1. O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?
|
1. O G5599 foolish G453 Galatians G1052 , who G5101 hath bewitched G940 you G5209 , that ye should not G3361 obey G3982 the G3588 truth G225 , before G2596 whose G3739 eyes G3788 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 hath been evidently set forth G4270 , crucified G4717 among G1722 you G5213 ?
|
|
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?
|
2. This G5124 only G3440 would G2309 I learn G3129 of G575 you G5216 , Received G2983 ye the G3588 Spirit G4151 by G1537 the works G2041 of the law G3551 , or G2228 by G1537 the hearing G189 of faith G4102 ?
|
|
3. so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end?
|
3. Are G2075 ye so G3779 foolish G453 ? having begun G1728 in the Spirit G4151 , are ye now G3568 made perfect G2005 by the flesh G4561 ?
|
|
4. so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.
|
4. Have ye suffered G3958 so many things G5118 in vain G1500 ? if G1489 it be yet G2532 in vain G1500 .
|
|
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?
|
5. He therefore that ministereth G2023 G3767 to you G5213 the G3588 Spirit G4151 , and G2532 worketh G1754 miracles G1411 among G1722 you G5213 , doeth he it by G1537 the works G2041 of the law G3551 , or G2228 by G1537 the hearing G189 of faith G4102 ?
|
|
6. according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;
|
6. Even as G2531 Abraham G11 believed G4100 God G2316 , and G2532 it was accounted G3049 to him G846 for G1519 righteousness G1343 .
|
|
7. know ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of Abraham,
|
7. Know G1097 ye therefore G686 that G3754 they G3588 which are of G1537 faith G4102 , the same G3778 are G1526 the children G5207 of Abraham G11 .
|
|
8. and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham --
|
8. And G1161 the G3588 Scripture G1124 , foreseeing G4275 that G3754 God G2316 would justify G1344 the G3588 heathen G1484 through G1537 faith G4102 , preached before the gospel G4283 unto Abraham G11 , saying, In G1722 thee G4671 shall all G3956 nations G1484 be blessed G1757 .
|
|
9. `Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;` so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,
|
9. So then G5620 they G3588 which be of G1537 faith G4102 are blessed G2127 with G4862 faithful G4103 Abraham G11 .
|
|
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,`
|
10. For G1063 as many as G3745 are G1526 of G1537 the works G2041 of the law G3551 are G1526 under G5259 the curse G2671 : for G1063 it is written G1125 , Cursed G1944 is every one G3956 that G3739 continueth G1696 not G3756 in G1722 all things G3956 which are written G1125 in G1722 the G3588 book G975 of the G3588 law G3551 to do G4160 them G846 .
|
|
11. and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because `The righteous by faith shall live;`
|
11. But G1161 that G3754 no man G3762 is justified G1344 by G1722 the law G3551 in the sight G3844 of God G2316 , it is evident G1212 : for G3754 , The G3588 just G1342 shall live G2198 by G1537 faith G4102 .
|
|
12. and the law is not by faith, but -- `The man who did them shall live in them.`
|
12. And G1161 the G3588 law G3551 is G2076 not G3756 of G1537 faith G4102 : but G235 , The G3588 man G444 that doeth G4160 them G846 shall live G2198 in G1722 them G846 .
|
|
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,`
|
13. Christ G5547 hath redeemed G1805 us G2248 from G1537 the G3588 curse G2671 of the G3588 law G3551 , being made G1096 a curse G2671 for G5228 us G2257 : for G1063 it is written G1125 , Cursed G1944 is every one G3956 that hangeth G2910 on G1909 a tree G3586 :
|
|
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.
|
14. That G2443 the G3588 blessing G2129 of Abraham G11 might come G1096 on G1519 the G3588 Gentiles G1484 through G1722 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 ; that G2443 we might receive G2983 the G3588 promise G1860 of the G3588 Spirit G4151 through G1223 faith G4102 .
