Galatians:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O foolish Galatians ,
who hath bewitched (
5656 )
you ,
that ye should not obey (
5745 )
the truth ,
before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth (
5648 ),
crucified (
5772 )
among you ?
*
This only would (
5719 )
I learn (
5629 )
of you ,
Received ye (
5627 )
the Spirit by the works of the law ,
or by the hearing of faith ?
*
Are ye (
5748 )
so foolish ?
having begun (
5666 )
in the Spirit ,
are ye now made perfect (
5727 )
by the flesh ?
*
Have ye suffered (
5627 )
so many things in vain ?
if it be yet in vain .
*
He therefore that ministereth (
5723 )
to you the Spirit ,
and worketh (
5723 )
miracles among you ,
doeth he it by the works of the law ,
or by the hearing of faith ?
*
Even as Abraham believed (
5656 )
God ,
and it was accounted (
5681 )
to him for righteousness .
*
Know ye (
5719 ) (
5720 )
therefore that they which are of faith ,
the same are (
5748 )
the children of Abraham .
*
And the scripture ,
foreseeing (
5631 )
that God would justify (
5719 )
the heathen through faith ,
preached before the gospel (
5662 )
unto Abraham ,
saying ,
In thee shall all nations be blessed (
5701 ).
*
So then they which be of faith are blessed (
5743 )
with faithful Abraham .
*
For as many as are (
5748 )
of the works of the law are (
5748 )
under the curse :
for it is written (
5769 ),
Cursed is every one that continueth (
5719 )
not in all things which are written (
5772 )
in the book of the law to do (
5658 )
them .
*
But that no man is justified (
5743 )
by the law in the sight of God ,
it is evident :
for ,
The just shall live (
5695 )
by faith .
*
And the law is (
5748 )
not of faith :
but ,
The man that doeth (
5660 )
them shall live (
5695 )
in them .
*
Christ hath redeemed (
5656 )
us from the curse of the law ,
being made (
5637 )
a curse for us :
for it is written (
5769 ),
Cursed is every one that hangeth (
5734 )
on a tree :
*
That the blessing of Abraham might come (
5638 )
on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ ;
that we might receive (
5632 )
the promise of the Spirit through faith .
*
Brethren ,
I speak (
5719 )
after the manner of men ;
Though it be but a mans covenant ,
yet if it be confirmed (
5772 ),
no man disannulleth (
5719 ),
or addeth thereto (
5736 ).
*
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made (
5681 ).
He saith (
5719 )
not ,
And to seeds ,
as of many ;
but as of one ,
And to thy seed ,
which is (
5748 )
Christ .
*
And this I say (
5719 ),
that the covenant ,
that was confirmed before (
5772 )
of God in Christ ,
the law ,
which was (
5756 )
four hundred and thirty years after ,
cannot disannul (
5719 ),
that it should make the promise of none effect (
5658 ).
*
For if the inheritance be of the law ,
it is no more of promise :
but God gave (
5766 )
it to Abraham by promise .
*
Wherefore then serveth the law ?
It was added (
5681 )
because of transgressions ,
till the seed should come (
5632 )
to whom the promise was made (
5766 );
and it was ordained (
5651 )
by angels in the hand of a mediator .
*
Now a mediator is (
5748 )
not a mediator of one ,
but God is (
5748 )
one .
*
Is the law then against the promises of God ?
God forbid (
5636 ):
for if there had been a law given (
5681 )
which could (
5740 )
have given life (
5658 ),
verily righteousness should have been (
5713 )
by the law .
*
But the scripture hath concluded (
5656 )
all under sin ,
that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given (
5686 )
to them that believe (
5723 ).
*
But before faith came (
5629 ),
we were kept (
5712 )
under the law ,
shut up (
5772 )
unto the faith which should afterwards (
5723 )
be revealed (
5683 ).
*
Wherefore the law was (
5754 )
our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ ,
that we might be justified (
5686 )
by faith .
*
But after that faith is come (
5631 ),
we are (
5748 )
no longer under a schoolmaster .
*
For ye are (
5748 )
all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus .
*
For as many of you as have been baptized (
5681 )
into Christ have put on (
5668 )
Christ .
*
There is (
5748 )
neither Jew nor Greek ,
there is (
5748 )
neither bond nor free ,
there is (
5748 )
neither male nor female :
for ye are (
5748 )
all one in Christ Jesus .
*
And if ye be Christs ,
then are ye (
5748 )
Abrahams seed ,
and heirs according to the promise .
