Galatians 3
1 O FOOLISH Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
ⲁ̅ⲱ ⲛⲓⲁⲛⲟⲏⲧⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲃⲁⲥⲕⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲁϣϥ.
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲧϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲏ ⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ.
4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing 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 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ ⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
ⲍ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations 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 they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
ⲑ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲥⲉⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are 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 justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by 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 of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth 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 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲙⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲁⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϣⲟϣϥⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲁϣⲥ.
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which 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 this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
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 be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by 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 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels 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 a mediator of one, but God is one.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲓⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the 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 the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that 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 under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲁⲩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲁϣⲑⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϣⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
