Galatians 3

1 O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified [among you]?

O 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?

2 This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?

This only would I learne of you, Receiued ye the Spirit by the workes of the Lawe, or by the hearing of faith preached?

3 Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?

Are ye so foolish, that after ye haue begun in the Spirit, ye would now be made perfect by the flesh?

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?

Haue ye suffered so many things in vaine? if so be it be euen in vaine.

5 He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, [is it] on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?

He 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?

6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

Yea rather as Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed to him for righteousnes.

7 Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;

Knowe ye therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

For 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.

9 So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham.

10 For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;

For 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.

11 but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;

And that no man is iustified by the Law in the sight of God, it is euident: for the iust shall liue by faith.

12 but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

And the Lawe is not of faith: but the man that shall doe those things, shall liue in them.

13 Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree, )

Christ 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)

14 that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Iesus, that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirite through faith.

15 Brethren, (I speak according to man, ) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.

Brethren, 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.

16 But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.

Nowe 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.

17 Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

And 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.

18 For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.

For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise.

19 Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.

Wherefore 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.

20 But a mediator is not of one, but God is one.

Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one.

21 [Is] then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

Is 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.

22 but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should be giuen to them that beleeue.

23 But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.

But before faith came, we were kept vnder the Law, as vnder a garison, and shut vp vnto that faith, which should afterward be reueiled.

24 So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.

Wherefore the Lawe was our scholemaster to bring vs to Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith.

25 But, faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;

But after that faith is come, we are no longer vnder a scholemaster.

26 for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.

For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus.

27 For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.

For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue 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:

There 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.

29 but if ye [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.

And if ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heires by promise.
