| 3:1 | O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified? |
| 3:2 | this only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith? |
| 3:3 | so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end? |
| 3:4 | so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain. |
| 3:5 | He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you -- by works of law or by the hearing of faith `is it'? |
| 3:6 | according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness; |
| 3:7 | know ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of Abraham, |
| 3:8 | and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham -- |
| 3:9 | `Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham, |
| 3:10 | for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed `is' every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,' |
| 3:11 | and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because `The righteous by faith shall live;' |
| 3:12 | and the law is not by faith, but -- `The man who did them shall live in them.' |
| 3:13 | Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,' |
| 3:14 | that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith. |
| 3:15 | Brethren, as a man I say `it', even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to, |
| 3:16 | and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, `And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,' which is Christ; |
| 3:17 | and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise, |
| 3:18 | for if by law `be' the inheritance, `it is' no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant `it'. |
| 3:19 | Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator -- |
| 3:20 | and the mediator is not of one, and God is one -- |
| 3:21 | the law, then, `is' against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness, |
| 3:22 | but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing. |
| 3:23 | And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed, |
| 3:24 | so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous, |
| 3:25 | and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we, |
| 3:26 | for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus, |
| 3:27 | for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ; |
| 3:28 | there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus; |
| 3:29 | and if ye `are' of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise -- heirs. |
| 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. |
| 3:1 | O ye folishe Galathias, who hath bewitched you, that ye shulde not beleue the trueth? To who Iesus Christ was descrybed before the eyes and amonge you crucified. |
| 3:2 | This onely wolde I lerne of you: Receaued ye the sprete by the dedes of the lawe, or by the preachinge of the faith? |
| 3:3 | Are ye so vnwyse? Ye beganne in the sprete, wolde ye ende now the in the flesh? |
| 3:4 | Haue ye suffred so moch in vayne? Yf it be els in vayne. |
| 3:5 | He that geueth you the sprete, and doth soch greate actes amoge you, doth he it thorow the dedes of the lawe, or by ye preachinge of the faith? |
| 3:6 | Euen as Abraha beleued God, and it was counted vnto him for righteousnes. |
| 3:7 | Thus ye knowe, that they which are of faith, are Abrahams children. |
| 3:8 | The scripture sawe afore hade, that God iustifieth the Heythen thorow faith. Therfore shewed it glad tydinges afore vnto Abraham, and sayde: In the shal all the Heythen be blessed. |
| 3:9 | So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham. |
| 3:10 | For as many as go aboute with the workes of the lawe, are vnder ye curse: For it is wrytte: Cursed be euery man, which cotynueth not in all thinges that are wrytte in the boke of the lawe, to do them. |
| 3:11 | That no man is iustified by the lawe in the sighte of God, it is euydet: For ye iust shal lyue by his faith. |
| 3:12 | The lawe is not of faith, but the ma that doth ye same, shal lyue therin. |
| 3:13 | But Christ hath delyuered vs from ye curse of the lawe, whan he became a curse for vs. (For it is wrytte: Cursed is euery man that hangeth on tre) |
| 3:14 | yt the blessynge of Abraham mighte come on the Gentyles in Christ Iesu, and yt we might so receaue ye promysed sprete, thorow faith. |
| 3:15 | Brethren, I wil speake after the maner of men. Though it be but a mas Testamet, yet no man despyseth it, or addeth eny thinge therto, whan it is confirmed. |
| 3:16 | To Abraham and his sede were the promyses made. He sayeth not: In the sedes, as in many, but in thy sede, as in one, which is Christ. |
| 3:17 | This Testament (I saye) which afore was confirmed to Christ warde, is not disanulled (that the promes shulde be made of none affecte) by the lawe which was geuen beyonde foure hundreth & thirtie yeares therafter. |
| 3:18 | For yf the enheritaunce be gotten by the lawe, then is it not geuen by promes. But God gaue it frely vnto Abraham by promes. |
| 3:19 | Wherfore the serueth the lawe? It was added because of trangression, tyll the sede came, to the which the promes was made. And it was geuen of angels, by the hande of the mediatoure. |
| 3:20 | A mediatour is not a mediatour of one onely, but God is one. |
| 3:21 | Is the lawe then agaynst the promyses of God? God forbyd. Howbeit yf there had bene geuen a lawe which coulde haue geue life, the no doute righteousnes shulde come of the lawe. |
| 3:22 | But ye scripture hath shut vp all vnder synne, that ye promes shulde come by the faith on Iesus Christ, geue vnto the that beleue. |
| 3:23 | Before faith came, we were kepte and shut vp vnder the lawe, vnto the faith which shulde afterwarde be declared. |
| 3:24 | Thus ye lawe was or scolemaster vnto Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith. |
| 3:25 | But now that faith is come, we are nomore vnder the scolemaster. |
| 3:26 | For ye all are the children of God by the faith in Christ Iesu. |
| 3:27 | For as many of you as are baptysed, haue put on Christ. |
| 3:28 | Here is nether Iewe ner Greke: here is nether bode ner fre: here is nether man ner woman, for ye are all one in Christ Iesu. |
| 3:29 | Yf ye be Christes, the are ye Abrahas sede and heyres acordynge to the promes. |
