| 3:1 | O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? |
| 3:2 | This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
| 3:3 | Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? |
| 3:4 | Have you suffered so many things in vain, if indeed it was in vain? |
| 3:5 | Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
| 3:6 | Just as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." |
| 3:7 | Therefore know that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham. |
| 3:8 | And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles through faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations will be blessed." |
| 3:9 | So then those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. |
| 3:10 | Because, as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; because it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them." |
| 3:11 | But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, because "the just will live by faith." |
| 3:12 | Yet the law is not of faith, but "the man who does them will live in them." |
| 3:13 | Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (because it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"), |
| 3:14 | that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. |
| 3:15 | Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. |
| 3:16 | Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ. |
| 3:17 | And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. |
| 3:18 | Because, if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. |
| 3:19 | What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, until the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. |
| 3:20 | Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. |
| 3:21 | Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid! Because, if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. |
| 3:22 | But the Scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith, of Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. |
| 3:23 | But before faith came, we were preserved by the law, preserved for the faith which would afterward be revealed. |
| 3:24 | Therefore the law was an instructor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. |
| 3:25 | But after faith has come, we are no longer under an instructor. |
| 3:26 | Because, you are all sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus. |
| 3:27 | Because, as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. |
| 3:28 | There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; because you are all one in Christ Jesus. |
| 3:29 | And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. |
| 3:1 | O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the trueth, to whome Iesus Christ before was described in your sight, and among you crucified? |
| 3:2 | This only would I learne of you, Receiued ye the Spirit by the workes of the Lawe, or by the hearing of faith preached? |
| 3:3 | Are ye so foolish, that after ye haue begun in the Spirit, ye would now be made perfect by the flesh? |
| 3:4 | Haue ye suffered so many things in vaine? if so be it be euen in vaine. |
| 3:5 | He therefore that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it through the workes of the Law, or by the hearing of faith preached? |
| 3:6 | Yea rather as Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed to him for righteousnes. |
| 3:7 | Knowe ye therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. |
| 3:8 | For the Scripture foreseeing, that God would iustifie the Gentiles through faith, preached before the Gospel vnto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed. |
| 3:9 | So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham. |
| 3:10 | For as many as are of the workes of the Lawe, are vnder the curse: for it is written, Cursed is euery man that continueth not in all things, which are written in the booke of the Law, to doe them. |
| 3:11 | And that no man is iustified by the Law in the sight of God, it is euident: for the iust shall liue by faith. |
| 3:12 | And the Lawe is not of faith: but the man that shall doe those things, shall liue in them. |
| 3:13 | Christ hath redeemed vs from the curse of the Lawe, made a curse for vs, (for it is written, Cursed is euery one that hangeth on tree) |
| 3:14 | That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Iesus, that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirite through faith. |
| 3:15 | Brethren, I speake as men do: though it be but a mans couenant, when it is confirmed, yet no man doeth abrogate it, or addeth any thing thereto. |
| 3:16 | Nowe to Abraham and his seede were the promises made. Hee saith not, And to the seedes, as speaking of many: but, And to thy seede, as of one, which is Christ. |
| 3:17 | And this I say, that the couenant that was confirmed afore of God in respect of Christ, the Lawe which was foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres after, can not disanull, that it shoulde make the promise of none effect. |
