1. You stupid Galatians! I told you exactly how Jesus Christ was nailed to a cross. Has someone now put an evil spell on you?
2. I want to know only one thing. How were you given God's Spirit? Was it by obeying the Law of Moses or by hearing about Christ and having faith in him?
3. How can you be so stupid? Do you think that by yourself you can complete what God's Spirit started in you?
4. Have you gone through all this for nothing? Is it all really for nothing?
5. God gives you his Spirit and works miracles in you. But does he do this because you obey the Law of Moses or because you have heard about Christ and have faith in him?
6. The Scriptures say that God accepted Abraham because Abraham had faith.
7. And so, you should understand that everyone who has faith is a child of Abraham.
8. Long ago the Scriptures said that God would accept the Gentiles because of their faith. That's why God told Abraham the good news that all nations would be blessed because of him.
