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 insensati Galatæ, quis vos fascinavit non obedire veritati, ante quorum oculos Iesus Christus præscriptus est, in vobis crucifixus?
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?
Hoc solum a vobis volo discere: Ex operibus legis Spiritum accepistis, an ex auditu fidei?
3 Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?
Sic stulti estis, ut cum spiritu cœperitis, nunc carne consummemini?
4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?
Tanta passi estis sine causa? si tamen sine causa.
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?
Qui ergo tribuit vobis Spiritum, et operatur virtutes in vobis: ex operibus legis, an ex auditu fidei?
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
Sicut scriptum est: Abraham credidit Deo, et reputatum est illi ad iustitiam.
7 Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;
Cognoscite ergo quia qui ex fide sunt, ii sunt filii Abrahæ.
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.
Providens autem Scriptura quia ex fide iustificat Gentes Deus, prænunciavit Abrahæ: Quia benedicentur in te omnes Gentes.
9 So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
Igitur qui ex fide sunt, benedicentur cum fideli 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;
Quicumque enim ex operibus legis sunt, sub maledicto sunt. Scriptum est enim: Maledictus omnis, qui non permanserit in omnibus, quæ scripta sunt in Libro legis ut faciat ea.
11 but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;
Quoniam autem in lege nemo iustificatur apud Deum, manifestum est: quia iustus ex fide vivit.
12 but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.
Lex autem non est ex fide, sed, Qui fecerit ea, vivet in illis.
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, )
Christus nos redemit de maledicto legis, factus pro nobis maledictum: quia scriptum est: Maledictus omnis qui pendet in ligno:
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.
ut in Gentibus benedictio Abrahæ fieret in Christo Iesu, ut pollicitationem Spiritus accipiamus per fidem.
15 Brethren, (I speak according to man, ) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.
Fratres (secundum hominem dico) tamen hominis confirmatum testamentum nemo spernit, aut superordinat.
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.
Abrahæ dictæ sunt promissiones, et semini eius. Non dicit: Et seminibus, quasi in multis: sed quasi in uno: Et semini tuo, qui est Christus.
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.
Hoc autem dico, testamentum confirmatum a Deo: quæ post quadringentos et triginta annos facta est Lex, non irritum facit ad evacuandam promissionem.
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.
Nam si ex lege hereditas, iam non ex promissione. Abrahæ autem per repromissionem donavit Deus.
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.
Quid igitur lex? Propter transgressiones posita est donec veniret semen, cui promiserat, ordinata per angelos in manu mediatoris.
20 But a mediator is not of one, but God is one.
Mediator autem unius non est: Deus autem unus est.
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;
Lex ergo adversus promissa Dei? Absit. Si enim data esset lex, quæ posset vivificare, vere ex lege esset iustitia.
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.
Sed conclusit Scriptura omnia sub peccato, ut promissio ex fide Iesu Christi daretur credentibus.
23 But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.
Prius autem quam veniret fides, sub lege custodiebamur conclusi in eam fidem, quæ revelanda erat.
24 So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.
Itaque lex pædagogus noster fuit in Christo, ut ex fide iustificemur.
25 But, faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;
At ubi venit fides, iam non sumus sub pædagogo.
26 for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.
Omnes enim filii Dei estis per fidem, quæ est in Christo Iesu.
27 For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.
Quicumque enim in Christo baptizati estis, Christum induistis.
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:
Non est Iudæus, neque Græcus: non est servus, neque liber: non est masculus, neque femina. Omnes enim vos unum estis in Christo Iesu.
29 but if ye [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.
Si autem vos Christi: ergo semen Abrahæ estis, secundum promissionem heredes.
