Galatians 3:1-15

Galatians 3:1-15

King James Version (KJV)

Galatians 3

 ¹O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
 ²This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
 ³Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
 ⁴Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
 ⁵He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
 ⁶Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
 ⁷Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
 ⁸And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
 ⁹So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
 ¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
 ¹¹But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
 ¹²And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
 ¹³Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
 ¹⁴That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
 ¹⁵Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
