Galatians 3:4

Read in context

Galatians 3:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

3 Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?

4 Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?

5 Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?

6 So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
