3 For (A)we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when (B)the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, (C)not because of works done by us in righteousness, but (D)according to his own mercy, by (E)the washing of regeneration and (F)renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he (G)poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that (H)being justified by his grace we might become (I)heirs (J)according to the hope of eternal life.

Galatians 3:8-14
English Standard Version
8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that (A)God would justify[a] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, (B)“In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
10 For all who rely on works of the law are (C)under a curse; for it is written, (D)“Cursed be everyone who does not (E)abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that (F)no one is justified before God by the law, for (G)“The righteous shall live by faith.”[b] 12 But the law is not of faith, rather (H)“The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ (I)redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, (J)“Cursed is everyone who is hanged (K)on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might (L)come to the Gentiles, so that (M)we might receive (N)the promised Spirit[c] through faith.

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.”[a](A) 9 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)

No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith (B)apart from works of the law. 29 Or (C)is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since (D)God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and (E)the uncircumcised through faith.
