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

Galatians 3:4-9
New International Version
4 Have you experienced[a] so much in vain—if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles(A) among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?(B) 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[b](C)
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith(D) are children of Abraham.(E) 8 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.”[c](F) 9 So those who rely on faith(G) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.(H)
