Galatians

Chapter 3

1 O FOOLISH Galatians, who has be witched you from your faith after Jesus Christ, crucified, has been pictured before your eyes?

2 This only I want to know from you, Did you receive the Spirit through the works of the law, or through obedience to faith?

3 Are you so foolish, after having begun with spiritual things to end now with things of the flesh?

4 Have you believed all these things at random? I hope that it is to no purpose.

5 He therefore who gives you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he do these things by the works of the law, or by obedience to faith?

6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness,

7 You must know therefore, that those who trust on faith are the children of Abraham.

8 Because God knew in advance that the Gentiles would be declared righteous through faith, he first preached to Abraham, as it is said in the Holy Scripture, In you shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

9 So then, it is the believers who are blessed through Abraham the faithful.

10 For those who rely on the works of the law are still under the curse: for as it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not practice everything which is written in the book of the law.

11 But that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, as it is written, The righteous shall live by faith.

12 Thus the law is not made by faith, but, Whosoever shall do the things which are written in it shall live in it.

13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, by becoming accursed for our sakes: for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a cross:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 My brethren, I speak as a man; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man can reject it or change anything in it.

16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his seed as a covenant. He did not say, To your seeds, as of many, but to your seed, as one, that is Christ.

17 And this I say, that the covenant which was previously confirmed of God in Christ cannot be repudiated and the promise nullified by the law which came four hundred and thirty years later.

18 For if the inheritance is by the law, then it would not be as the fulfillment of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 Then what is the use of the law? It was added because of transgression, till the coming of the heir to whom the promise was made; and the law was given by angels by the hand of a mediator;

20 Now a mediator does not represent one alone, but God is one.

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Far be it: for if a law had been given, which could have wrought salvation, righteousness would truly have come as the result of the law.

22 But the scripture has included everything under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

23 But before faith came, we were guided by the law, while we were waiting for the faith which was to be revealed.

24 The law then was our pathfinder to bring us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.

25 But since faith has come, we no longer are in need of the pathfinder.

26 For you are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ.

27 For those who have been baptized in the name of Christ have been clothed with Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Syrian, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Jesus Christ.

29 So if you belong to Christ, then you are descendants of Abraham, and his heirs according to the promise.

Galatians

Chapter 3

1 O foolish453 Galatians,1052 who5101 has bewitched940 you, that you should not obey3982 the truth,225 before2596 whose3739 eyes3788 Jesus2424 Christ5547 has been evidently4270 set4270 forth,4270 crucified4717 among1722 you?

2 This5124 only3440 would2309 I learn3129 of you, Received2983 you the Spirit4151 by the works2041 of the law,3551 or2228 by the hearing189 of faith?4102

3 Are you so3779 foolish?453 having begun1728 in the Spirit,4151 are you now3568 made2005 perfect2005 by the flesh?4561

4 Have2192 you suffered3958 so5118 many5118 things in vain?1500 if1489 it be yet2596 in vain.1500

5 He therefore3767 that ministers2023 to you the Spirit,4151 and works1754 miracles1411 among1722 you, does he it by the works2041 of the law,3551 or2228 by the hearing189 of faith?4102

6 Even2531 as Abraham11 believed4100 God,2316 and it was accounted3049 to him for righteousness.1343

7 Know1097 you therefore686 that they which are of faith,4102 the same3778 are the children5207 of Abraham.11

8 And the scripture,1124 foreseeing4275 that God2316 would justify1344 the heathen1484 through1537 faith,4102 preached4283 before4283 the gospel4283 to Abraham,11 saying, In you shall all3956 nations1484 be blessed.1757

9 So5620 then they which be of faith4102 are blessed2127 with faithful4103 Abraham.11

10 For as many3745 as are of the works2041 of the law3551 are under5259 the curse:2671 for it is written,1125 Cursed1944 is every3956 one that continues1696 not in all3956 things which3588 are written1125 in the book975 of the law3551 to do4160 them.

11 But that no3762 man3762 is justified1344 by the law3551 in the sight3844 of God,2316 it is evident:1212 for, The just1342 shall live2198 by faith.4102

12 And the law3551 is not of faith:4102 but, The man444 that does4160 them shall live2198 in them.

13 Christ5547 has redeemed1805 us from the curse2671 of the law,3551 being made1096 a curse2671 for us: for it is written,1125 Cursed1944 is every3956 one that hangs2910 on1909 a tree:3586

14 That the blessing2129 of Abraham11 might come1096 on1519 the Gentiles1484 through1722 Jesus2424 Christ;5547 that we might receive2983 the promise1860 of the Spirit4151 through1223 faith.4102

15 Brothers,80 I speak3004 after2596 the manner of men;444 Though3676 it be but a man's444 covenant,1242 yet if it be confirmed,2964 no3762 man3762 cancels,114 or2228 adds1928 thereto.1928

