Galatians 3
1 Foolish Galatians, who has cunningly deceived you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth as crucified?
ⲁ̅ⲱ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲫⲑⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲟϭϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ
2 I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲏ ⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
ⲅ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
ⲇ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲡϩⲁϩ ⲛϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲓⲕⲏ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲕⲏ
5 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲭⲟⲣⲏⲅⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
6 Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ
7 Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.
ⲍ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ
8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the non-Jews by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, "Through you all the nations will be blessed."
ⲏ̅ⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲣⲡ ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲕ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
ⲑ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁ ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁⲁⲩ
11 Now it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, for, "The righteous will live by faith."
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
12 The law is not of faith, but, "The one who does them will live by them."
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϣⲟⲡⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲉ
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the non-Jews through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲧⲓⲥ
15 Brothers, I am speaking in human terms. Though it is only a human covenant, once it has been ratified, no one annuls it or adds to it.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲑⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He does not say, "And to offsprings," as of many, but as of one, "And to your offspring," which is Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉ
17 Now I say this: the law, which came four hundred thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to cancel the promise.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲣⲡ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲉ ⲙⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲧⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲥϥⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲓ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲟϣϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲙⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ
20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲁ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉ
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not. For if there had been a law given which could give life, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲟ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ
22 But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲩϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
24 So that the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲇⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲁ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ϩⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲇⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ
26 For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϯ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to promise.
