So then they who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse;

For as many as are under the deeds of the law, are under malediction. For it is written, "Cursed is every man that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to fulfil them."

To Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, "in the seeds," as in many: But, "in thy seed," as in one, which is Christ.

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

For it is written, "Rejoice thou barren, that bearest no children: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not. For the desolate hath many more children, than she which hath a husband."

Ye are gone quite from Christ as many as are justified by the law, and are fallen from grace.

Ye see in how many words I have written unto you with my own hand.

As many as desire with outward appearance to please carnally, they constrain you to be circumcised, only because they would not suffer persecution with the cross of Christ.

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon Israel that pertaineth to God.
