O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified? |
2
|
This only would I learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
3
|
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh? |
4
|
Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain. |
5
|
He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, {cf15i doeth he it} by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
6
|
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. |
7
|
Know therefore that they which be of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. |
8
|
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, {cf15i saying}, In thee shall all the nations be blessed. |
9
|
So then they which be of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. |
10
|
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one which continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them. |
11
|
Now that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; |
12
|
and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them. |
13
|
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: |
14
|
that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. |
15
|
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: Though it be but a man-s covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto. |
16
|
Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. |
17
|
Now this I say; A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect. |
18
|
For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise. |
19
|
What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; {cf15i and it was} ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. |
20
|
Now a mediator is not {cf15i a mediator} of one; but God is one. |
21
|
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law. |
22
|
Howbeit the scripture hath shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. |
23
|
But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. |
24
|
So that the law hath been our tutor {cf15i to bring us} unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. |
25
|
But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor. |
26
|
For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. |
27
|
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. |
28
|
There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female: for ye all are one {cf15i man} in Christ Jesus. |
29
|
And if ye are Christ-s, then are ye Abraham-s seed, heirs according to promise. |
