| 3 | Galatians | ||
| 1 | O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? | Law or Faith Ga.3.1-14 | |
| 2 | Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith? | ||
| 3 | Are you so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh? | ||
| 4 | Did you experience so many things in vain? - if it really is in vain. | ||
| 5 | Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith? | ||
| 6 | Thus Abraham "believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." | - Thus Abraham believed God Ga.3.6 - Gn.15.6 | |
| 7 | So you see that it is men of faith who are the sons of Abraham. | ||
| 8 | And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed." | - In you shall all the nations be blessed Ga.3.8 - Gn.12.3 | |
| 9 | So then, those who are men of faith are blessed with Abraham who had faith. | ||
| 10 | For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them." | - Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book Ga.3.10 - Dt.27.26 | |
| 11 | Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for "He who through faith is righteous shall live"; | - He who through faith is righteous shall live Ga.3.11 - Hab.2.4 | |
| 12 | but the law does not rest on faith, for "He who does them shall live by them." | - He who does them shall live by them Ga.3.12 - Lv.18.5 | |
| 13 | Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us - for it is written, "Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree" - | - Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree Ga.3.13 - Dt.21.23 | |
| 14 | that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. | ||
| 15 | To give a human example, brethren: no one annuls even a man's will, or adds to it, once it has been ratified. | The Law and the Promise Ga.3.15-20 | |
| 16 | Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many; but, referring to one, "And to your offspring," which is Christ. | - Now the promises were made to Abraham Ga.3.16 - Gn.12.7, Gn.13.15, Gn.17.7 | |
| 17 | This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. | ||
| 18 | For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no longer by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise. | ||
| 19 | Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ordained by angels through an intermediary. | ||
| 20 | Now an intermediary implies more than one; but God is one. | ||
| 21 | Is the law then against the promises ? Certainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. | Slaves and Sons Ga.3.21-4.7 | |
| 22 | But the scripture consigned all things to sin, that what was promised to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. | ||
| 23 | Now before faith came, we were confined under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed. | ||
| 24 | So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by faith. | ||
| 25 | But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian; | ||
| 26 | for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. | ||
| 27 | For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. | ||
| 28 | There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. | ||
| 29 | And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. | ||
