1 O  foolish  Galatians  , who  has bewitched  you  , that you should  not  obey  the truth  , before  whose  eyes  Jesus  Christ  has been evidently set forward  , crucified  among  you  2 This  only  would  I learn  of  you  , Received you  the Spirit  by  the works  of the law  , or  by  the hearing  of faith  3 Are you  so  foolish  ? having begun  in the Spirit  , are you  now  made perfect  by the flesh  4 Have you suffered  so many things  in vain  ? if [it be] yet  +  in vain  5 He therefore  that ministers  to you  the Spirit  , and  works  miracles  among  you  , [does he it] by  the works  of the law  , or  by  the hearing  of faith  6 Even as  Abraham  believed  God  , and  it was accounted  to him  for  righteousness  7 Know you  therefore  that  they which are of  faith  , the same  are  the children  of Abraham  8 And  the scripture  , foreseeing  that  God  would justify  the heathen  through  faith  , preached before the gospel  to Abraham  , [saying],  In  you  will  all  nations  be blessed  9 So then  they which be of  faith  are blessed  with  faithful  Abraham  10 For  as many as  are  of  the works  of the law  are  under  the curse  : for  it is written  , Cursed  [is] every one  that  continues  not  in  all things  which  are written  in  the book  of the law  to do  them  11 But  that  no man  is justified  by  the law  in the sight  of God  , [it is] evident  : for  , The just  will live  by  faith  12 And  the law  is  not  of  faith  : but  , The man  that does  them  will live  in  them  13 Christ  has redeemed  us  from  the curse  of the law  , being made  a curse  for  us  : for  it is written  , Cursed  [is] every one  that hangs  on  a tree  14 That  the blessing  of Abraham  might come  on  the Gentiles  through  Jesus  Christ  ; that  we might receive  the promise  of the Spirit  through  faith  15 brothers  , I speak  after the manner of  men  ; Though [it be] but  a man's  covenant  , yet [if it be] confirmed  , no man  disannulleth  , or  adds thereto  16 Now  to Abraham  and  his  seed  were  the promises  made  . He says  not  , And  to seeds  , as  of  many  ; but  as  of  one  , And  to your  seed  , which  is  Christ  17 And  this  I say  , [that] the covenant  , that was confirmed before  of  God  in  Christ  , the law  , which was  four hundred  and  thirty  years  after  , cannot  disannul  , that  it should make  the promise  of none 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  [serves] the law  ? It was added  because of  lawbreaking  , till  +  the seed  should come  to who  the promise was made  ; [and it was] ordained  by  angels  in  the hand  of a mediator  20 Now  a mediator  is  not  [a mediator] of one  , but  God  is  one  21 [Is] the law  then  against  the promises  of God  ? God forbid  +  : for  if  there had been  a law  given  which  could  have given life  , truly  righteousness  should  have been  by  the law  22 But  the scripture  has concluded  all  under  sin  , that  the promise  by  faith  of Jesus  Christ  might be given  to them that believe  23 But  before  faith  came  , we were kept  under  the law  , shut up  to  the faith  which should afterwards  be revealed  24 why  the law  was  our  schoolmaster  [to bring us] to  Christ  , that  we might be justified  by  faith  25 But  after that faith  is come  , we are  no longer  +  under  a schoolmaster  26 For  you are  all  the children  of God  by  faith  in  Christ  Jesus  27 For  as many of you as  have been baptized  into  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  Abraham's  seed  , and  heirs  according  to the promise
