1 |
O foolish Galatians,
who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes
Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
|
|
|
2 |
This only would I
learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the
hearing of faith?
|
|
3 |
Are ye so foolish?
having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
|
|
4 |
Have ye suffered so
many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. |
|
5 |
He therefore that
ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it
by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
|
|
6 |
Even as Abraham
believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
|
|
7 |
Know ye therefore
that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
|
|
8 |
And the scripture,
foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before
the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
|
|
9 |
So then they which
be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. |
|
10 |
For as many as are
of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is
every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of
the law to do them.
|
|
11 |
But that no man is
justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall
live by faith.
|
|
12 |
And the law is not
of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
|
|
13 |
Christ hath redeemed
us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
|
|
14 |
That the blessing of
Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might
receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
|
|
15 |
Brethren, I speak
after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be
confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
|
|
16 |
Now to Abraham and
his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many;
but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
|
|
17 |
And this I say, that
the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was
four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make
the promise of none effect.
|
|
18 |
For if the
inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to
Abraham by promise.
|
|
19 |
Wherefore then
serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed
should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in
the hand of a mediator.
|
|
20 |
Now a mediator is
not a mediator of one, but God is one. |
|
21 |
Is the law then
against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given
which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the
law.
|
|
22 |
But the scripture
hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ
might be given to them that believe.
|
|
23 |
But before faith
came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should
afterwards be revealed.
|
|
24 |
Wherefore the law
was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by
faith.
|
|
25 |
But after that faith
is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
|
|
26 |
For ye are all the
children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. |
|
27 |
For as many of you
as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
|
|
28 |
There is neither Jew
nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
|
|
29 |
And if ye be
Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
