Galatians 3

GNT

1 ὦ ἀνόητοι γαλάται, τίς ὑμᾶς ἐβάσκανεν, οἷς κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἰησοῦς χριστὸς προεγράφη ἐσταυρωμένος;

2 τοῦτο μόνον θέλω μαθεῖν ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν, ἐξ ἔργων νόμου τὸ πνεῦμα ἐλάβετε ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως;

3 οὕτως ἀνόητοί ἐστε; ἐναρξάμενοι πνεύματι νῦν σαρκὶ ἐπιτελεῖσθε;

4 τοσαῦτα ἐπάθετε εἰκῇ; εἴ γε καὶ εἰκῇ.

5 ὁ οὗν ἐπιχορηγῶν ὑμῖν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἐνεργῶν δυνάμεις ἐν ὑμῖν ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως;

6 καθὼς ἀβραὰμ ἐπίστευσεν τῶ θεῶ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῶ εἰς δικαιοσύνην.

7 γινώσκετε ἄρα ὅτι οἱ ἐκ πίστεως, οὖτοι υἱοί εἰσιν ἀβραάμ.

8 προϊδοῦσα δὲ ἡ γραφὴ ὅτι ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοῖ τὰ ἔθνη ὁ θεὸς προευηγγελίσατο τῶ ἀβραὰμ ὅτι ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.

9 ὥστε οἱ ἐκ πίστεως εὐλογοῦνται σὺν τῶ πιστῶ ἀβραάμ.

10 ὅσοι γὰρ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσὶν ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν· γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὃς οὐκ ἐμμένει πᾶσιν τοῖς γεγραμμένοις ἐν τῶ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτά.

11 ὅτι δὲ ἐν νόμῳ οὐδεὶς δικαιοῦται παρὰ τῶ θεῶ δῆλον, ὅτι ὁ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται·

12 ὁ δὲ νόμος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ πίστεως, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς.

13 χριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάρα, ὅτι γέγραπται, ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κρεμάμενος ἐπὶ ξύλου,

14 ἵνα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη ἡ εὐλογία τοῦ ἀβραὰμ γένηται ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ, ἵνα τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πνεύματος λάβωμεν διὰ τῆς πίστεως.

15 ἀδελφοί, κατὰ ἄνθρωπον λέγω· ὅμως ἀνθρώπου κεκυρωμένην διαθήκην οὐδεὶς ἀθετεῖ ἢ ἐπιδιατάσσεται.

16 τῶ δὲ ἀβραὰμ ἐρρέθησαν αἱ ἐπαγγελίαι καὶ τῶ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ. οὐ λέγει, καὶ τοῖς σπέρμασιν, ὡς ἐπὶ πολλῶν, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐφ᾽ ἑνός, καὶ τῶ σπέρματί σου, ὅς ἐστιν χριστός.

17 τοῦτο δὲ λέγω· διαθήκην προκεκυρωμένην ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ μετὰ τετρακόσια καὶ τριάκοντα ἔτη γεγονὼς νόμος οὐκ ἀκυροῖ, εἰς τὸ καταργῆσαι τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν.

18 εἰ γὰρ ἐκ νόμου ἡ κληρονομία, οὐκέτι ἐξ ἐπαγγελίας· τῶ δὲ ἀβραὰμ δι᾽ ἐπαγγελίας κεχάρισται ὁ θεός.

19 τί οὗν ὁ νόμος; τῶν παραβάσεων χάριν προσετέθη, ἄχρις οὖ ἔλθῃ τὸ σπέρμα ᾧ ἐπήγγελται, διαταγεὶς δι᾽ ἀγγέλων ἐν χειρὶ μεσίτου.

20 ὁ δὲ μεσίτης ἑνὸς οὐκ ἔστιν, ὁ δὲ θεὸς εἷς ἐστιν.

21 ὁ οὗν νόμος κατὰ τῶν ἐπαγγελιῶν [τοῦ θεοῦ]; μὴ γένοιτο· εἰ γὰρ ἐδόθη νόμος ὁ δυνάμενος ζῳοποιῆσαι, ὄντως ἐκ νόμου ἂν ἦν ἡ δικαιοσύνη.

