If Abraham was justified[a] by works,(A) he has something to boast about—but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness.[b](B) Now to the one who works,(C) pay is not credited as a gift, but as something owed. But to the one who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly,(D) his faith is credited for righteousness.

If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.(A) What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a](B)

Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift(C) but as an obligation. However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.(D)

just like Abraham who believed God,(A) and it was credited to him for righteousness?[a](B)

You know, then, that those who have faith, these are Abraham’s sons.(C) Now the Scripture saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and proclaimed the gospel ahead of time to Abraham,(D) saying, All the nations[b] will be blessed through you.[c](E) Consequently, those who have faith are blessed with Abraham,(F) who had faith.[d]

Law and Promise

10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse,(G) because it is written,(H) Everyone who does not do everything written in the book of the law is cursed.[e](I) 11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live(J) by faith.[f](K) 12 But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.[g](L) 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us,(M) because it is written, Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.[h](N) 14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles by Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promised Spirit through faith.(O)

So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a](A)

Understand, then, that those who have faith(B) are children of Abraham.(C) 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) So those who rely on faith(E) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.(F)

10 For all who rely on the works of the law(G) are under a curse,(H) as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[c](I) 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God,(J) because “the righteous will live by faith.”[d](K) 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”[e](L) 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law(M) by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[f](N) 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,(O) so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.(P)
