Galatians 3 (WEBP)

[1] Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified?
[2] I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
[3] Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
[4] Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
[5] He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
[6] Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
[7] Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.
[8] The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”
[9] So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
[10] For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
[11] Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
[12] The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”
[13] Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”
[14] that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
[15] Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds to it.
[16] Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.
[17] Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
[18] For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
[19] Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
[20] Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
[21] Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
[22] But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
[23] But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
[24] So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
[25] But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
[26] For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
[27] For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
[28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
[29] If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.

Galatians 3 (KJVS)

[1] 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?
[2] This only would () I learn () of you, Received ye () the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
[3] Are ye () so foolish? having begun () in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect () by the flesh?
[4] Have ye suffered () so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
[5] 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?
[6] Even as Abraham believed () God, and it was accounted () to him for righteousness.
[7] Know ye () () therefore that they which are of faith, the same are () the children of Abraham.
[8] 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. ()
[9] So then they which be of faith are blessed () with faithful Abraham.
[10] 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.
[11] But that no man is justified () by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live () by faith.
[12] And the law is () not of faith: but, The man that doeth () them shall live () in them.
[13] 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:
[14] that the blessing of Abraham might come () on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive () the promise of the Spirit through faith.
[15] 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. ()
[16] 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.
[17] 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. ()
[18] For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave () it to Abraham by promise.
[19] 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.
[20] Now a mediator is () not a mediator of one, but God is () one.
[21] 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.
[22] But the scripture hath concluded () all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given () to them that believe. ()
[23] But before faith came, () we were kept () under the law, shut up () unto the faith which should afterwards () be revealed. ()
[24] Wherefore the law was () our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified () by faith.
[25] But after that faith is come, () we are () no longer under a schoolmaster.
[26] For ye are () all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
[27] For as many of you as have been baptized () into Christ have put on () Christ.
[28] 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.
[29] And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye () Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