22 ἀλλὰ συνέκλεισεν ἡ γραφὴ τὰ πάντα ὑπὸ ἁμαρτίαν ἵνα ἡ ἐπαγγελία ἐκ πίστεως ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ δοθῇ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν.

23 πρὸ τοῦ δὲ ἐλθεῖν τὴν πίστιν ὑπὸ νόμον ἐφρουρούμεθα συγκλειόμενοι εἰς τὴν μέλλουσαν πίστιν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι.

24 ὥστε ὁ νόμος παιδαγωγὸς ἡμῶν γέγονεν εἰς χριστόν, ἵνα ἐκ πίστεως δικαιωθῶμεν·

25 ἐλθούσης δὲ τῆς πίστεως οὐκέτι ὑπὸ παιδαγωγόν ἐσμεν.

26 πάντες γὰρ υἱοὶ θεοῦ ἐστε διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ.

27 ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε, χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε·

28 οὐκ ἔνι ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ ἕλλην, οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος, οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ· πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ.

29 εἰ δὲ ὑμεῖς χριστοῦ, ἄρα τοῦ ἀβραὰμ σπέρμα ἐστέ, κατ᾽ ἐπαγγελίαν κληρονόμοι.

1  O⁵⁵⁹⁹ foolish⁴⁵³ Galatians,¹⁰⁵² who⁵¹⁰¹ hath bewitched⁹⁴⁰ you,⁵²⁰⁹ that ye should not³³⁶¹ obey³⁹⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ truth,²²⁵ before²⁵⁹⁶ whose³⁷³⁹ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ hath been evidently set forth,⁴²⁷⁰ crucified⁴⁷¹⁷ among¹⁷²² you?⁵²¹³

2  This⁵¹²⁴ only³⁴⁴⁰ would²³⁰⁹ I learn³¹²⁹ of⁵⁷⁵ you,⁵²¹⁶ Received²⁹⁸³ ye the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ by¹⁵³⁷ the works²⁰⁴¹ of the law,³⁵⁵¹ or²²²⁸ by¹⁵³⁷ the hearing¹⁸⁹ of faith?⁴¹⁰²

3  Are²⁰⁷⁵ ye so³⁷⁷⁹ foolish?⁴⁵³ having begun¹⁷²⁸ in the Spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ are ye now³⁵⁶⁸ made perfect²⁰⁰⁵ by the flesh?⁴⁵⁶¹

4  Have ye suffered³⁹⁵⁸ so many things⁵¹¹⁸ in vain?¹⁵⁰⁰ if¹⁴⁸⁹ it be yet²⁵³² in vain.¹⁵⁰⁰

5  He therefore that ministereth^{2023 3767} to you⁵²¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² worketh¹⁷⁵⁴ miracles¹⁴¹¹ among¹⁷²² you,⁵²¹³ doeth he it by¹⁵³⁷ the works²⁰⁴¹ of the law,³⁵⁵¹ or²²²⁸ by¹⁵³⁷ the hearing¹⁸⁹ of faith?⁴¹⁰²

6  Even as²⁵³¹ Abraham¹¹ believed⁴¹⁰⁰ God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² it was accounted³⁰⁴⁹ to him⁸⁴⁶ for¹⁵¹⁹ righteousness.¹³⁴³

7  Know¹⁰⁹⁷ ye therefore⁶⁸⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ they³⁵⁸⁸ which are of¹⁵³⁷ faith,⁴¹⁰² the same³⁷⁷⁸ are¹⁵²⁶ the children⁵²⁰⁷ of Abraham.¹¹

8  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Scripture,¹¹²⁴ foreseeing⁴²⁷⁵ that³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ would justify¹³⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ heathen¹⁴⁸⁴ through¹⁵³⁷ faith,⁴¹⁰² preached before the gospel⁴²⁸³ unto Abraham,¹¹ saying, In¹⁷²² thee⁴⁶⁷¹ shall all³⁹⁵⁶ nations¹⁴⁸⁴ be blessed.¹⁷⁵⁷

