Galatians 3:1-9 ▼

1 O foolish Galatians! Who bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified?

2 This only do I wish to learn of you: Did ye receive the Spirit by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

3 Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now being made perfect in the flesh?

4 Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if, indeed, it be even in vain.

5 Does He, therefore, Who was supplying to you the Spirit, and was working miracles among you, doing it by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

7 Know, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, proclaimed beforehand the Gospel to Abraham, saying , "In you shall all the nations be blessed."

9 So that those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
