3:6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 3:7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 3:8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 3:9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 3:11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” 3:12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” 3:14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
