Galatians

Galatians 3:6–8

⁶So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”^a ⁷Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham. ⁸The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”^b
