Galatians 3:9

Abraham
FaithIdentity and self-worth

7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.

8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”

So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

10 All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
