3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another.(A) 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,(B) 5 he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water[a] of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.(C) 6 This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.(D)

Galatians 3:8-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 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) 9 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)

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)

16 yet we know that a person is justified[a] not by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ.[b] And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ[c] and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law.(A) 17 But if, in our effort to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have been found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!

God’s Love in Christ Jesus
31 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?(B) 32 He who did not withhold his own Son but gave him up for all of us, how will he not with him also give us everything else? 33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.(C) 34 Who is to condemn? It is Christ[a] who died, or rather, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.(D)
