Galatians 3 — GNV
3Verse 1O 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?Verse 2This only would I learne of you, Receiued ye the Spirit by the workes of the Lawe, or by the hearing of faith preached?Verse 3Are ye so foolish, that after ye haue begun in the Spirit, ye would now be made perfect by the flesh?Verse 4Haue ye suffered so many things in vaine? if so be it be euen in vaine.Verse 5He 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?Verse 6Yea rather as Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed to him for righteousnes.Verse 7Knowe ye therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.Verse 8For 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.Verse 9So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham.Verse 10For 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.Verse 11And that no man is iustified by the Law in the sight of God, it is euident: for the iust shall liue by faith.Verse 12And the Lawe is not of faith: but the man that shall doe those things, shall liue in them.Verse 13Christ 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)Verse 14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Iesus, that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirite through faith.Verse 15Brethren, 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.Verse 16Nowe 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.Verse 17And 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.Verse 18For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise.Verse 19Wherefore 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.Verse 20Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one.Verse 21Is 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.Verse 22But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should be giuen to them that beleeue.Verse 23But before faith came, we were kept vnder the Law, as vnder a garison, and shut vp vnto that faith, which should afterward be reueiled.Verse 24Wherefore the Lawe was our scholemaster to bring vs to Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith.Verse 25But after that faith is come, we are no longer vnder a scholemaster.Verse 26For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus.Verse 27For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ.Verse 28There 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.Verse 29And if ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heires by promise.
