6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a](A)
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith(B) are children of Abraham.(C) 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.”[b](D) 9 So those who rely on faith(E) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.(F)

Galatians 3:6-9
International Standard Version
6 In the same way, Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a]
7 You see, then, that those who have faith are Abraham’s real descendants. 8 Because the Scripture saw ahead of time that God would justify the gentiles[b] by faith, it announced the gospel to Abraham beforehand when it said, “Through you all nations[c] will be blessed.”[d] 9 Therefore, those who believe are blessed together with Abraham, the one who believed.