9  So then⁵⁶²⁰ they³⁵⁸⁸ which be of¹⁵³⁷ faith⁴¹⁰² are blessed²¹²⁷ with⁴⁸⁶² faithful⁴¹⁰³ Abraham.¹¹

10  For¹⁰⁶³ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ are¹⁵²⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ the works²⁰⁴¹ of the law³⁵⁵¹ are¹⁵²⁶ under⁵²⁵⁹ the curse:²⁶⁷¹ for¹⁰⁶³ it is written,¹¹²⁵ Cursed¹⁹⁴⁴ is every one³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁷³⁹ continueth¹⁶⁹⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² all things³⁹⁵⁶ which are written¹¹²⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ book⁹⁷⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ to do⁴¹⁶⁰ them.⁸⁴⁶

11  But¹¹⁶¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ no man³⁷⁶² is justified¹³⁴⁴ by¹⁷²² the law³⁵⁵¹ in the sight³⁸⁴⁴ of God,²³¹⁶ it is evident:¹²¹² for,³⁷⁵⁴ The³⁵⁸⁸ just¹³⁴² shall live²¹⁹⁸ by¹⁵³⁷ faith.⁴¹⁰²

12  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ faith:⁴¹⁰² but,²³⁵ The³⁵⁸⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ that doeth⁴¹⁶⁰ them⁸⁴⁶ shall live²¹⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² them.⁸⁴⁶

13  Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ hath redeemed¹⁸⁰⁵ us²²⁴⁸ from¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ curse²⁶⁷¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ law,³⁵⁵¹ being made¹⁰⁹⁶ a curse²⁶⁷¹ for⁵²²⁸ us:²²⁵⁷ for¹⁰⁶³ it is written,¹¹²⁵ Cursed¹⁹⁴⁴ is every one³⁹⁵⁶ that hangeth²⁹¹⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ a tree:³⁵⁸⁶

14  That²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ blessing²¹²⁹ of Abraham¹¹ might come¹⁰⁹⁶ on¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ through¹⁷²² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ;⁵⁵⁴⁷ that²⁴⁴³ we might receive²⁹⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ through¹²²³ faith.⁴¹⁰²

15  Brethren,⁸⁰ I speak³⁰⁰⁴ after the manner²⁵⁹⁶ of men;⁴⁴⁴ Though³⁶⁷⁶ it be but a man's⁴⁴⁴ covenant,¹²⁴² yet if it be confirmed,²⁹⁶⁴ no man³⁷⁶² disannulleth,¹¹⁴ or²²²⁸ addeth thereto.¹⁹²⁸

16  Now¹¹⁶¹ to Abraham¹¹ and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ were the³⁵⁸⁸ promises¹⁸⁶⁰ made.⁴⁴⁸³ He saith³⁰⁰⁴ not,³⁷⁵⁶ And²⁵³² to seeds,⁴⁶⁹⁰ as⁵⁶¹³ of¹⁹⁰⁹ many;⁴¹⁸³ but²³⁵ as⁵⁶¹³ of¹⁹⁰⁹ one,¹⁵²⁰ And²⁵³² to thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ seed,⁴⁶⁹⁰ which³⁷³⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

17  And¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ I say,³⁰⁰⁴ that the covenant,¹²⁴² that was confirmed before⁴³⁰⁰ of⁵²⁵⁹ God²³¹⁶ in¹⁵¹⁹ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ law,³⁵⁵¹ which was¹⁰⁹⁶ four hundred⁵⁰⁷¹ and²⁵³² thirty⁵¹⁴⁴ years²⁰⁹⁴ after,³³²⁶ cannot disannul,^{208 3756} that it should make the promise of none effect.^{2673 3588 1860}

18  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ inheritance²⁸¹⁷ be of¹⁵³⁷ the law,³⁵⁵¹ it is no more³⁷⁶⁵ of¹⁵³⁷ promise:¹⁸⁶⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ God²³¹⁶ gave⁵⁴⁸³ it to Abraham¹¹ by¹²²³ promise.¹⁸⁶⁰

