1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? |
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? |
4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. |
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth 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 ye 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 unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall 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 continueth 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 shall live by faith. |
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them 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 Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. |
