⁷ so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.^(A)

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)

²⁴ Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be reckoned as righteous^[a] by faith.^(A)

⁹ not the result of works, so that no one may boast.