| 3:18 | For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise. |
| 3:19 | Wherefore then serueth the Law? It was added because of the transgressions, til the seed came, vnto the which the promise was made: and it was ordeined by Angels in the hande of a Mediatour. |
| 3:20 | Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one. |
| 3:21 | Is the Lawe then against the promises of God? God forbid: For if there had bene a Lawe giuen which coulde haue giuen life, surely righteousnes should haue bene by the Lawe. |
| 3:22 | But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should be giuen to them that beleeue. |
| 3:23 | But before faith came, we were kept vnder the Law, as vnder a garison, and shut vp vnto that faith, which should afterward be reueiled. |
| 3:24 | Wherefore the Lawe was our scholemaster to bring vs to Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith. |
| 3:25 | But after that faith is come, we are no longer vnder a scholemaster. |
| 3:26 | For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus. |
| 3:27 | For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ. |
| 3:28 | There is neither Iewe nor Grecian: there is neither bonde nor free: there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Iesus. |
| 3:29 | And if ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heires by promise. |
| 3:1 | O folisshe Galathyas: who hath bewitched you that ye shuld not beleve the trueth? To whom Iesus Christ was described before the eyes and amoge you crucified. |
| 3:2 | This only wolde I learne of you: receaved ye the sprete by the dedes of ye lawe or els by preachinge of ye faith? |
| 3:3 | Are ye so vnwyse that after ye have begonne in the sprete ye wolde nowe ende in the flesshe? |
| 3:4 | So many thinges there ye have suffred in vayne if yt be vayne. |
| 3:5 | Which ministered to you the sprete and worketh myracles amonge you doth he it thorow the dedes of the lawe or by preachinge of the fayth? |
| 3:6 | Even as Abraham beleved God and it was asscribed to him for rightewesnes. |
| 3:7 | Vnderstonde therfore yt they which are of fayth the same are the chyldren of Abraham. |
| 3:8 | For the seripture sawe afore honde yt God wolde iustifie the hethen thorow fayth and therfore shewed before honde glad tydinges vnto Abraham: In the shall all nacions be blessed. |
| 3:9 | So then they which be of fayth are blessed with faythfull Abraham. |
| 3:10 | For as many as are vnder the dedes of the lawe are vnder malediccio. For it is written: cursed is every man yt cotinueth not in all thinges which are writte in ye boke of ye lawe to fulfill the. |
| 3:11 | That no ma is iustified by ye lawe in ye sight of God is evidet. For the iuste shall live by fayth. |
| 3:12 | The lawe is not of fayth: but the man that fulfilleth the thinges contayned in the lawe (shall live in the.) |
| 3:13 | But Christ hath delivered vs fro the curse of the lawe and was made a cursed for vs. For it is writte: cursed is every one that hangeth on tree |
| 3:14 | that the blessynge of Abraham might come on the getyls thorow Iesus Christ and that we might receave the promes of the sprete thorow fayth. |
| 3:15 | Brethren I will speake after the maner of men. Though it be but a mans testament yet no ma despiseth it or addeth eny thinge therto when it is once alowed. |
| 3:16 | To Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He sayth not in the seedes as in many: but in thy sede as in one which is Christ. |
| 3:17 | This I saye that the lawe which beganne afterwarde beyonde .iiii.C and .xxx. yeares doth not disanull the testament that was confermed afore of God vnto Christ ward to make the promes of none effect. |
| 3:18 | For yf the inheritaunce come of the lawe it cometh not of promes. But God gave it vnto Abraham by promes. |
| 3:19 | Wherfore then serveth ye lawe? The lawe was added because of transgression (tyll the seed cam to which ye promes was made) and it was ordeyned by angels in ye honde of a mediator. |
| 3:20 | A mediator is not a mediator of one. But God is one. |
| 3:21 | Ys the lawe then agaynst ye promes of God? God forbid. How be it yf ther had bene a lawe geve which coulde have geven lyfe: then no doute rightewesnes shuld have come by ye lawe. |
| 3:22 | But ye scripture concluded all thinges vnder synne yt the promes by the fayth of Iesus Christ shuld be geve vnto them yt beleve. |
| 3:23 | Before yt fayth cam we were kept and shut vp vnder the lawe vnto the fayth which shuld afterwarde be declared. |
| 3:24 | Wherfore the lawe was oure scolemaster vnto the tyme of Christ yt we might be made rightewes by fayth. |
| 3:25 | But after yt fayth is come now are we no lenger vnder a scolemaster. |
| 3:26 | For ye are all the sonnes of God by ye fayth which is in Christ Iesus. |
| 3:27 | For all ye that are baptised have put on Christ. |
| 3:28 | Now is ther no Iewe nether getyle: ther is nether bonde ner fre: ther is nether man ner woman: but ye are all one thinge in Christ Iesu. |
| 3:29 | Yf ye be Christes then are ye Abrahams seed and heyres by promes. |