16 Now1161 to Abraham11 and his seed4690 were the promises1860 made.4483 He said3004 not, And to seeds,4690 as of many;4183 but as of one,1520 And to your seed,4690 which3739 is Christ.5547

17 And this5124 I say,3004 that the covenant,1242 that was confirmed4300 before4300 of God2316 in Christ,5547 the law,3551 which was four5071 hundred5071 and thirty5144 years2094 after,3326 cannot3756 cancel,208 that it should make2673 the promise1860 of none208 effect.2673

18 For if1487 the inheritance2817 be of the law,3551 it is no3765 more2089 of promise:1860 but God2316 gave5483 it to Abraham11 by promise.1860

19 Why5101 then3767 serves the law?3551 It was added4369 because5484 of transgressions,3847 till891 3757 the seed4690 should come2064 to whom3739 the promise1861 was made;1861 and it was ordained1299 by angels32 in the hand5495 of a mediator.3316

20 Now1161 a mediator3316 is not a mediator of one,1520 but God2316 is one.1520

21 Is the law3551 then3767 against2596 the promises1860 of God?2316 God3361 1096 forbid:3361 1096 for if1487 there had been a law3551 given1325 which3588 could1410 have2192 given2227 life,2227 truly3689 righteousness1343 should have been2258 by the law.3551

22 But the scripture1124 has concluded4788 all3956 under5259 sin,266 that the promise1860 by faith4102 of Jesus2424 Christ5547 might be given1325 to them that believe.4100

23 But before4253 faith4102 came,2064 we were kept5432 under5259 the law,3551 shut4788 up to the faith4102 which should3195 afterwards be revealed.601

24 Why5620 the law3551 was our schoolmaster3807 to bring us to Christ,5547 that we might be justified1344 by faith.4102

25 But after that faith4102 is come,2064 we are no3765 longer2089 under5259 a schoolmaster.3807

26 For you are all3956 the children5207 of God2316 by faith4102 in Christ5547 Jesus.2424

27 For as many3745 of you as have been baptized907 into1519 Christ5547 have put1746 on1746 Christ.5547

28 There is neither3756 Jew2453 nor3761 Greek,1672 there is neither3756 bond1401 nor3761 free,1658 there is neither3756 male730 nor3761 female:2338 for you are all3956 one1520 in Christ5547 Jesus.2424

29 And if1487 you be Christ's,5547 then686 are you Abraham's11 seed,4690 and heirs2818 according2596 to the promise.1860

Chapter 3

1 O FOOLISH Galatians, who has be witched you from your faith after Jesus Christ, crucified, has been pictured before your eyes?

1 O foolish453 Galatians,1052 who5101 has bewitched940 you, that you should not obey3982 the truth,225 before2596 whose3739 eyes3788 Jesus2424 Christ5547 has been evidently4270 set4270 forth,4270 crucified4717 among1722 you?

2 This only I want to know from you, Did you receive the Spirit through the works of the law, or through obedience to faith?

2 This5124 only3440 would2309 I learn3129 of you, Received2983 you the Spirit4151 by the works2041 of the law,3551 or2228 by the hearing189 of faith?4102

3 Are you so foolish, after having begun with spiritual things to end now with things of the flesh?

3 Are you so3779 foolish?453 having begun1728 in the Spirit,4151 are you now3568 made2005 perfect2005 by the flesh?4561

4 Have you believed all these things at random? I hope that it is to no purpose.

4 Have2192 you suffered3958 so5118 many5118 things in vain?1500 if1489 it be yet2596 in vain.1500

5 He therefore who gives you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he do these things by the works of the law, or by obedience to faith?

5 He therefore3767 that ministers2023 to you the Spirit,4151 and works1754 miracles1411 among1722 you, does he it by the works2041 of the law,3551 or2228 by the hearing189 of faith?4102

6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness,

6 Even2531 as Abraham11 believed4100 God,2316 and it was accounted3049 to him for righteousness.1343

7 You must know therefore, that those who trust on faith are the children of Abraham.

7 Know1097 you therefore686 that they which are of faith,4102 the same3778 are the children5207 of Abraham.11

8 Because God knew in advance that the Gentiles would be declared righteous through faith, he first preached to Abraham, as it is said in the Holy Scripture, In you shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

8 And the scripture,1124 foreseeing4275 that God2316 would justify1344 the heathen1484 through1537 faith,4102 preached4283 before4283 the gospel4283 to Abraham,11 saying, In you shall all3956 nations1484 be blessed.1757

9 So then, it is the believers who are blessed through Abraham the faithful.

9 So5620 then they which be of faith4102 are blessed2127 with faithful4103 Abraham.11

10 For those who rely on the works of the law are still under the curse: for as it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not practice everything which is written in the book of the law.

10 For as many3745 as are of the works2041 of the law3551 are under5259 the curse:2671 for it is written,1125 Cursed1944 is every3956 one that continues1696 not in all3956 things which3588 are written1125 in the book975 of the law3551 to do4160 them.

