1 - O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth: before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you?
2 - This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?
3 - Are you so foolish that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
4 - Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
5 - He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit and worketh miracles among you: doth he do it by the works of the law or by the hearing of the faith?
6 - As it is written: Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice.
7 - Know ye, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 - And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 - Therefore, they that are of faith shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 - For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one that abideth, not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 - But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.
12 - But the law is not of faith: but he that doth those things 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 Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
15 - Brethren (I speak after the manner of man), yet a man's testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth nor addeth to it.
16 - To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not: And to his seeds as of many. But as of one: And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 - Now this I say: that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years doth not disannul, to make the promise of no 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 - Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 - Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
21 - Was the law then against the promises of God: God forbid! For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.
22 - But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
23 - But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
24 - Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ: that we might be justified by faith.
25 - But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
26 - For you are all the children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 - For as many of you as have been baptized in 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 you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 - And if you be Christ's, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
