If

For all who rely on doing the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law."

I do not set aside God's grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not fulfilled through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ) -- if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.

But

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. Scripture does not say, "and to the descendants," referring to many, but "and to your descendant," referring to one, who is Christ.

O children of Abraham, God's servant, you descendants of Jacob, God's chosen ones!

There is no other God like you! You forgive sin and pardon the rebellion of those who remain among your people. You do not remain angry forever, but delight in showing loyal love.

He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,

so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.

He did not make this covenant with our ancestors but with us, we who are here today, all of us living now.
