King James Bible
"Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham."
Paul issues a commanding conclusion based on his preceding argument about Abraham's justification by faith. The imperative tone demands the Galatians recognize this truth as foundational to understanding their identity in Christ. This phrase identifies believers not by ethnic descent or law-keeping but by their trust in God's promises. Paul emphasizes faith as the defining characteristic that creates spiritual kinship, directly challenging Judaizers who insisted on circumcision. True descendants of Abraham share his spiritual DNA of faith rather than physical lineage. This revolutionary claim opens the Abrahamic covenant to Gentiles, fulfilling God's promise that Abraham would be father of many nations.
