Galatians:3:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O foolish Galatians ,
who has bewitched you ,
that you should not obey the truth ,
before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth ,
crucified among you ?
*
This only would I learn of you ,
Received you the Spirit by the works of the law ,
or by the hearing of faith ?
*
Are you so foolish ?
having begun in the Spirit ,
are you now made perfect by the flesh ?
*
Have you suffered so many things in vain ?
if it be yet in vain .
*
He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit ,
and works miracles among you ,
does he do it by the works of the law ,
or by the hearing of faith ?
*
Just as Abraham believed God ,
and it was accounted to him for righteousness .
*
Know you therefore that they which are of faith ,
the same are the children of Abraham .
*
And the scripture ,
foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith ,
preached before the gospel unto Abraham ,
saying ,
In you shall all nations be blessed .
*
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham .
*
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 .
*
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God ,
it is evident :
for ,
The just shall live by faith .
*
And the law is not of faith :
but ,
The man that does them shall live in them .
*
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 :
*
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith .
