Galatians 3:8-10
New English Translation
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time,[a] saying, “All the nations[b] will be blessed in you.”[c] 9 So then those who believe[d] are blessed along with Abraham the believer. 10 For all who[e] rely on doing the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law.”[f]
