Galatians 3:1-9 ▼

1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you⁺? Before your very eyes Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One) was clearly portrayed as crucified.

2 I would like to learn just one thing from you⁺: Did you⁺ receive the Spirit {Pneuma} by works (acts) of the law, or by hearing with faith?

3 Are you⁺ so foolish? After starting in the Spirit {Pneumati}, are you⁺ now finishing in the flesh?

4 Have you⁺ suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?

5 Does God lavish His Spirit {Pneuma} on you⁺ and work miracles {dynameis} among you⁺ because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?

6 So also, “Abraham (father of many) believed (had faith) God {Theō}, and it was credited to him as righteousness .”

7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham (father of many).

8 The Scripture foresaw that God {Theos} would justify the Gentiles {ethnē} by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham (father of many): “All nations will be blessed through you .”

9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham (father of many), the man of faith.
