Galatians 3:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 Just as (A)Abraham (B)believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. 7 Therefore, recognize that (C)it is those who are of faith who are (D)sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God [a]would justify the [b]Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “(E)All the nations will be blessed in you.” 9 So then, (F)those who are of faith are blessed with [c]Abraham, the believer.
