1O[G5599]foolish[G453]Galatians[G1052], who[G5101] hath bewitched[G940]you[G5209], that ye should[G3982]not[G3361]obey[G3982] the truth[G225], before[G2596]whose[G3739]eyes[G3788]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547] hath been evidently set forth[G4270], crucified[G4717]among[G1722]you?[G5213]
2This[G5124]only[G3440]would[G2309] I learn[G3129]of[G575]you[G5216], Received ye[G2983] the Spirit[G4151]by[G1537] the works[G2041]of[G575] the law[G3551], or[G2228]by[G1537] the hearing[G189]of[G575]faith?[G4102]
3
Are ye[G2075]so[G3779]foolish?[G453] having begun[G1728] in the Spirit[G4151], are ye[G2005]now[G3568] made perfect[G2005] by the flesh?[G4561]
4
Have ye suffered[G3958] so many things[G5118] in vain?[G1500] if it be yet[G1489] in vain[G1500].
5
He therefore[G3767] that ministereth[G2023] to you[G5213] the Spirit[G4151], and[G2532]worketh[G1754]miracles[G1411]among[G1722]you[G5213], doeth he it by[G1537] the works[G2041] of the law[G3551], or[G2228]by[G1537] the hearing[G189] of faith?[G4102]
6
Even as[G2531]Abraham[G11]believed[G4100]God[G2316], and[G2532] it was accounted[G3049] to him[G846]for[G1519]righteousness[G1343].
7
Know ye[G1097]therefore[G686]that[G3754] they which are[G1526]of[G1537]faith[G4102], the same[G3778]are[G1526] the children[G5207]of[G1537]Abraham[G11].
8And[G1161] the scripture[G1124], foreseeing[G4275]that[G3754]God[G2316] would justify[G1344] the heathen[G1484]through[G1537]faith[G4102], preached before the gospel[G4283] unto Abraham[G11], saying[G3754], In[G1722]thee[G4671]shall[G1757]all[G3956]nations[G1484] be blessed[G1757].
9
So then[G5620] they which be of[G1537]faith[G4102] are blessed[G2127]with[G4862]faithful[G4103]Abraham[G11].
10For[G1063]as[G3745] many as[G3745]are[G1526]of[G1537] the works[G2041]of[G1537] the law[G3551]are[G1526]under[G5259] the curse[G2671]: for[G1063] it is written[G1125], Cursed[G1944] is every one[G3956]that[G3739]continueth[G1696]not[G3756]in[G1722] all things[G3956]which[G3588]are[G1526]written[G1125]in[G1722] the book[G975]of[G1537] the law[G3551] to do[G4160]them[G846].
11But[G1161]that[G3754] no man[G3762] is justified[G1344]by[G1722] the law[G3551] in the sight[G3844] of God[G2316], it is evident[G1212]: for[G3754], The just[G1342] shall live[G2198]by[G1537]faith[G4102].
12And[G1161] the law[G3551]is[G2076]not[G3756]of[G1537]faith[G4102]: but[G235], The man[G444] that doeth[G4160]them[G846] shall live[G2198]in[G1722]them[G846].
13Christ[G5547] hath redeemed[G1805]us[G2248]from[G1537] the curse[G2671] of the law[G3551], being made[G1096] a curse[G2671]for[G5228]us[G2257]: for[G1063] it is written[G1125], Cursed[G1944] is every one[G3956] that hangeth[G2910]on[G1909] a tree[G3586]:
14That[G2443] the blessing[G2129] of Abraham[G11] might come[G1096]on[G1519] the Gentiles[G1484]through[G1722]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]; that[G2443] we might receive[G2983] the promise[G1860] of the Spirit[G4151]through[G1223]faith[G4102].
15Brethren[G80], I speak[G3004] after the manner of[G2596]men[G444]; Though it be but[G3676] a man[G3762]'s covenant[G1242], yet if it be confirmed[G2964], no man[G3762]disannulleth[G114], or[G2228] addeth thereto[G1928].
