Galatians 3

1O foolishG453 Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyesG3788 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 was openly set forth crucifiedG4717? 2This onlyG3440 wouldG2309 I learnG3129 from you, ReceivedG2983 ye the SpiritG4151 by the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, or by the hearingG189 of faithG4102? 3AreG1510 ye soG3779 foolishG453? having begun in the SpiritG4151, areG1510 ye nowG3568 perfected in the fleshG4561? 4Did ye sufferG3958 so manyG5118 things in vainG1500? if it be indeed in vainG1500. 5He thereforeG3767 that supplieth to you the SpiritG4151, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, or by the hearingG189 of faithG4102? 6EvenG2532 as AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, and it was reckonedG3049 unto him for righteousnessG1343. 7KnowG1097 thereforeG686 that they that areG1510 of faithG4102, the same areG1510 sonsG5207 of AbrahamG11. 8And the scriptureG1124, foreseeing that GodG2316 would justifyG1344 the GentilesG1484 by faithG4102, preached the gospel beforehand unto AbrahamG11, saying, In thee shall all the nationsG1484 be blessed. 9SoG5620 thenG5620 they that are of faithG4102 are blessedG2127 with the faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11. 10For as manyG3745 as areG1510 of the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1510 under a curseG2671: for it isG1510 writtenG1125, Cursed isG1510 every oneG3739 who continueth not in all thingsG3956 that areG1510 writtenG1125 in the bookG975 of the lawG3551, to do them. 11NowG1161 that no manG1342 is justifiedG1344 by the lawG3551 before GodG2316, is evidentG1212: for, The righteousG1342 shall liveG2198 by faithG4102; 12and the lawG3551 isG1510 not of faithG4102; but, He that doeth them shall liveG2198 in them. 13ChristG5547 redeemedG1805 us from the curseG2671 of the lawG3551, having becomeG1096 a curseG2671 for us; for it is writtenG1125, Cursed is every oneG3588 that hangeth on a treeG3586: 14that upon the GentilesG1484 might comeG1096 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424; that we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 through faithG4102.

15Brethren, I speakG3004 after the manner of menG444: Though it be but a man’sG444 covenantG1242, yet when it hath been confirmed, no oneG3762 maketh it void, or addeth thereto. 16NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 wereG1510 the promisesG1860 spokenG3004, and to his seedG4690. He saith not, And to seedsG4690, as of manyG4183; but as of oneG1520, And to thy seedG4690, which isG1510 ChristG5547. 17NowG1161 this I sayG3004: A covenantG1242 confirmed beforehand by GodG2316, the lawG3551, which cameG1096 fourG5071 hundredG5071 and thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promiseG1860 of none effect. 18For if the inheritanceG2817 is of the lawG3551, it is no more of promiseG1860: but GodG2316 hath grantedG5483 it to AbrahamG11 by promiseG1860. 19What thenG3767 is the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because of transgressionsG3847, till the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whom the promiseG1861 hath been made; and it was ordained through angelsG32 by the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316. 20NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG1510 not a mediatorG3316 of oneG1520; but GodG2316 isG1510 oneG1520. 21IsG1510 the lawG3551 thenG3767 against the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? GodG2316 forbid: for if there had beenG1510 a lawG3551 givenG1325 which could make aliveG2227, verily righteousnessG1343 would have beenG1510 of the lawG3551. 22But the scriptureG1124 shut up all thingsG3956 under sinG266, that the promiseG1860 by faithG4102 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.

23But before faithG4102 cameG2064, we were kept in ward under the lawG3551, shut up unto the faithG4102 which should afterwards be revealedG601. 24SoG2443 that the lawG3551 is becomeG1096 our tutor to bring us unto ChristG5547, that we might be justifiedG1344 by faithG4102. 25But nowG1161 that faithG4102 isG1510 comeG2064, we areG1510 no longer under a tutor. 26For ye areG1510 all sonsG5207 of GodG2316, through faithG4102, in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 27For as manyG3745 of you as were baptizedG907 into ChristG5547 did putG1746 on ChristG5547. 28There can beG1510 neither JewG2453 nor GreekG1672, there can beG1510 neither bond nor freeG1658, there can beG1510 no maleG730 and femaleG2338; for ye all areG1510 oneG1520 man in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 29And if ye areG1510 Christ’s, thenG1161 areG1510 ye Abraham’s seedG4690, heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to promiseG1860.
