Galatians 3:8 in Context — Galatians 3

6 Comme Abraham crut à Dieu, et que cela lui fut imputé à justice,

7 reconnaissez donc que ce sont ceux qui ont la foi qui sont fils d’Abraham.

8 Aussi l’Écriture, prévoyant que Dieu justifierait les païens par la foi, a d’avance annoncé cette bonne nouvelle à Abraham: Toutes les nations seront bénies en toi!

9 de sorte que ceux qui croient sont bénis avec Abraham le croyant.

10 Car tous ceux qui s’attachent aux œuvres de la loi sont sous la malédiction; car il est écrit: Maudit est quiconque n’observe pas tout ce qui est écrit dans le livre de la loi, et ne le met pas en pratique.
