Gal 1:4           who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

 Gal 1:9          As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!

 Gal 1:11         I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up.

 Gal 2:16         know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.

 Gal 2:20         I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

 Gal 3:6          Consider Abraham: “He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

 Gal 3:10         All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

 Gal 3:11         Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”

 Gal 3:22         But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

 Gal 3:24         So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.

 Gal 3:26         You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,

 Gal 4:4-5       But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.

 Gal 4:28         Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

 Gal 5:1          It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

 Gal 5:7          You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?

 Gal 5:13         You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.

 Gal 5:14         The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

 Gal 5:16         So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

 Gal 5:24-25    Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

 Gal 6:8          The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
