Galatians, Chapter 3,  verses 1-14

1 Faith Brings Righteousness
1 a Lit OYou foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? 2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works ofb Or lawthe Law, or byc Lit the hearing of faithhearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begund Or withby the Spirit, are you nowe Or ending withbeing perfected by the flesh? 4 Did youf Or experiencesuffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and worksg Or works of powermiracles among you, do it by the works ofh Or lawthe Law, or byi Lit the hearing of faithhearing with faith?
6 j Lit Just asEven so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Therefore,k Lit knowbe sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that Godl Lit justifieswould justify them Lit nationsGentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed withn Lit the believing AbrahamAbraham, the believer.
10 For as many as are of the works ofo Or lawthe Law are under a curse; for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM.” 11 Now that no one is justifiedp Or inbyq Or lawthe Law before God is evident; for, “r Or But he who is righteous by faith shall liveTHE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” 12 s Or AndHowever, the Law is nott Or based onof faith; on the contrary, “HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVEu Or inBY THEM.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON Av Or cross; lit woodTREE”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham mightw Or occurcome to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
