Galatians 3:26-29

Faith, Promise, and the Curse-Bearing Christ

Paul rebukes the Galatians for turning from Spirit-begun faith to law-centered completion, proves from Abraham and Scripture that blessing comes by faith, shows that Christ redeemed believers from the law's curse, and declares that all who belong to Christ are sons and heirs according to the promise.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
