If

For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law.

I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.

For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

But

Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.

O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.

Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.

His help he has given to Israel, his servant, so that he might keep in mind his mercy to Abraham and his seed for ever,

So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.
