Galatians 3:3-9
English Standard Version
3 Are you so foolish? (A)Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by[a] the flesh? 4 (B)Did you suffer[b] so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and (C)works miracles among you do so (D)by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— 6 just as (E)Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?
7 Know then that it is (F)those of faith who are (G)the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that (H)God would justify[c] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, (I)“In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
