3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now trying to be made complete by the flesh?
4 Have you suffered so many things for nothing—if indeed also it was for nothing?
5 Therefore does the one who gives you the Spirit and who works miracles among you do so by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,
7 then understand that the ones who have faith, these are sons of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news in advance to Abraham: “In you all the nations will be blessed.”
9 So then, the ones who have faith are blessed together with Abraham who believed.
