Galatians 3

About Galatians Galatians defends the freedom of the gospel: people are made right with God by faith, not by the law.

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?SelectedGalatians 3:1Ask

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?SelectedGalatians 3:2Ask

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?SelectedGalatians 3:3Ask

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.SelectedGalatians 3:4Ask

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?SelectedGalatians 3:5Ask

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.SelectedGalatians 3:6Ask

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.SelectedGalatians 3:7Ask

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.SelectedGalatians 3:8Ask

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.SelectedGalatians 3:9Ask

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.SelectedGalatians 3:10Ask

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.SelectedGalatians 3:11Ask

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.SelectedGalatians 3:12Ask

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:SelectedGalatians 3:13Ask

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.SelectedGalatians 3:14Ask

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.SelectedGalatians 3:15Ask

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.SelectedGalatians 3:16Ask

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.SelectedGalatians 3:17Ask

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.SelectedGalatians 3:18Ask

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.SelectedGalatians 3:19Ask

Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.SelectedGalatians 3:20Ask

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.SelectedGalatians 3:21Ask

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.SelectedGalatians 3:22Ask

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.SelectedGalatians 3:23Ask

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.SelectedGalatians 3:24Ask

But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.SelectedGalatians 3:25Ask

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.SelectedGalatians 3:26Ask

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.SelectedGalatians 3:27Ask

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.SelectedGalatians 3:28Ask

And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.SelectedGalatians 3:29Ask
