O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you not be persuaded by the Truth—Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as having been crucified, before your very eyes!

Just tell me one thing: Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by hearing of faith?
Can you be so foolish? Having begun in spirit, do you finish in flesh?
Have you suffered so much for nothing—if it really was for nothing?
5 ⲉ̅ ⲫⲏ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛϫⲟⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ.
Furthermore, He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, is He activated by works of law, or by hearing of faith?—
just as Abraham ‘believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.’
Now you must know that only those who are of faith are ‘sons’ of Abraham.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
Further, the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, proclaimed the Gospel in advance to Abraham: “All the nations will be blessed through you.”
So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the faithful.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲉⲭⲏ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥ⳿ⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲟϩⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏ ⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ.
Now as many as are ‘by works of law’ are under a curse; because it stands written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things written in the Book of the Law, to do them.”
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲛⲁⲙⲁⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
Further, it is evident that no one is justified by law before God, because “the righteous one will live by faith.”
While the law is not of faith but, “the man who does them will live by them.”
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϣⲟⲡⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥ⳿ⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲉ.
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse in our place—because it stands written, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree”—
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations/Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲙⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲁⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϣⲟϣϥⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲁϣⲥ.
Brothers: as a man I speak a covenant; though only of a man, once it has been ratified no one annuls or adds to it.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲉⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲉⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
But to Abraham were spoken the promises, and to his Seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as about many, but “and to your seed,” as about one, who is Christ.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏ ⲕⲏ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲩ̅ⲗ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱϣ.
Further, I say this: a covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ cannot be annulled by the law that came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to make the promise of no effect.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲓⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣ.
For if the inheritance were of law, it would no longer be of promise, but God granted it to Abraham by promise.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲭⲁϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱϣ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲑⲁϣϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ.
Why then the law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the Seed should come to whom the inheritance had been promised; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a mediator.
(Now that mediator is not for just one, but God is one.)
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϧⲟ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ.
Is the law then against the promises of God? Of course not! Rather, if a law had been given that was capable of imparting life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲥ⳿ϣⲑⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲁⲩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲁϣⲑⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϣⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
Now before this faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, in confinement until the coming faith was revealed.
So then, the law became our guardian until Christ, so that we might be justified by faith.
Now that the faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
So all of you are sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus.
As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
—there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no ‘male and female’; all of you are one in Christ Jesus—
so if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
