Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
ω ανοητοι γαλαται τις υμας εβασκανεν τη αληθεια μη πειθεσθαι οις κατ οφθαλμους ιησους χριστος προεγραφη εν υμιν εσταυρωμενος
2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
τουτο μονον θελω μαθειν αφ υμων εξ εργων νομου το πνευμα ελαβετε η εξ ακοης πιστεως
3 Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
ουτως ανοητοι εστε εναρξαμενοι πνευματι νυν σαρκι επιτελεισθε
4 Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
τοσαυτα επαθετε εικη ειγε και εικη
5 Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
ο ουν επιχορηγων υμιν το πνευμα και ενεργων δυναμεις εν υμιν εξ εργων νομου η εξ ακοης πιστεως
6 So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
καθως αβρααμ επιστευσεν τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
γινωσκετε αρα οτι οι εκ πιστεως ουτοι εισιν υιοι αβρααμ
8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
προιδουσα δε η γραφη οτι εκ πιστεως δικαιοι τα εθνη ο θεος προευηγγελισατο τω αβρααμ οτι ενευλογηθησονται εν σοι παντα τα εθνη
9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
ωστε οι εκ πιστεως ευλογουνται συν τω πιστω αβρααμ
10 All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
οσοι γαρ εξ εργων νομου εισιν υπο καταραν εισιν γεγραπται γαρ επικαταρατος πας ος ουκ εμμενει εν πασιν τοις γεγραμμενοις εν τω βιβλιω του νομου του ποιησαι αυτα
11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
οτι δε εν νομω ουδεις δικαιουται παρα τω θεω δηλον οτι ο δικαιος εκ πιστεως ζησεται
12 The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
ο δε νομος ουκ εστιν εκ πιστεως αλλ ο ποιησας αυτα ανθρωπος ζησεται εν αυτοις
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
χριστος ημας εξηγορασεν εκ της καταρας του νομου γενομενος υπερ ημων καταρα γεγραπται γαρ επικαταρατος πας ο κρεμαμενος επι ξυλου
14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
ινα εις τα εθνη η ευλογια του αβρααμ γενηται εν χριστω ιησου ινα την επαγγελιαν του πνευματος λαβωμεν δια της πιστεως
15 Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
αδελφοι κατα ανθρωπον λεγω ομως ανθρωπου κεκυρωμενην διαθηκην ουδεις αθετει η επιδιατασσεται
16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
τω δε αβρααμ ερρηθησαν αι επαγγελιαι και τω σπερματι αυτου ου λεγει και τοις σπερμασιν ως επι πολλων αλλ ως εφ ενος και τω σπερματι σου ος εστιν χριστος
17 What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.
τουτο δε λεγω διαθηκην προκεκυρωμενην υπο του θεου εις χριστον ο μετα ετη τετρακοσια και τριακοντα γεγονως νομος ουκ ακυροι εις το καταργησαι την επαγγελιαν
18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
ει γαρ εκ νομου η κληρονομια ουκετι εξ επαγγελιας τω δε αβρααμ δι επαγγελιας κεχαρισται ο θεος
19 Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.
τι ουν ο νομος των παραβασεων χαριν προσετεθη αχρις ου ελθη το σπερμα ω επηγγελται διαταγεις δι αγγελων εν χειρι μεσιτου
20 A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
ο δε μεσιτης ενος ουκ εστιν ο δε θεος εις εστιν
21 Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
ο ουν νομος κατα των επαγγελιων του θεου μη γενοιτο ει γαρ εδοθη νομος ο δυναμενος ζωοποιησαι οντως αν εκ νομου ην η δικαιοσυνη
22 But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.
αλλα συνεκλεισεν η γραφη τα παντα υπο αμαρτιαν ινα η επαγγελια εκ πιστεως ιησου χριστου δοθη τοις πιστευουσιν
23 Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
προ του δε ελθειν την πιστιν υπο νομον εφρουρουμεθα συγκεκλεισμενοι εις την μελλουσαν πιστιν αποκαλυφθηναι
24 So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
ωστε ο νομος παιδαγωγος ημων γεγονεν εις χριστον ινα εκ πιστεως δικαιωθωμεν
25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
ελθουσης δε της πιστεως ουκετι υπο παιδαγωγον εσμεν
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
παντες γαρ υιοι θεου εστε δια της πιστεως εν χριστω ιησου
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
οσοι γαρ εις χριστον εβαπτισθητε χριστον ενεδυσασθε
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
ουκ ενι ιουδαιος ουδε ελλην ουκ ενι δουλος ουδε ελευθερος ουκ ενι αρσεν και θηλυ παντες γαρ υμεις εις εστε εν χριστω ιησου
29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
ει δε υμεις χριστου αρα του αβρααμ σπερμα εστε και κατ επαγγελιαν κληρονομοι
