Galatians 3:1–14

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?

²This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?

³Are you so foolish that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?

⁴Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.

⁵He 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?

⁶As it is written: Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice.

⁷Know ye, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

⁸And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.

⁹Therefore, they that are of faith shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.

¹⁰For 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.

¹¹But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.

¹²But the law is not of faith: but he that doth those things shall live in them.

¹³Christ 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).

¹⁴That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
