Προς Γαλατας 3

1 ω ανοητοι γαλαται τις υμας εβασκανεν οις κατ οφθαλμους ιησους χριστος προεγραφη εσταυρωμενος

O senseless Galatians, who hath so bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth? you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth as crucified.

2 τουτο μονον θελω μαθειν αφ υμων εξ εργων νομου το πνευμα ελαβετε η εξ ακοης πιστεως

This only would I learn of you, Did ye receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

3 ουτως ανοητοι εστε εναρξαμενοι πνευματι νυν σαρκι επιτελεισθε

Are ye so void of understanding? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

4 τοσαυτα επαθετε εικη ει γε και εικη

have ye suffered so many things in vain? if indeed in vain.

5 ο ουν επιχορηγων υμιν το πνευμα και ενεργων δυναμεις εν υμιν εξ εργων νομου η εξ ακοης πιστεως

He therefore that imparteth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doth he it by the works of the law, or by the doctrine of faith?

6 καθως αβρααμ επιστευσεν τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην

As Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness:

7 γινωσκετε αρα οτι οι εκ πιστεως ουτοι υιοι εισιν αβρααμ

so ye know that they who believe, are the children of Abraham.

8 προιδουσα δε η γραφη οτι εκ πιστεως δικαιοι τα εθνη ο θεος προευηγγελισατο τω αβρααμ οτι ενευλογηθησονται εν σοι παντα τα εθνη

And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, preached the gospel to Abraham long ago, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

9 ωστε οι εκ πιστεως ευλογουνται συν τω πιστω αβρααμ

So then they that believe, are blessed with believing Abraham.

10 οσοι γαρ εξ εργων νομου εισιν υπο καταραν εισιν γεγραπται γαρ οτι επικαταρατος πας ος ουκ εμμενει πασιν τοις γεγραμμενοις εν τω βιβλιω του νομου του ποιησαι αυτα

For as many as are of the works of the law, are under the curse; for it is written, Cursed be every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.

11 οτι δε εν νομω ουδεις δικαιουται παρα τω θεω δηλον οτι ο δικαιος εκ πιστεως ζησεται

And that by the law no one is justified before God is evident; for it is written "The just shall live by faith:"

12 ο δε νομος ουκ εστιν εκ πιστεως αλλ ο ποιησας αυτα ζησεται εν αυτοις

now the law is not of faith, but saith, "The man that doth them, shall live in them."

13 χριστος ημας εξηγορασεν εκ της καταρας του νομου γενομενος υπερ ημων καταρα οτι γεγραπται επικαταρατος πας ο κρεμαμενος επι ξυλου

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, having been made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"

14 ινα εις τα εθνη η ευλογια του αβρααμ γενηται εν {VAR1: ιησου χριστω } {VAR2: χριστω ιησου } ινα την επαγγελιαν του πνευματος λαβωμεν δια της πιστεως

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the gentiles by Christ Jesus; that we through faith might receive the promise of the Spirit.

15 αδελφοι κατα ανθρωπον λεγω ομως ανθρωπου κεκυρωμενην διαθηκην ουδεις αθετει η επιδιατασσεται

Brethren, (I speak after the manner of men, ) no one cancelleth or addeth to a covenant which hath been ratified, though it be but the covenant of a man.

16 τω δε αβρααμ ερρεθησαν αι επαγγελιαι και τω σπερματι αυτου ου λεγει και τοις σπερμασιν ως επι πολλων αλλ ως εφ ενος και τω σπερματι σου ος εστιν χριστος

Now the promises were made to Abraham, and to his seed. He doth not say, "and to seeds," as of many; but as of one, "and to thy seed," which is Christ.

17 τουτο δε λεγω διαθηκην προκεκυρωμενην υπο του θεου ο μετα τετρακοσια και τριακοντα ετη γεγονως νομος ουκ ακυροι εις το καταργησαι την επαγγελιαν

This then I say, that the law, which was given four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul the covenant, which was so long before confirmed by God unto Christ, to make void the promise.

18 ει γαρ εκ νομου η κληρονομια ουκετι εξ επαγγελιας τω δε αβρααμ δι επαγγελιας κεχαρισται ο θεος

For if the inheritance be from the law, it is no more from the promise: whereas God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 τι ουν ο νομος των παραβασεων χαριν προσετεθη αχρις {VAR1: αν } {VAR2: ου } ελθη το σπερμα ω επηγγελται διαταγεις δι αγγελων εν χειρι μεσιτου

What then availeth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come, to whom the promise was made; and it was delivered by angels in the hand of a mediator.

20 ο δε μεσιτης ενος ουκ εστιν ο δε θεος εις εστιν

Now a mediator is not the mediator of one only; and God is but one.

21 ο ουν νομος κατα των επαγγελιων [του θεου] μη γενοιτο ει γαρ εδοθη νομος ο δυναμενος ζωοποιησαι οντως {VAR1: εν νομω } {VAR2: εκ νομου } αν ην η δικαιοσυνη

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? not at all: for if a law had been given, which could have confered life, certainly righteousness would have been by the law.

22 αλλα συνεκλεισεν η γραφη τα παντα υπο αμαρτιαν ινα η επαγγελια εκ πιστεως ιησου χριστου δοθη τοις πιστευουσιν

But the scripture hath shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 προ του δε ελθειν την πιστιν υπο νομον εφρουρουμεθα συγκλειομενοι εις την μελλουσαν πιστιν αποκαλυφθηναι

But before faith came, we were kept shut up under the law, till the faith appeared which was to be revealed.

24 ωστε ο νομος παιδαγωγος ημων γεγονεν εις χριστον ινα εκ πιστεως δικαιωθωμεν

So that the law was our guide to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 ελθουσης δε της πιστεως ουκετι υπο παιδαγωγον εσμεν

But now faith is come we are no longer under a pedagogue.

26 παντες γαρ υιοι θεου εστε δια της πιστεως εν χριστω ιησου

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

27 οσοι γαρ εις χριστον εβαπτισθητε χριστον ενεδυσασθε

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ:

28 ουκ ενι ιουδαιος ουδε ελλην ουκ ενι δουλος ουδε ελευθερος ουκ ενι αρσεν και θηλυ παντες γαρ υμεις εις εστε εν χριστω ιησου

and there is neither Jew nor Greek, those is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 ει δε υμεις χριστου αρα του αβρααμ σπερμα εστε κατ επαγγελιαν κληρονομοι

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
