Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you? before whose eyes Jesus Christ was plainly set forth among you crucified.
ⲁ̅ⲱ̅ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲏⲥ. ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲫⲑⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲗ. ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲧⲟϭϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅.
2 This only I desire to learn from you: Was it from the works of the Law that ye received the Spirit, or by the preaching of faith?
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲉϣⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
3 Are ye so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, do ye now end with the flesh?
ⲅ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅.
4 Have ye suffered so much in vain? if indeed it be really in vain.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲓⲕⲏ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲓⲕⲏ
5 Doth he then who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by the preaching of faith?
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲭⲟⲣⲏⲅⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲛ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
6 Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness.”
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
7 Know then that they who have faith, these are the sons of Abraham.
ⲍ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ.
8 Moreover the Scripture, foreseeing that God was to accept the gentiles as righteous by faith, proclaimed beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham, saying, “In thee shall all nations be blessed.”
ⲏ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲉⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲣⲡ̅ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
9 So then they who have faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
ⲑ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ.
10 For as many as rely on the works of the Law are under a 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.”
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ. ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁⲁⲩ.
11 But further, that through the observance of the Law no one is accepted as righteous with God is evident; for “the righteous shall live by faith.”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
12 And the Law hath nothing to do with faith; but [[its language is]], “He that hath done them shall live in them.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, “Cursed is every one that is hanged on a beam of wood,”—
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲟⲡⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ. ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲉ.
14 to the end that in Christ Jesus the blessing promised to Abraham might come to the gentiles, that we through faith might receive the Spirit which was promised.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ·
15 Brethren, I speak according to what is practised among men; no one sets aside even a human covenant, or makes additions to it, after it has been ratified.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ. ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲑⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
16 But the promises were made to Abraham and “to his offspring.” He doth not say, “and to offsprings,” as speaking of many, but, as speaking of one, “and to thy offspring,” which is Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ. ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
17 And what I mean is this; that a covenant that was before ratified by God, the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, cannot annul, so as to make void the promise;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲣⲡ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ. ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲉ ⲙⲁⲁⲃ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁⲧⲥ̅ⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲥϥ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ.
18 for if the inheritance cometh from the Law, it ceaseth to be the consequence of the promise; but to Abraham God gave it by promise.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ.
19 To what end then was the Law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise belongeth, having been ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲓ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲟϣϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ.
20 Now no mediator is a mediator of one; but God is one.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉ.
21 Is then the Law against the promises of God? Far be it! For if a law had been given which was able to give life, righteousness would indeed have been by the Law;
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϯⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲟ. ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ.
22 but the Scripture shut up all under sin, that the blessing promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the Law, shut up unto the faith which was to be revealed.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
24 So then the Law hath been our schoolmaster, to lead us to Christ, that we might be accepted as righteous through faith;
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲇⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
25 but faith having come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲁⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲁⲓⲇⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ.
26 For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓⲥ̅·
27 for as many of you as were baptized into Christ, did put on Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus;
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓⲥ̅.
29 and if ye belong to Christ, then are ye Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise.
