1
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?
2
This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3
Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?
4
Have you suffered so 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 "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
7
Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.
8
And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed."
9
So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
