1O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before [your] eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed [as] crucified. 1Ὦ ἀνόητοι Γαλάται τίς ὑμᾶς ἐβάσκανεν ⧼τῇ ἀληθείᾳ μὴ πείθεσθαι⧽ οἷς κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς προεγράφη ἐσταυρωμένος
2I would like to learn just [one thing] from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 2τοῦτο μόνον θέλω μαθεῖν ἀφ’ ὑμῶν ἐξ ἔργων νόμου τὸ Πνεῦμα ἐλάβετε ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως
3Are you so foolish? After starting in [the] Spirit, are you now finishing in [the] flesh? 3Οὕτως ἀνόητοί ἐστε ἐναρξάμενοι Πνεύματι νῦν σαρκὶ ἐπιτελεῖσθε
4Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing? 4τοσαῦτα ἐπάθετε εἰκῇ εἴ γε καὶ εἰκῇ
5{Does} [God] lavish [His] Spirit on you and work miracles among you because [you] practice the Law, or because [you] hear [and] believe? 5ὁ οὖν ἐπιχορηγῶν ὑμῖν τὸ Πνεῦμα καὶ ἐνεργῶν δυνάμεις ἐν ὑμῖν ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως
6So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 6Καθὼς Ἀβραὰμ ἐπίστευσεν τῷ Θεῷ καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην
7Understand, then, that those who have faith are [the] sons of Abraham. 7Γινώσκετε ἄρα ὅτι οἱ ἐκ πίστεως οὗτοι υἱοί εἰσιν Ἀβραάμ
8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, [and] foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 8προϊδοῦσα δὲ ἡ γραφὴ ὅτι ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοῖ τὰ ἔθνη ὁ Θεὸς προευηγγελίσατο τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ὅτι Ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη
9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the [man] of faith. 9ὥστε οἱ ἐκ πίστεως εὐλογοῦνται σὺν τῷ πιστῷ Ἀβραάμ
10All who rely on works of the Law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed [is] everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 10Ὅσοι γὰρ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσὶν ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι Ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὃς οὐκ ἐμμένει πᾶσιν τοῖς γεγραμμένοις ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτά
11And it is clear that no one is justified before God by [the] Law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.” 11ὅτι δὲ ἐν νόμῳ οὐδεὶς δικαιοῦται παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ δῆλον ὅτι Ὁ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται
12The Law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The [man who] does these things will live by them.” 12ὁ δὲ νόμος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ πίστεως ἀλλ’ Ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς
13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed [is] everyone who is hung on a tree.” 13Χριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάρα ὅτι γέγραπται Ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κρεμάμενος ἐπὶ ξύλου
14[He redeemed us] in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. 14ἵνα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη ἡ εὐλογία τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ γένηται ἐν Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ ἵνα τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ Πνεύματος λάβωμεν διὰ τῆς πίστεως
15Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended. 15Ἀδελφοί κατὰ ἄνθρωπον λέγω ὅμως ἀνθρώπου κεκυρωμένην διαθήκην οὐδεὶς ἀθετεῖ ἢ ἐπιδιατάσσεται
16The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. [The Scripture ] does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ. 16τῷ δὲ Ἀβραὰμ ἐρρέθησαν αἱ ἐπαγγελίαι καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ οὐ λέγει Καὶ τοῖς σπέρμασιν ὡς ἐπὶ πολλῶν ἀλλ’ ὡς ἐφ’ ἑνός Καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου ὅς ἐστιν Χριστός
17What I mean [is] this: [The] Law that came 430 {} years later does not revoke [the] covenant previously established by God, so as to cancel the promise. 17Τοῦτο δὲ λέγω διαθήκην προκεκυρωμένην ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ μετὰ τετρακόσια καὶ τριάκοντα ἔτη γεγονὼς νόμος οὐκ ἀκυροῖ εἰς τὸ καταργῆσαι τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν
18For if the inheritance depends on [the] Law, [then it] no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted [it] to Abraham through a promise. 18εἰ γὰρ ἐκ νόμου ἡ κληρονομία οὐκέτι ἐξ ἐπαγγελίας τῷ δὲ Ἀβραὰμ δι’ ἐπαγγελίας κεχάρισται ὁ Θεός
19Why then [ was ] the Law [ given ]? It was added because of transgressions, until [the] arrival of the seed to whom [the] promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator. 19Τί οὖν ὁ νόμος τῶν παραβάσεων χάριν προσετέθη ἄχρις οὗ* ἔλθῃ τὸ σπέρμα ᾧ ἐπήγγελται διαταγεὶς δι’ ἀγγέλων ἐν χειρὶ μεσίτου
20A mediator is unnecessary, however, [ if there is only ] one [ party ]; but God is one. 20ὁ δὲ μεσίτης ἑνὸς οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ δὲ Θεὸς εἷς ἐστιν
21[Is] the Law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness {would} certainly have come from [the] Law. 21Ὁ οὖν νόμος κατὰ τῶν ἐπαγγελιῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ μὴ γένοιτο εἰ γὰρ ἐδόθη νόμος ὁ δυνάμενος ζωοποιῆσαι ὄντως ἐκ νόμου ἂν ἦν ἡ δικαιοσύνη
22But the Scripture [ pronounces ] all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe. 22ἀλλὰ συνέκλεισεν ἡ γραφὴ τὰ πάντα ὑπὸ ἁμαρτίαν ἵνα ἡ ἐπαγγελία ἐκ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δοθῇ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν
23Before [this] faith came, we were held in custody under the Law, locked up until faith should be revealed. 23Πρὸ τοῦ δὲ ἐλθεῖν τὴν πίστιν ὑπὸ νόμον ἐφρουρούμεθα συνκλειόμενοι εἰς τὴν μέλλουσαν πίστιν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι
24So the Law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 24ὥστε ὁ νόμος παιδαγωγὸς ἡμῶν γέγονεν εἰς Χριστόν ἵνα ἐκ πίστεως δικαιωθῶμεν
25Now [that] faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. 25ἐλθούσης δὲ τῆς πίστεως οὐκέτι ὑπὸ παιδαγωγόν ἐσμεν
26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 26Πάντες γὰρ υἱοὶ Θεοῦ ἐστε διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
27For all of you [who] were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 27ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς Χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε Χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε
28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male [nor] female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 28οὐκ ἔνι Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed [and] heirs according to [the] promise. 29εἰ δὲ ὑμεῖς Χριστοῦ ἄρα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ σπέρμα ἐστέ κατ’ ἐπαγγελίαν κληρονόμοι
