interesting verse, can you show me, what letter is from and what chapter, like Romans, or chorinthians?
forgive me, I thought I did, my mistake and thank you for asking.
It is Galatians 3:
[h=1]Galatians 3 New King James Version (NKJV)[/h] [h=3]Justification by Faith[/h]3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth,[SUP][
a][/SUP] before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you[SUP][
b][/SUP] as crucified? [SUP]2 [/SUP]This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? [SUP]3 [/SUP]Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? [SUP]4 [/SUP]Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed
it was in vain?
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you,
does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— [SUP]6 [/SUP]just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[SUP][
c][/SUP] [SUP]7 [/SUP]Therefore know that
only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. [SUP]8 [/SUP]And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand,
saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.”[SUP][
d][/SUP] [SUP]9 [/SUP]So then those who
are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
[h=3]The Law Brings a Curse[/h][SUP]10 [/SUP]For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed
is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”[SUP][
e][/SUP] [SUP]11 [/SUP]But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God
is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”[SUP][
f][/SUP] [SUP]12 [/SUP]Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”[SUP][
g][/SUP]
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed
is everyone who hangs on a tree”[SUP][
h][/SUP]), [SUP]14 [/SUP]that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
[h=3]The Changeless Promise[/h][SUP]15 [/SUP]Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though
it is only a man’s covenant, yet
if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,”[SUP][
i][/SUP] who is Christ. [SUP]17 [/SUP]And this I say,
that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ,[SUP][
j][/SUP] that it should make the promise of no effect. [SUP]18 [/SUP]For if the inheritance
is of the law,
it is no longer of promise; but God gave
it to Abraham by promise.
[h=3]Purpose of the Law[/h][SUP]19 [/SUP]What purpose then
does the law
serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made;
and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. [SUP]20 [/SUP]Now a mediator does not
mediate for one
only, but God is one.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]
Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. [SUP]22 [/SUP]But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. [SUP]23 [/SUP]But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. [SUP]24 [/SUP]Therefore the law was our tutor
to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [SUP]25 [/SUP]But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
[h=3]Sons and Heirs[/h][SUP]26 [/SUP]For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. [SUP]27 [/SUP]For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [SUP]28 [/SUP]There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. [SUP]29 [/SUP]And if you
are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