16Now[G1161] to Abraham[G11]and[G2532]his[G846]seed[G4690]were[G4483] the promises[G1860]made[G4483]. He saith[G3004]not[G3756], And[G2532] to seeds[G4690], as[G5613]of[G1909]many[G4183]; but[G235]as[G5613]of[G1909]one[G1520], And[G2532] to thy[G4675]seed[G4690], which[G3739]is[G2076]Christ[G5547].
17And[G1161]this[G5124] I say[G3004], that[G1519] the covenant[G1242], that[G1519]was[G1096] confirmed before[G4300]of[G5259]God[G2316]in[G1519]Christ[G5547], the law[G3551], which was[G1096] four hundred[G5071]and[G2532]thirty[G5144]years[G2094]after[G3326], cannot[G3756]disannul[G208], that[G1519] it should make[G2673] the promise[G1860]of[G5259] none effect[G2673].
18For[G1063]if[G1487] the inheritance[G2817] be of[G1537] the law[G3551], it is no more[G3765]of[G1537]promise[G1860]: but[G1161]God[G2316]gave[G5483] it to Abraham[G11]by[G1223]promise[G1860].
19Wherefore[G5101]then[G3767] serveth the law?[G3551] It was added[G4369] because of[G5484]transgressions[G3847], till[G891] the seed[G4690] should come[G2064] to whom[G3739] the promise was made[G1861]; and it was ordained[G1299]by[G1223]angels[G32]in[G1722] the hand[G5495]of[G5484] a mediator[G3316].
20Now[G1161] a mediator[G3316]is[G2076]not[G3756] a mediator[G3316] of one[G1520], but[G1161]God[G2316]is[G2076]one[G1520].
21
Is the law[G3551]then[G3767]against[G2596] the promises[G1860] of God?[G2316]God[G2316]forbid[G3361]: for[G1063]if[G1487] there had been[G1325] a law[G3551]given[G1325]which[G3588]could[G1410] have given[G1325]life[G2227], verily[G3689]righteousness[G1343]should[G302] have been[G2258]by[G1537] the law[G3551].
22But[G235] the scripture[G1124] hath concluded[G4788]all[G3956]under[G5259]sin[G266], that[G2443] the promise[G1860]by[G1537]faith[G4102] of Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547] might be given[G1325] to them that[G2443]believe[G4100].
23But[G1161]before[G4253]faith[G4102]came[G2064], we were kept[G5432]under[G5259] the law[G3551], shut up[G4788]unto[G1519] the faith[G4102] which should afterwards[G3195] be revealed[G601].
24Wherefore[G5620] the law[G3551]was[G1096]our[G2257]schoolmaster[G3807] to bring us unto[G1519]Christ[G5547], that[G2443] we might be justified[G1344]by[G1537]faith[G4102].
25But[G1161] after that faith[G4102] is come[G2064], we are[G2070] no longer[G2089]under[G5259] a schoolmaster[G3807].
26For[G1063] ye are[G2075]all[G3956] the children[G5207] of God[G2316]by[G1223]faith[G4102]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424].
27For[G1063]as[G3745] many of you as[G3745] have been baptized[G907]into[G1519]Christ[G5547] have put on[G1746]Christ[G5547].
28
There is[G1762]neither[G3756]Jew[G2453]nor[G3761]Greek[G1672], there is[G1762]neither[G3756]bond[G1401]nor[G2532]free[G1658], there is[G1762]neither[G3756]male[G730]nor[G2532]female[G2338]: for[G1063]ye[G5210]are[G2075]all[G3956]one[G1520]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424].
29And[G1161]if[G1487]ye[G5210] be Christ's, then[G686] are ye[G2075] Abraham's seed[G4690], and[G2532]heirs[G2818]according[G2596] to the promise[G1860].