|
|
15. Brethren, as a man I say it, even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,
|
15. Brethren G80 , I speak G3004 after the manner G2596 of men G444 ; Though G3676 it be but a man G444 's covenant G1242 , yet if it be confirmed G2964 , no man G3762 disannulleth G114 , or G2228 addeth thereto G1928 .
|
|
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;
|
16. Now G1161 to Abraham G11 and G2532 his G846 seed G4690 were the G3588 promises G1860 made G4483 . He saith G3004 not G3756 , And G2532 to seeds G4690 , as G5613 of G1909 many G4183 ; but G235 as G5613 of G1909 one G1520 , And G2532 to thy G4675 seed G4690 , which G3739 is G2076 Christ G5547 .
|
|
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,
|
17. And G1161 this G5124 I say G3004 , that the covenant G1242 , that was confirmed before G4300 of G5259 God G2316 in G1519 Christ G5547 , the G3588 law G3551 , which was G1096 four hundred G5071 and G2532 thirty G5144 years G2094 after G3326 , cannot disannul G208 G3756 , that it should make the promise of none effect G2673 G3588 G1860 .
|
|
18. for if by law be the inheritance, it is no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant it.
|
18. For G1063 if G1487 the G3588 inheritance G2817 be of G1537 the law G3551 , it is no more G3765 of G1537 promise G1860 : but G1161 God G2316 gave G5483 it to Abraham G11 by G1223 promise G1860 .
|
|
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 --
|
19. Wherefore G5101 then G3767 serveth the G3588 law G3551 ? It was added G4369 because G5484 of transgressions G3847 , till G891 G3757 the G3588 seed G4690 should come G2064 to whom G3739 the promise was made G1861 ; and it was ordained G1299 by G1223 angels G32 in G1722 the hand G5495 of a mediator G3316 .
|
|
20. and the mediator is not of one, and God is one --
|
20. Now G1161 a mediator G3316 is G2076 not G3756 a mediator of one G1520 , but G1161 God G2316 is G2076 one G1520 .
|
|
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,
|
21. Is the G3588 law G3551 then G3767 against G2596 the G3588 promises G1860 of God G2316 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 : for G1063 if G1487 there had been a law G3551 given G1325 which could G1410 have given life G2227 , verily G3689 G302 righteousness G1343 should have been G2258 by G1537 the law G3551 .
|
|
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.
|
22. But G235 the G3588 Scripture G1124 hath concluded G4788 all G3956 under G5259 sin G266 , that G2443 the G3588 promise G1860 by G1537 faith G4102 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 might be given G1325 to them that believe G4100 .
|
|
23. And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,
|
23. But G1161 before faith G4102 came G2064 , we were kept G5432 under G5259 the law G3551 , shut up G4788 unto G1519 the G3588 faith G4102 which should afterwards G3195 be revealed G601 .
|
|
24. so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,
|
24. Wherefore G5620 the G3588 law G3551 was G1096 our G2257 schoolmaster G3807 to bring us unto G1519 Christ G5547 , that G2443 we might be justified G1344 by G1537 faith G4102 .
|
|
25. and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,
|
25. But G1161 after that faith G4102 is come G2064 , we are G2070 no longer G3765 under G5259 a schoolmaster G3807 .
|
|
26. for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,
|
26. For G1063 ye are G2075 all G3956 the children G5207 of God G2316 by G1223 faith G4102 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
27. for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;
|
27. For G1063 as many G3745 of you as have been baptized G907 into G1519 Christ G5547 have put on G1746 Christ G5547 .
|
|
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;
|
28. There is G1762 neither G3756 Jew G2453 nor G3761 Greek G1672 , there is G1762 neither G3756 bond G1401 nor G3761 free G1658 , there is G1762 neither G3756 male G730 nor G2532 female G2338 : for G1063 ye G5210 are G2075 all G3956 one G1520 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
29. and if ye are of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise -- heirs.
|
29. And G1161 if G1487 ye G5210 be Christ G5547 's, then G686 are G2075 ye Abraham G11 's seed G4690 , and G2532 heirs G2818 according G2596 to the promise G1860 .
