Galatians:3:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O THOUGHTLESS Galatians ,
who has bewitched you before whose eyes Jesus Christ was pictured crucified ?
*
Only this I wish to learn from you :
Was it because of works of law that you received the Spirit ,
or because of hearing with faith ?
*
Are you so thoughtless ?
After beginning with spirit are you now finishing with flesh ?
*
Have you suffered such things to no purpose ? \'
97 if it is to no purpose .
*
He who supplies to you the Spirit and works miracles among you ,
is he doing it because of works of law or because of hearing with faith ,
*
just as Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness ?
*
You know ,
then ,
that those who are of faith \'
97 they are children of Abraham .
*
For the Scripture ,
foreseeing that God would declare the Gentiles righteous because of faith ,
announced the good news in advance to Abraham , "
In you all the Gentiles will be blessed ."
*
So then those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham .
*
For all who are of the works of law are under a curse ,
for it is written , "
Cursed is every one who does not abide by all the precepts of the book of the Law and do them ."
*
But that by law no one is declared righteous before God is plain ,
because , "
He who is righteous by faith shall live ."
*
But the Law is not of faith ,
but "
He who does these things shall live by them ."
*
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for our sake ,
for it is written , "
Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree ,"
*
in order that the blessing of Abraham might in Jesus Christ come on the Gentiles ,
that they might receive through faith the promise of the Spirit .
