O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes YAHUSHUA Messiah was openly set forth crucified? |
2 |
This only would I learn from you. Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
3 |
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh? |
4 |
Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain. |
5 |
He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
6 |
Even as Abraham believed YAHUVEH, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. |
7 |
Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. |
8 |
And the scripture, foreseeing that YAHUVEH would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the evangel beforehand unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed. |
9 |
So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. |
10 |
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them. |
11 |
Now that no man is justified by the law before YAHUVEH, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; |
12 |
and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them. |
13 |
Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: |
14 |
that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Messiah YAHUSHUA; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. |
15 |
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: Though it be but a man's covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto. |
16 |
Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Messiah. |
17 |
Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by YAHUVEH, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect. |
18 |
For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but YAHUVEH hath granted it to Abraham by promise. |
19 |
What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; and it was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. |
20 |
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one; but YAHUVEH is one. |
21 |
Is the law then against the promises of YAHUVEH? YAHUVEH forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law. |
22 |
But the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in YAHUSHUA the Messiah might be given to them that believe. |
23 |
But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. |
24 |
So that the law is become our tutor to bring us unto Messiah, that we might be justified by faith. |
25 |
But now faith that is come, we are no longer under a tutor. |
26 |
For ye are all sons of YAHUVEH, through faith, in Messiah YAHUSHUA. |
27 |
For as many of you as were baptized into Messiah did put on Messiah. |
28 |
There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one man in Messiah YAHUSHUA. |
29 |
And if ye are Messiah's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise. |
