Chapter 3 Faith or Observance of the Law 1You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.6Consider Abraham: “He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”3:6 Gen. 15:67Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham.8The 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.”3:8 Gen. 12:3; 18:18; 22:189So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. 10All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”3:10 Deut. 27:2611Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”3:11 Hab. 2:412The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”3:12 Lev. 18:513Christ 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 tree.”3:13 Deut. 21:2314He 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.
