⁷ Therefore, recognize that ^(A)it is those who are of faith who are ^(B)sons of Abraham. ⁸ The Scripture, foreseeing that God ^[a]would justify the ^[b]Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “^(C)All the nations will be blessed in you.” ⁹ So then, ^(D)those who are of faith are blessed with ^[c]Abraham, the believer.

²¹ Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? ^[a](A)Far from it! For ^(B)if a law had been given that was able to impart life, then righteousness ^[b]would indeed have been ^[c]based on law. ²² But the Scripture has ^(C)confined ^[d]everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

²³ But before faith came, ^[e]we were kept in custody under the Law, ^(D)being confined for the faith that was destined to be revealed. ²⁴ Therefore the Law has become our ^[f](E)guardian to lead us to Christ, so that ^(F)we may be justified by faith. ²⁵ But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a ^[g](G)guardian. ²⁶ For you are all ^(H)sons and daughters of God through faith in ^(I)Christ Jesus. ²⁷ For all of you who were ^(J)baptized into Christ have ^(K)clothed yourselves with Christ. ^28 (L)There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is ^[h]neither male nor female; for ^(M)you are all one in ^(N)Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And if ^(O)you ^[i]belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s ^[j]descendants, heirs according to ^(P)promise.
