God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, " Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by P Hab. 2. 4. faith. r Rom. 1. 17.
