New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |

|
| 3 1 | YOU STUPID GALATIANS! You must have been bewitched—you before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly displayed upon his cross! | Law or Faith Ga.3.1-14 | Ὦ ἀνόητοι Γαλάται, τίς ὑμᾶς ἐβάσκανεν, οἷς κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς προεγράφη ἐσταυρωμένος; |
|
| 2 | Answer me one question: did you receive the Spirit by keeping the law or by believing the gospel message? Or: or by the message of faith; Or: or by hearing and believing. | | τοῦτο μόνον θέλω μαθεῖν ἀφ' ὑμῶν, ἐξ ἐργων νόμου τὸ Πνεῦμα ἐλάβετε ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως; |
|
| 3 | Can it be that you are so stupid? You started with the spiritual; do you now look to the material to make you perfect? | | οὑτως ἀνόητοί ἐστὲ ἐναρξάμενοι πνεύματι νῦν σαρκὶ ἐπιτελεῖσθὲ; |
|
| 4 | Have all your great experiences been in vain—if vain indeed they should be? I ask then: | | τοσαῦτα ἐπάθετε εἰκῇ; εἰ γε καὶ εἰκῇ. |
|
| 5 | when God gives you the Spirit and works miracles among you, why is this? Is it because you keep the law, or is it because you have faith in the gospel message? | | ὁ οὖν ἐπιχορηγῶν ὑμῖν τὸ Πνεῦμα καὶ ἐνεργῶν δυνάμεις ἐν ὑμῖν ἐξ ἐργων νόμου ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως; |
|
| 6 | Look at Abraham: he put his faith in God, and that faith was counted to him as righteousness.
| - Thus Abraham believed God Ga.3.6 | Gn.15.6 | καθὼς Ἀβραὰμ ἐπίστευσεν τῷ θεῷ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην. |
|
| 7 | You may take it, then, that it is the men of faith who are Abraham's sons. | | Γινώσκετε ἀρα ὅτι οἱ ἐκ πίστεως, οὗτοι υἱοί εἰσιν Ἀβραάμ. |
|
| 8 | And Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles through faith, declared the Gospel to Abraham beforehand: 'In you all nations shall find blessing.' | - In you shall all the nations be blessed Ga.3.8 | Gn.12.3 | προϊδοῦσα δὲ ἡ γραφὴ ὅτι ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοῖ τὰ ἐθνη ὁ θεὸς προευηγγελίσατο τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ὅτι Ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη. |
|
| 9 | Thus it is the men of faith who share the blessing with faithful Abraham.
| | ὡστε οἱ ἐκ πίστεως εὐλογοῦνται σὺν τῷ πιστῷ Ἀβραάμ. |
|
| 10 | On the other hand those who rely on obedience to the law are under a curse; for Scripture says, 'A curse is on all who do not persevere in doing everything that is written in the Book of the Law.' | - Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book Ga.3.10 | Dt.27.26 | ὁσοι γὰρ ἐξ ἐργων νόμου εἰσὶν ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν· γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι Ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὃς οὐκ ἐμμένει πᾶσιν τοῖς γεγραμμένοις ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτά. |
|
| 11 | It is evident that no one is ever justified before God in terms of law; because we read, 'he shall gain life who is justified through faith'. | - He who through faith is righteous shall live Ga.3.11 | Hab.2.4 | ὁτι δὲ ἐν νόμῳ οὐδεὶς δικαιοῦται παρὰ τῷ θεῷ δῆλον, ὅτι Ὁ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως ζήσετα· |
|
| 12 | Now law is not at all a matter of having faith: we read, 'he who does this shall gain life by what he does'.
| - He who does them shall live by them Ga.3.12 | Lv.18.5 | ὁ δὲ νόμος οὐκ ἐστιν ἐκ πίστεως, ἀλλ' Ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
|
| 13 | Christ bought us freedom from the curse of the law by becoming for our sake an accursed thing; for Scripture says, 'A curse is on everyone who is hanged on a gibbet.' | - Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree Ga.3.13 | Dt.21.23 | Χριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάρα, ὅτι γέγραπται, Ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κρεμάμενος ἐπὶ ξύλου, |
|
| 14 | And the purpose of it all was that the blessing of Abraham should in Jesus Christ be extended to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
| | ἵνα εἰς τὰ ἐθνη ἡ εὐλογία τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ γένηται ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, ἵνα τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πνεύματος λάβωμεν διὰ τῆς πίστεως. |
