Galatians 3:9-14
New International Version
9 So those who rely on faith(A) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.(B)
10 For all who rely on the works of the law(C) are under a curse,(D) as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[a](E) 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God,(F) because “the righteous will live by faith.”[b](G) 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”[c](H) 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law(I) by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[d](J) 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,(K) so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.(L)

8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance,(A) obeyed and went,(B) even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land(C) like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents,(D) as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.(E) 10 For he was looking forward to the city(F) with foundations,(G) whose architect and builder is God.(H) 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age,(I) was enabled to bear children(J) because she[a] considered him faithful(K) who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead,(L) came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.(M)

Abraham Justified by Faith
4 What then shall we say(A) that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh,(B) discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.(C) 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a](D)
4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift(E) but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.(F)
