Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that
yeshould 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.
