Galatians 3:6-14

Moffatt(i) 6 Why, it is as with Abraham, he had faith in God and that was counted to him as righteousness. 7 Well then, you see that the real sons of Abraham are those who rely on faith. 8 Besides, Scripture anticipated God's justification of the Gentiles by faith when it announced the gospel beforehand to Abraham in these terms: All nations shall be blessed in thee. 9 So that those who rely on faith are blessed along with believing Abraham. 10 Whereas a curse rests on all who rely upon obedience to the Law; for it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not hold by all that is written in the book of the law, to perform it. 11 And because no one is justified on the score of the Law before God (plainly, the just shall live by faith, — 12 and the Law is not based on faith: no, he who performs these things shall live by them), 13 Christ ransomed us from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a gibbet), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might reach the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promised Spirit.
