But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness.

Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.

so then, understand that those who believe are the sons of Abraham.

So then those who believe are blessed along with Abraham the believer.

Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.

They were only hearing, “The one who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the good news of the faith he once tried to destroy.”

The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law or by believing what you heard?

Does God then give you the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law or by your believing what you heard?

Now it is clear no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous one will live by faith.

But the law is not based on faith, but the one who does the works of the law will live by them.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight – the only thing that matters is faith working through love.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.”

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

But the scripture imprisoned everything and everyone under sin so that the promise could be given – because of the faithfulness of Jesus Christ – to those who believe.

yet we know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by the faithfulness of Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
