And if children, also heirs—heirs of God and joint-heirs with Messiah—if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
I do not nullify the grace of God—for if righteousness comes through Torah, then Messiah died for no reason!
For all who rely on the deeds of Torah are under a curse—for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not keep doing everything written in the scroll of the Torah.”
However, Torah is not based on trust and faithfulness; on the contrary, “the one who does these things shall live by them.”
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It doesn’t say, “and to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “and to your seed,” who is the Messiah.
And if you belong to Messiah, then you are Abraham’s seed—heirs according to the promise.
