5. Therefore, does he who distributes the Spirit to you, and who works miracles among you, act by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?
6. It is just as it was written: "Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice."
7. Therefore, know that those who are of faith, these are the sons of Abraham.
8. Thus Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold to Abraham: "All nations shall be blessed in you."
9. And so, those who are of faith shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
10. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it has been written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things that have been written in the book of the Law, so as to do them."
11. And, since in the law no one is justified with God, this is manifest: "For the just man lives by faith."
12. But the law is not of faith; instead, "he who does these things shall live by them."
13. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, since he became a curse for us. For it is written: "Cursed is anyone who hangs from a tree."
14. This was so that the blessing of Abraham might reach the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, in order that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15. Brothers (I speak according to man), if a man's testament has been confirmed, no one would reject it or add to it.
16. The promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. He did not say, "and to descendents," as if to many, but instead, as if to one, he said, "and to your offspring," who is Christ.
