3Are you so foolish? having made a start in the Spirit, will you now be made complete in the flesh?
4Did you undergo such a number of things to no purpose? if it is in fact to no purpose.
5He who gives you the Spirit, and does works of power among you, is it by the works of law, or by the hearing of faith?
6Even as Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
7Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.
8And the holy Writings, seeing before the event that God would give the Gentiles righteousness by faith, gave the good news before to Abraham, saying, In you will all the nations have a blessing.
9So then those who are of faith have a part in the blessing of Abraham who was full of faith.
