenant having been ratified before to Christ by God , the Law coming into being four hundred and thirty years after , does not annul the promise , so as to abolish it . * For if the inheritance is of law , it is no more of promise ; but God has given it to Abraham through promise . * Why the Law then ? It was added because of transgressions , until the Seed should come , to whom it had been promised , being ordained through angels in a mediator 's hand . * But the Mediator is not of one , but God is one . * Then is the Law against the promises of God ? Let it not be ! For if a law had been given which had been able to make alive , indeed righteousness would have been out of law . * But the Scripture locked up all under sin , that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to the ones believing . * But before the coming of faith , we were guarded under law , having been locked up to the faith being about to be revealed . * So that the Law has become a trainer of us until Christ , that we might be justified by faith . * But faith coming , we are no longer under a trainer ; * for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus . * For as many as were baptized into Christ , you put on Christ . * There cannot be Jew nor Greek , there is no slave nor freeman , there is no male and female ; for you are all one in Christ Jesus . * And if you are of Christ , then you are a seed of Abraham , even heirs according to promise .
