Galatians 3:1–14
1 1You foolish aGalatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ bwas publicly portrayed as crucified?
2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of 1the Law, or by 2ahearing with faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun 1by the Spirit, are you now 2being perfected by the flesh?
4 Did you 1suffer so many things in vain—aif indeed it was in vain?
5 So then, does He who aprovides you with the Spirit and bworks 1miracles among you, do it by the works of 2the Law, or by 3chearing with faith?
6 1Even so aAbraham bbelieved God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
7 Therefore, 1be sure that ait is those who are of faith who are bsons of Abraham.
8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God 1would justify the 2Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “aAll the nations will be blessed in you.”
9 So then athose who are of faith are blessed with 1Abraham, the believer.
10 For as many as are of the works of 1the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “aCursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.”
11 Now that ano one is justified 1by 2the Law before God is evident; for, “3bThe righteous man shall live by faith.”
12 1However, the Law is not 2of faith; on the contrary, “aHe who practices them shall live 3by them.”
13 Christ aredeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “bCursed is everyone who hangs on ca 1tree”—
14 in order that ain Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might 1come to the Gentiles, so that we bwould receive cthe promise of the Spirit through faith.
