1 O thoughtless, Galatians, who you deluded? to whom with respect to eyes Jesus Anointed was before set forth among you having been crucified.
2 This thing only I wish to have learned from you; on account of works of law the spirit did you receive, or on account of a hearing of faith?
3 So thoughtless are you? having begun in spirit, now in flesh are you being made perfect?
4 So many things you suffered without cause? If indeed even without cause.
5 The then supplying to you the spirit, and working miracles among you, on account of works of law, or on account of obedience of faith?
6 even as Abraham believed in the God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
7 Know you certainly, that those of faith, these are sons of Abraham.
8 Having before seen and the writing, that by faith justifies the nations the God, before announced glad tidings to the Abraham: That shall be blessed in thee all the nations.
9 So that those of faith, are blessed with the believing Abraham.
10 As many as for of works of law are, under a curse they are; it has been written for: That accursed every one who not continues in all things those having been written in the book of the law, of the to have done them.
11 That but by law no one is justified before the God, clear; because the just by faith, shall live;
12 the but law not is of faith; but the one having done these things, shall live by them. Galatians
13 Anointed us bought off from the curse of the law, having become on behalf of us a curse; (it has been written for: Accursed every one he being hung on a tree;)
14 so that for the nations the blessing of the Abraham might be in Anointed Jesus, that the annunciation of the spirit we might receive through the faith.
15 Brethren, according to man I speak; though of a man having been ratified a covenant no one sets aside or superadds.
16 To the now Abraham were spoken the promises, even for the seed of him. Not he says: And to the seeds as concerning many, but as concerning one. And to the seed of thee; who is Anointed.
17 This but I say; a covenant previously ratified by the God concerning Anointed, that after four hundred and thirty years having become a law not annuls, so as the to have canceled the promise;
18 if for by law the inheritance, no longer by promise; to the but Abraham through promise has freely given the God.
19 Why then the law? The transgressions on account of it was appointed, (to which time should have come the seed, to whom it has been promised,) having been instituted by means of messengers, in hand of mediator.
20 The but mediator of one not he is; the but God one is.
21 The then law contrary to the promises of the God? Not let it be. If for was given a law that being able to have made alive, truly by law was the righteousness;
22 but shut up together the scripture the all things under sin, in order that the promise by faith of Jesus Anointed might be given to the believers.
23 Before the but to have come the faith, under law we were guarded being shut up together for the being about faith to have been revealed.
24 So that the law a childleader of us has become, to Anointed, that by faith we might be justified;
25 having come but the faith, no longer under a childleader we are. Galatians
26 All for sons of God you are through the faith in Anointed Jesus; Galatians
27 as many as for into Anointed were dipped, Anointed you were clothed.
28 Not there is a Jew, nor a Greek; not there is a slave, nor a freeman; not there is male and female; all for you one are in Anointed Jesus;
29 if but you of Anointed, certainly of the Abraham seed you are, and according to promise heirs.
1 O foolish Galatians, who fascinated cast a spell overbeguiledinfluenced you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was openly presented impaled.
2 I want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law, or by having faith in what you heard?
3 Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now made perfect mature in the flesh?
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain? Does it have no purpose?
5 He that provides the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
6 Abraham believed God and »Jehovah considered his faith as his righteousness.« (Genesis 15:6)
7 You know that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
8 The Scripture revealed ahead of time, that God justified the people of the nations by faith. He preached the good news beforehand to Abraham. He said: »In you will all the nations be blessed.«
9 So then those who have faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
10 Those who are of the works of the Law are under a curse. For it is written, »Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the Law, by obeying them.«
11 The fact that the Law justifies no man before God is evident. The righteous will live by faith.
12 The Law is not based on faith. »He that does them will live by them.«
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. It is written; »Cursed is everyone who is hung on a stake.«
14 This way the blessing of Abraham might come upon the nations through Christ Jesus and we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 Brothers, I speak like a man speaks: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.
16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He did not say to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to your seed, which is Christ.
17 Now this I say: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.
18 If the inheritance is based on the Law, it is no longer based on a promise. However God granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.
19 What then is the law? It was added to cause awareness of sin because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20 A mediator is not a mediator of one; but God is one.
21 Is the Law then against the promises of God? God forbid! If a law had been given which could impart life, righteousness would have been from the Law.
22 But the Scriptures shut up imprisonedpictured all things mankind under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 But before faith came the Law held us in custody. We were locked up until faith was revealed.
24 The Law was our schoolmaster Greek: paedagogue: a combination of schoolmaster, instructor, servant and guardian in charge of us to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you who were baptized into Christ put on clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one united in Christ Jesus. (John 17:21) (Ephesians 4:4-6)
29 If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.
