Goodspeed(i)
6 Just as Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him as uprightness.
7 So you see, the real descendants of Abraham are the men of faith.
8 The Scripture foresaw that God would accept the heathen as upright in consequence of their faith, and preached the good news in advance to Abraham in the words, "All the heathen will be blessed through you."
9 So the men of faith share the blessing of Abraham and his faith.
10 For there is a curse upon all who rely on obedience to the Law, for the Scripture says, "Cursed be anyone who does not stand by everything that is written in the Book of the Law and obey it."
11 That no one is accepted as upright by God for obeying the Law is evident because the upright will have life because of his faith,
12 and the Law has nothing to do with faith; it teaches that it is the man who does these things that will find life by doing them.
13 Christ ransomed us from the Law's curse by taking our curse upon himself (for the Scripture says, "Cursed be anyone who is hung on a tree")
14 in order that the blessing given to Abraham might through Jesus Christ reach the heathen, so that through faith we might receive the promised Spirit.
