| 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. |
