Galatians 3

¹O foolish Galatians, by what strange powers have you been tricked, to whom it was made clear that Jesus Christ was put to death on the cross?

²Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

³Are you so foolish? having made a start in the Spirit, will you now be made complete in the flesh?

⁴Did you undergo such a number of things to no purpose? if it is in fact to no purpose.

⁵He who gives you the Spirit, and does works of power among you, is it by the works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

⁶Even as Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

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

⁸And the holy Writings, seeing before the event that God would give the Gentiles righteousness by faith, gave the good news before to Abraham, saying, In you will all the nations have a blessing.

⁹So then those who are of faith have a part in the blessing of Abraham who was full of faith.

¹⁰For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law.

¹¹Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.

¹²And the law is not of faith; but, He who does them will have life by them.
