Galatians 3
Gal 3:1 Foolish
Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose
eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?
Gal 3:2 I just want to
learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the
law, or by hearing of faith?
Gal 3:3 Are you so
foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the
flesh?
Gal 3:4 Did you suffer
so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
Gal 3:5 He therefore
who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he
do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham
"believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."
Gal 3:7 Know therefore
that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.
Gal 3:8 The Scripture,
foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the
Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations
will be blessed."
Gal 3:9 So then, those
who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
Gal 3:10 For as many as
are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written,
"Cursed is everyone who doesn't continue in all things that are
written in the book of the law, to do them."
Gal 3:11 Now that no
man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, "The
righteous will live by faith."
Gal 3:12 The law is not
of faith, but, "The man who does them will live by them."
Gal 3:13 Christ
redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us.
For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"
Gal 3:14 that the
blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Gal 3:15 Brothers,
speaking of human terms, though it is only a man's covenant, yet when
it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.
Gal 3:16 Now the
promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To
seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed,"
which is Christ.
Gal 3:17 Now I say
this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law,
which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to
make the promise of no effect.
Gal 3:18 For if the
inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has
granted it to Abraham by promise.
Gal 3:19 What then is
the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed
should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained
through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Gal 3:20 Now a mediator
is not between one, but God is one.
Gal 3:21 Is the law
then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had
been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness
would have been of the law.
Gal 3:22 But the
Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith
in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Gal 3:23 But before
faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the
faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Gal 3:24 So that the
law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be
justified by faith.
Gal 3:25 But now that
faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Gal 3:26 For you are
all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27 For as many of
you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is
neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 If you are
Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.

Galatians
Galatians 3 1
Foolish
Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose
eyes Jesus Christ was
openly set forth among you as crucified?

hearing
of faith?
This
only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the
principle of works of

or of [the] report of faith?
this
only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the Spirit did
ye receive,
or
by the hearing of faith?
Galatians 3 3
Are
you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in
the flesh?
Are
ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made
perfect in flesh?
so
thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do
ye end?
Galatians 3 4
Did
you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
Have
ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?
so
many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty
acts among
you
-- by works of law or by the hearing of faith [is it]?
Galatians 3 6
Even
as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him for
righteousness."
Even
as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as
righteousness.
according
as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;
Galatians 3 7
Know
therefore that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.
Know
then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are
Abraham`s sons;
know
ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of Abraham,
Galatians 3 8
The
scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith,
preached the gospel
beforehand
to Abraham, saying, "In you will all the nations be blessed."
and
the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the
principle of faith,
announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the
nations shall be blessed.
and
the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous
the
nations
did proclaim before the good news to Abraham --
Galatians 3 9
So
then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
So
that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with
believing Abraham.
`Blessed
in thee shall be all the nations;` so that those of faith are
blessed with the
faithful Abraham,
Galatians 3 10
For
as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is
written, "Cursed is
everyone
who doesn`t continue in all things that are written in the book of
the law, to do them."
For
as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For
it is written,
Cursed
is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written
in the book
of
the law to do them;
for
as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been
written,
`Cursed
[is] every one who is not remaining in all things that have been
written
in
the Book of the Law -- to do them,`
Galatians 3 11
Now
that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, "The
righteous will live by faith."
but
that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The
just shall live on the
principle of faith;
and
that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident,
because `The
righteous
by faith shall live;`
Galatians 3 12
The
law is not of faith, but, "He that does them will live in them."
but
the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have
done these things shall
live by them.
and
the law is not by faith, but -- `The man who did them shall live in
them.`
Galatians 3 13
Christ
redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us.
For it is written, "Cursed
is everyone who hangs on a tree,"
Christ
has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse
for us, (for it is
written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree,)
Christ
did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a
curse, for
it
hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,`
Galatians 3 14
that
the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ
Jesus; that we might receive
the promise of the Spirit through faith.
that
the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus,
that we might
receive
the promise of the Spirit through faith.
that
to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus,
that the
promise
of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.
Galatians 3 15
Brothers,
I speak like men. Though it is only a man`s covenant, yet when it has
been confirmed, no
one makes it void, or adds to it.
Brethren,
(I speak according to man,) even man`s confirmed covenant no one
sets aside,
or
adds other dispositions to.
Brethren,
as a man I say [it], even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth
make
void
or doth add to,
Galatians 3 16
Now
the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn`t say,
"To seeds," as of many,
but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ.
But
to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not
say, And to
seeds,
as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.
and
to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not
say, `And
to
seeds,` as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,` which is
Christ;
Galatians 3 17
Now
I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the
law, which came four hundred
and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of
no effect.
Now
I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which
took place four
hundred
and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of
no effect.
and
this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law,
that came
four
hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the
promise,
Galatians 3 18
For
if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God
has granted it to Abraham by
promise.
For
if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer
on the principle of
promise;
but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.
for
if by law [be] the inheritance, [it is] no more by promise, but to
Abraham
through
promise did God grant [it].
Galatians 3 19
What
then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the
seed should come to
whom
the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand
of a mediator.
Why
then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the
seed came to
whom
the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a
mediator.
Why,
then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till
the seed
might
come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order
through
messengers in the hand of a mediator --
Galatians 3 20
Now
a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
But
a mediator is not of one, but God is one.
and
the mediator is not of one, and God is one --
Galatians 3 21
Is
the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there
had been a law given
which
could make alive, most assuredly righteousness would have been of the
law.
[Is]
then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if
a law had been
given
able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of
law;
the
law, then, [is] against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for
if a law was
given
that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,
Galatians 3 22
But
the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by
faith in Jesus Christ might be
given to those who believe.
but
the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on
the principle of
faith
of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.
but
the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by
faith of
Jesus
Christ may be given to those believing.
Galatians 3 23
But
before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, shut up to
the faith which should afterwards
be revealed.
But
before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith
[which was] about to
be
revealed.
And
before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut
up to the
faith
about to be revealed,
Galatians 3 24
So
that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we
might be justified by faith.
So
that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be
justified on the
principle
of faith.
so
that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith
we may be
declared
righteous,
Galatians 3 25
But
now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor.
But,
faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;
and
the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,
Galatians 3 26
For
you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
for
ye are all God`s sons by faith in Christ Jesus.
for
ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,
Galatians 3 27
For
as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
For
ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.
for
as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;
Galatians 3 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 in Christ Jesus.
There
is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no
male and female;
for
ye are all one in Christ Jesus:
there
is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman,
there is not
here
male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;
Galatians 3 29
If
you are Christ`s, then you are Abraham`s seed, heirs according to
promise.
but
if *ye* [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham`s seed, heirs according
to promise.
and
if ye [are] of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to
promise -- heirs.
