And the scripture, foreseeing that God would reckon as righteous the gentiles by faith, declared the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the gentiles shall be blessed in you.”(A) For this reason, those who believe are blessed with Abraham who believed.

10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the things written in the book of the law.”(B) 11 Now it is evident that no one is reckoned as righteous before God by the law, for “the one who is righteous will live by faith.”[a](C) 12 But the law does not rest on faith; on the contrary, “Whoever does the works of the law[b] will live by them.”(D) 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”(E) 14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.(F)

  2. 3.12 Gk does them

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.”[a](A) So those who rely on faith(B) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.(C)

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