Are you so foolish? (A)Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by[a] the flesh? (B)Did you suffer[b] so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 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— just as (E)Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

Know then that it is (F)those of faith who are (G)the sons of Abraham. 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.” So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