11 But that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, as it is written, The righteous shall live by faith.

11 But that no3762 man3762 is justified1344 by the law3551 in the sight3844 of God,2316 it is evident:1212 for, The just1342 shall live2198 by faith.4102

12 Thus the law is not made by faith, but, Whosoever shall do the things which are written in it shall live in it.

12 And the law3551 is not of faith:4102 but, The man444 that does4160 them shall live2198 in them.

13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, by becoming accursed for our sakes: for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a cross:

13 Christ5547 has redeemed1805 us from the curse2671 of the law,3551 being made1096 a curse2671 for us: for it is written,1125 Cursed1944 is every3956 one that hangs2910 on1909 a tree:3586

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

14 That the blessing2129 of Abraham11 might come1096 on1519 the Gentiles1484 through1722 Jesus2424 Christ;5547 that we might receive2983 the promise1860 of the Spirit4151 through1223 faith.4102

15 My brethren, I speak as a man; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man can reject it or change anything in it.

15 Brothers,80 I speak3004 after2596 the manner of men;444 Though3676 it be but a man's444 covenant,1242 yet if it be confirmed,2964 no3762 man3762 cancels,114 or2228 adds1928 thereto.1928

16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his seed as a covenant. He did not say, To your seeds, as of many, but to your seed, as one, that is Christ.

16 Now1161 to Abraham11 and his seed4690 were the promises1860 made.4483 He said3004 not, And to seeds,4690 as of many;4183 but as of one,1520 And to your seed,4690 which3739 is Christ.5547

17 And this I say, that the covenant which was previously confirmed of God in Christ cannot be repudiated and the promise nullified by the law which came four hundred and thirty years later.

17 And this5124 I say,3004 that the covenant,1242 that was confirmed4300 before4300 of God2316 in Christ,5547 the law,3551 which was four5071 hundred5071 and thirty5144 years2094 after,3326 cannot3756 cancel,208 that it should make2673 the promise1860 of none208 effect.2673

18 For if the inheritance is by the law, then it would not be as the fulfillment of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

18 For if1487 the inheritance2817 be of the law,3551 it is no3765 more2089 of promise:1860 but God2316 gave5483 it to Abraham11 by promise.1860

19 Then what is the use of the law? It was added because of transgression, till the coming of the heir to whom the promise was made; and the law was given by angels by the hand of a mediator;

19 Why5101 then3767 serves the law?3551 It was added4369 because5484 of transgressions,3847 till891 3757 the seed4690 should come2064 to whom3739 the promise1861 was made;1861 and it was ordained1299 by angels32 in the hand5495 of a mediator.3316

20 Now a mediator does not represent one alone, but God is one.

20 Now1161 a mediator3316 is not a mediator of one,1520 but God2316 is one.1520

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Far be it: for if a law had been given, which could have wrought salvation, righteousness would truly have come as the result of the law.

21 Is the law3551 then3767 against2596 the promises1860 of God?2316 God3361 1096 forbid:3361 1096 for if1487 there had been a law3551 given1325 which3588 could1410 have2192 given2227 life,2227 truly3689 righteousness1343 should have been2258 by the law.3551

22 But the scripture has included everything under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

22 But the scripture1124 has concluded4788 all3956 under5259 sin,266 that the promise1860 by faith4102 of Jesus2424 Christ5547 might be given1325 to them that believe.4100

23 But before faith came, we were guided by the law, while we were waiting for the faith which was to be revealed.

23 But before4253 faith4102 came,2064 we were kept5432 under5259 the law,3551 shut4788 up to the faith4102 which should3195 afterwards be revealed.601

24 The law then was our pathfinder to bring us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.

24 Why5620 the law3551 was our schoolmaster3807 to bring us to Christ,5547 that we might be justified1344 by faith.4102

25 But since faith has come, we no longer are in need of the pathfinder.

25 But after that faith4102 is come,2064 we are no3765 longer2089 under5259 a schoolmaster.3807

26 For you are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ.

26 For you are all3956 the children5207 of God2316 by faith4102 in Christ5547 Jesus.2424

27 For those who have been baptized in the name of Christ have been clothed with Christ.

27 For as many3745 of you as have been baptized907 into1519 Christ5547 have put1746 on1746 Christ.5547

28 There is neither Jew nor Syrian, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Jesus Christ.

28 There is neither3756 Jew2453 nor3761 Greek,1672 there is neither3756 bond1401 nor3761 free,1658 there is neither3756 male730 nor3761 female:2338 for you are all3956 one1520 in Christ5547 Jesus.2424

29 So if you belong to Christ, then you are descendants of Abraham, and his heirs according to the promise.

29 And if1487 you be Christ's,5547 then686 are you Abraham's11 seed,4690 and heirs2818 according2596 to the promise.1860
