Mace(i)
6 As Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness:
7 so hence ye know, that it is they who believe who are the children of Abraham.
8 and the scripture insinuating, that God would justify the Gentiles thro' faith, gave Abraham an intimation of the gospel in these words, " in thee shall all nations be blessed."
9 so that it is they who believe, who are blessed with Abraham, who did believe.
10 but they that rest themselves upon the works of the law, are obnoxious to the curse: for it is written, " cursed is every one, who continueth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law, to do them:"
11 but that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, " the just shall live by faith."
12 now the law does not justify by FAITH, but says, "he that DOES these things shall live by them."
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us. (for it is written, " cursed is every one, that hangeth upon a tree.")
14 that the blessing promised to Abraham might come on the Gentiles thro' Jesus Christ; that we by believing might receive the spirit that was promised.
