This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of the report of faith?

He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, is it on the principle of works of law, or of the report of faith?

Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;

So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them;

Is then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

but if ye are of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.

But they that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
