Galatians 3

Revised Literal Translation

1OG5599 foolishG453 GalatiansG1052, whoG5101 hath bewitchedG940 youG4771, that ye shouldG3982 notG3361 obeyG3982 the truthG3588G225, beforeG2596 whoseG3739 eyesG3788 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath been evidently set forthG4270, crucifiedG4717 amongG1722 youG4771? 2ThisG3778 onlyG3440 wouldG2309 I learnG3129 ofG575 youG4771, Received yeG2983 the SpiritG3588G4151 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102? 3Are yeG1510 soG3779 foolishG453? having begunG1728 in the SpiritG4151, are yeG2005 nowG3568 made perfectG2005 by the fleshG4561? 4Have ye sufferedG3958 so many thingsG5118 in vainG1500? ifG1489 it be yetG2532 in vainG1500. 5HeG2023 thereforeG3767 thatG3588 ministerethG2023 to youG4771 the SpiritG3588G4151, andG2532 workethG1754 miraclesG1411 amongG1722 youG4771, doeth he it byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?

6Even asG2531 AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 it was accountedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343. 7Know yeG1097 thereforeG686 thatG3754 they which areG3588 ofG1537 faithG4102, the sameG3778 areG1510 the children ofG5207 AbrahamG11. 8AndG1161 the scriptureG3588G1124, foreseeingG4308 thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 would justifyG1344 the heathenG3588G1484 throughG1537 faithG4102, preached before the gospelG4283 unto AbrahamG11, saying, InG1722 theeG4771 shallG2127 allG3956 nationsG3588G1484 be blessedG2127. 9So thenG5620 theyG2127 which beG3588 ofG1537 faithG4102 are blessedG2127 withG4862 faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11.

10ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1510 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1510 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG3588G975 of the lawG3588G3551 to doG4160 themG846. 11ButG1161 thatG3754 no manG3762 is justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 in the sight ofG3844 GodG3588G2316, it is evidentG1212: forG3754, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102. 12AndG1161 the lawG3551 isG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: butG235, The manG444 that doethG4160 themG846 shall liveG2198 inG1722 themG846.

13ChristG5547 hath redeemedG1805 usG1473 fromG1537 the curseG3588G2671 of the lawG3588G3551, being madeG1096 a curseG2671 forG5228 usG1473: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3588 hangethG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586: 14ThatG2443 the blessingG3588G2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG3588G1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG3588G1860 of the SpiritG3588G4151 throughG1223 faithG3588G4102.

15BrethrenG80, I speakG3004 after the manner ofG2596 menG444; ThoughG3676 it be butG3676 a man’sG444 covenantG1242, yet if it be confirmedG2964, no manG3762 disannullethG114, orG2228 addeth theretoG1928. 16NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG3588G4690 wereG2046 the promisesG3588G1860 madeG2046. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG3588G4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 toG3588G4690 thyG4771 seedG3588G4690, whichG3739 isG1510 ChristG5547. 17AndG1161 thisG3778 I sayG3004, that the covenantG1242, that was confirmed beforeG4300 ofG5259 GodG3588G2316 inG1519 ChristG5547, the lawG3551, whichG3588 wasG1096 four hundredG5071 andG2532 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 afterG3326, cannotG3756 disannulG208, thatG3588 it should makeG2673 the promiseG3588G1860 of none effectG2673. 18ForG1063 ifG1487 the inheritanceG3588G2817 be ofG1537 the lawG3551, it is no moreG3765 ofG1537 promiseG1860: butG1161 GodG3588G2316 gaveG5483 it to AbrahamG11 byG1223 promiseG1860.

19WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3588G3551? It was addedG4369 becauseG5484 of transgressionsG3588G3847, tillG891 the seedG3588G4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316. 20NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG1510 notG3756 a mediator of oneG1520, butG1161 GodG2316 isG1510 oneG1520. 21Is the lawG3551 thenG3767 againstG2596 the promisesG3588G1860 of GodG3588G2316? God forbidG3361G1096: forG1063 ifG1487 there had beenG1325 a lawG3551 givenG1325 whichG3588 could haveG1410 given lifeG2227, verilyG3689 righteousnessG3588G1343 should have beenG1510 byG1537 the lawG3551. 22ButG235 the scriptureG3588G1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG3588G1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them thatG3588 believeG4100.

23ButG1161 beforeG4253 faithG3588G4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, shut upG4788 untoG1519 the faithG4102 whichG3588 should afterwardsG3195 be revealedG601. 24WhereforeG5620 the lawG3588G3551 wasG1096 ourG1473 schoolmasterG3807 to bring us untoG1519 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102.

25ButG1161 after thatG3588 faithG4102 is comeG2064, we areG1510 no longerG3765 underG5259 a schoolmasterG3807. 26ForG1063 ye areG1510 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of GodG2316 byG1223 faithG3588G4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 27ForG1063 as manyG3745 of youG907 asG3745 have been baptizedG907 intoG1519 ChristG5547 have put onG1746 ChristG5547. 28There isG1762 neitherG3756 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, there isG1762 neitherG3756 bondG1401 norG3761 freeG1658, there isG1762 neitherG3756 maleG730 norG2532 femaleG2338: forG1063 yeG4771 areG1510 allG3956 oneG1520 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 29AndG1161 ifG1487 yeG4771 be Christ’sG5547, thenG686 are yeG1510 Abraham’sG11 seedG4690, andG2532 heirsG2818 according toG2596 the promiseG1860.
