“That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. — the logic telescopes: Christ's redemption from the law's curse enables the flow of Abraham's blessing ('eulogia') to Gentiles ('ethne'), accessed through faith, culminating in Spirit-reception ('pneuma'); the promise (Gen 12:3) is pneumatic, eschatological blessing.
