Galatians 3:13-29

13ChristG5547 1redeemedG1805 us from the curseG2671 of the LawG3551, having becomeG1096 a curseG2671 for us--for it is writtenG1125, “2CursedG1944 is everyoneG3956 who hangsG2910 on 3a 4treeG3586”-- 14in orderG2443 that 5in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might 6comeG1096 to the GentilesG1484, soG2443 that we 7would receiveG2983 8the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.

159BrethrenG80, 10I speakG3004 11in termsG2596 of humanG444 relationsG444: 12evenG3676 thoughG3676 it is only a man’sG444 13covenantG1242, yetG3676 when it has been ratifiedG2964, noG3762 oneG3762 setsG114 it asideG114 orG2228 addsG1928 14conditionsG1928 to it. 16NowG1161 the promisesG1860 were spokenG3004 15to AbrahamG11 and to his seedG4690. He does not sayG3004, “And to seedsG4690,” as referring to manyG4183, but rather to oneG1520, “16And to your seedG4690,” that is, ChristG5547. 17What I am sayingG3004 is thisG3778: the LawG3551, which cameG1096 17fourG5071 hundredG5071 and thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 laterG3326, does not invalidateG208 a covenantG1242 previouslyG4300 ratifiedG4300 by GodG2316, soG1519 as to nullifyG2673 the promiseG1860. 18For 18ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 is 19basedG1537 on lawG3551, it is noG3765 longerG3765 20basedG1537 on a promiseG1860; but 21GodG2316 has grantedG5483 it to AbrahamG11 by meansG1223 of a promiseG1860.

1922WhyG5101 the LawG3551 thenG3767? It was addedG4369 23becauseG5484 of transgressionsG3847, having been 24ordainedG1299 throughG1223 angelsG32 25by the 26agencyG5495 of a mediatorG3316, untilG891 27the seedG4690 would comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promiseG1861 had been madeG1861. 20NowG1161 28a mediatorG3316 is not 29for oneG1520 party only; whereasG1161 GodG2316 is only oneG1520. 21Is the LawG3551 thenG3767 contraryG2596 to the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? 30May it neverG3361 be! For 31ifG1487 a lawG3551 had been givenG1325 which was ableG1410 to impartG2227 lifeG2227, then righteousnessG1343 32would indeedG3689 have beenG1510 33basedG1537 on lawG3551. 22But the ScriptureG1124 has 34shutG4788 up 35everyoneG3956 underG5259 sinG266, soG2443 that the promiseG1860 by faithG4102 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to thoseG3588 who believeG4100.

23But beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 in custodyG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, 36being shutG4788 up to the faithG4102 which was laterG3195 to be revealedG601. 24ThereforeG5620 the LawG3551 has becomeG1096 our 37tutorG3807 to lead us to ChristG5547, soG2443 that 38we may be justifiedG1344 by faithG4102. 25But nowG1161 that faithG4102 has comeG2064, we are noG3765 longerG3765 underG5259 a 3940tutorG3807. 26For you are allG3956 41sonsG5207 of GodG2316 throughG1223 faithG4102 in 42ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 27For allG3745 of you whoG3745 were 43baptizedG907 into ChristG5547 have 44clothedG1746 yourselves with ChristG5547. 2845ThereG1762 is neitherG3756G1762 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, thereG1762 is neitherG3756G1762 slaveG1401 norG3761 freeG1658 manG1658, thereG1762 is 46neitherG3756G1762 maleG733 norG2532 femaleG2338; for 47you are allG3956 oneG1520 in 48ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 29And ifG1487 49you 50belong to ChristG5547, thenG686 you are Abraham’sG11 51descendantsG4690, heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to 52promiseG1860.
