Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was earlier described among you, crucified?
ⲁ̅ⲱ ⲛⲓⲁⲛⲟⲏⲧⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲃⲁⲥⲕⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲁϣϥ.
2 I only want to learn this from you. Did ye receive the Spirit from works of law, or from a listening ear of faith?
ⲃ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲉϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
3 Are ye so foolish, having begun in Spirit, are ye now made perfect by flesh?
ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲧϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲏ ⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ.
4 Did ye suffer so many things in vain? If it is indeed in vain.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲉⲡ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛϧⲓⲥⲓ ϩⲓⲕⲏ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲕⲏ.
5 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and who works miracles among you, is it from works of law or from a listening ear of faith?
ⲉ̅ⲫⲏ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛϫⲟⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ.
6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ ⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
7 Ye know therefore that those from faith, these are sons of Abraham.
ⲍ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ.
8 And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ 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.
9 So then those from faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
ⲑ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲥⲉⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ.
10 For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ 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.
11 But that no man is made righteous by law before God, is evident, because, The righteous man will live from faith.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲛⲁⲙⲁⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
12 And the law is not from faith, but the man who does them will live in them.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϣⲟⲡⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥ⳿ⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲉ.
14 So that the blessing of Abraham might occur for the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
15 Brothers (I speak according to a man), in the same way of a man, no man annuls or adds to a contract that has been ratified.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲙⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲁⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϣⲟϣϥⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲁϣⲥ.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, And to the seeds, as of many, but as of one, And to thy seed, who is Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲱϣ 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.
17 And I say this, a covenant previously confirmed by God in Christ, the law, which happened four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul in order to make the promise useless.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏ ⲕⲏ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲩ̅ⲗ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱϣ.
18 For if the inheritance is from law, it is no longer from promise. But God has given it to Abraham through promise.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲓⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣ.
19 Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the seed would come to whom it was promised, which was arranged through agents in the hand of a mediator.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲭⲁϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱϣ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲑⲁϣϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ.
20 Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲓⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ.
21 Is the law therefore against the promises of God? May it not happen! For if a law was given that could make alive, truly righteousness would be from law.
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.
22 But scripture confined all things under sin, so that the promise from faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲥ⳿ϣⲑⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
23 But before faith came we were kept in custody under law, having been confined for faith that was going to be revealed.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲁⲩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲁϣⲑⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϣⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
24 So that the law became our schoolmaster for Christ, so that we might be made righteous from faith.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲣϭⲁⲩⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲙⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
25 But faith having come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

26 For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ.

28 There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no bondman nor freeman, there is no male and female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye are Christ's, then ye are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.
