Galatians 3:6-9
New Living Translation
6 In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”[a] 7 The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.
8 What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith.

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.
