1 O foolish ἀνόητοι anoētoi G453 Galatians , who did bewitch you , before whose eyes ὀφθαλμοὺς ophthalmous G3788 Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 Christ Χριστὸς Christos G5547 was openly set forth crucified G4717 ? 4 Did ye suffer ἐπάθετε epathete G3958 so many τοσαῦτα tosauta G5118 things in vain εἰκῇ; eikēa G1500 ? if it be indeed in vain εἰκῇ.¶ eikēa G1500 . 5 He therefore οὖν oun G3767 that supplieth to you the Spirit πνεῦμα pneuma G4151 , and worketh miracles among you , doeth he it by the works ἔργων ergōn G2041 of the law νόμου nomou G3551 , or by the hearing ἀκοῆς akoēs G189 of faith πίστεως; pisteōs G4102 ? 6 Even G2532 as Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 believed G4100 God θεῷ theō G2316 , and it was reckoned ἐλογίσθη elogisthē G3049 unto him for righteousness δικαιοσύνην. dikaiosunēn G1343 . 8 And the scripture γραφὴ graphē G1124 , foreseeing that God θεός, theos G2316 would justify G1344 the Gentiles ἔθνη ethnē G1484 by faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 , preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 , saying , In thee shall all the nations ἔθνη. ethnē G1484 be blessed . 12 and the law νόμος nomos G3551 is G1510 not of faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 ; but , He that doeth them shall live ζήσεται zēsetai G2198 in them . 13 Christ Χριστὸς Christos G5547 redeemed G1805 us from the curse κατάρας kataras G2671 of the law νόμου nomou G3551 , having become γενόμενος genomenos G1096 a curse κατάρα· katara G2671 for us ; for it is written G1125 , Cursed is every one G3588 that hangeth on a tree ξύλου· xulou G3586 : 14 that upon the Gentiles ἔθνη ethnē G1484 might come G1096 the blessing εὐλογία eulogia G2129 of Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 in Christ Χριστῷ Christō G5547 Jesus Ἰησοῦ, Iēsou G2424 ; that we might receive λάβωμεν labōmen G2983 the promise ἐπαγγελίαν epangelian G1860 of the Spirit πνεύματος pneumatos G4151 through faith πίστεως. pisteōs G4102 . 15 Brethren , I speak λέγω. legō G3004 after the manner of men ἄνθρωπον anthrōpon G444 : Though it be but a man’s ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou G444 covenant διαθήκην diathēkēn G1242 , yet when it hath been confirmed, no one οὐδεὶς oudeis G3762 maketh it void, or addeth thereto. 17 Now δὲ de G1161 this I say λέγω· legō G3004 : A covenant διαθήκην diathēkēn G1242 confirmed beforehand by God θεοῦ theou G2316 , the law νόμος nomos G3551 , which came γεγονὼς gegonōs G1096 four τετρακόσια tetrakosia G5071 hundred G5071 and thirty τριάκοντα triakonta G5144 years ἔτη etē G2094 after , doth not disannul, so as to make the promise ἐπαγγελίαν. epangelian G1860 of none effect. 18 For if the inheritance κληρονομία klēronomia G2817 is of the law νόμου nomou G3551 , it is no more of promise ἐπαγγελίας· epangelias G1860 : but God θεός.¶ theos G2316 hath granted κεχάρισται kecharistai G5483 it to Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 by promise ἐπαγγελίας epangelias G1860 . 19 What then οὖν oun G3767 is the law νόμος; nomos G3551 ? It was added προσετέθη prosetethē G4369 because of transgressions παραβάσεων parabaseōn G3847 , till the seed σπέρμα sperma G4690 should come ἔλθῃ elthē G2064 to whom the promise ἐπήγγελται, epēngeltai G1861 hath been made ; and it was ordained through angels ἀγγέλων angelōn G32 by the hand χειρὶ cheiri G5495 of a mediator μεσίτου. mesitou G3316 . 22 But the scripture γραφὴ graphē G1124 shut up all things G3956 under sin ἁμαρτίαν, hamartian G266 , that the promise ἐπαγγελία epangelia G1860 by faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 in Jesus Ἰησοῦ Iēsou G2424 Christ Χριστοῦ Christou G5547 might be given G1325 to them that believe G4100 . 23 But before faith πίστιν pistin G4102 came G2064 , we were kept in ward under the law νόμον nomon G3551 , shut up unto the faith πίστιν pistin G4102 which should afterwards be revealed ἀποκαλυφθῆναι. apokaluphthēnai G601 . 24 So ἵνα ina G2443 that the law νόμος nomos G3551 is become γέγονεν gegonen G1096 our tutor to bring us unto Christ Χριστόν, Christon G5547 , that we might be justified G1344 by faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 . 27 For as many ὅσοι hosoi G3745 of you as were baptized G907 into Christ Χριστὸν Christon G5547 did put ἐνεδύσασθε. enedusasthe G1746 on Christ Χριστὸν Christon G5547 . ← Galatians 2 Galatians 4 → Commentaries on Galatians 3 American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