19  Wherefore⁵¹⁰¹ then³⁷⁶⁷ serveth the³⁵⁸⁸ law?³⁵⁵¹ It was added⁴³⁶⁹ because⁵⁴⁸⁴ of transgressions,³⁸⁴⁷ till^{891 3757} the³⁵⁸⁸ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ should come²⁰⁶⁴ to whom³⁷³⁹ the promise was made;¹⁸⁶¹ and it was ordained¹²⁹⁹ by¹²²³ angels³² in¹⁷²² the hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ of a mediator.³³¹⁶

20  Now¹¹⁶¹ a mediator³³¹⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ a mediator of one,¹⁵²⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ God²³¹⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ one.¹⁵²⁰

21  Is the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ then³⁷⁶⁷ against²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ promises¹⁸⁶⁰ of God?²³¹⁶ God forbid:^{1096 3361} for¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ there had been a law³⁵⁵¹ given¹³²⁵ which could¹⁴¹⁰ have given life,²²²⁷ verily^{3689 302} righteousness¹³⁴³ should have been²²⁵⁸ by¹⁵³⁷ the law.³⁵⁵¹

22  But²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Scripture¹¹²⁴ hath concluded⁴⁷⁸⁸ all³⁹⁵⁶ under⁵²⁵⁹ sin,²⁶⁶ that²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ by¹⁵³⁷ faith⁴¹⁰² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ might be given¹³²⁵ to them that believe.⁴¹⁰⁰

23  But¹¹⁶¹ before faith⁴¹⁰² came,²⁰⁶⁴ we were kept⁵⁴³² under⁵²⁵⁹ the law,³⁵⁵¹ shut up⁴⁷⁸⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ faith⁴¹⁰² which should afterwards³¹⁹⁵ be revealed.⁶⁰¹

24  Wherefore⁵⁶²⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ was¹⁰⁹⁶ our²²⁵⁷ schoolmaster³⁸⁰⁷ to bring us unto¹⁵¹⁹ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ that²⁴⁴³ we might be justified¹³⁴⁴ by¹⁵³⁷ faith.⁴¹⁰²

25  But¹¹⁶¹ after that faith⁴¹⁰² is come,²⁰⁶⁴ we are²⁰⁷⁰ no longer³⁷⁶⁵ under⁵²⁵⁹ a schoolmaster.³⁸⁰⁷

26  For¹⁰⁶³ ye are²⁰⁷⁵ all³⁹⁵⁶ the children⁵²⁰⁷ of God²³¹⁶ by¹²²³ faith⁴¹⁰² in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

27  For¹⁰⁶³ as many³⁷⁴⁵ of you as have been baptized⁹⁰⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ have put on¹⁷⁴⁶ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

28  There is¹⁷⁶² neither³⁷⁵⁶ Jew²⁴⁵³ nor³⁷⁶¹ Greek,¹⁶⁷² there is¹⁷⁶² neither³⁷⁵⁶ bond¹⁴⁰¹ nor³⁷⁶¹ free,¹⁶⁵⁸ there is¹⁷⁶² neither³⁷⁵⁶ male⁷³⁰ nor²⁵³² female:²³³⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ ye⁵²¹⁰ are²⁰⁷⁵ all³⁹⁵⁶ one¹⁵²⁰ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

29  And¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ ye⁵²¹⁰ be Christ's,⁵⁵⁴⁷ then⁶⁸⁶ are²⁰⁷⁵ ye Abraham's¹¹ seed,⁴⁶⁹⁰ and²⁵³² heirs²⁸¹⁸ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the promise.¹⁸⁶⁰

Vul

1 O insensati Galatæ, quis vos fascinavit non obedire veritati, ante quorum oculos Jesus Christus præscriptus est, in vobis crucifixus?

2 Hoc solum a vobis volo discere: ex operibus legis Spiritum accepistis, an ex auditu fidei?

3 sic stulti estis, ut cum Spiritu cœperitis, nunc carne consummemini?

4 tanta passi estis sine causa? si tamen sine causa.

5 Qui ergo tribuit vobis Spiritum, et operatur virtutes in vobis: ex operibus legis, an ex auditu fidei?

6 Sicut scriptum est: Abraham credidit Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam:

7 cognoscite ergo quia qui ex fide sunt, ii sunt filii Abrahæ.

8 Providens autem Scriptura quia ex fide justificat gentes Deus, prænuntiavit Abrahæ: Quia benedicentur in te omnes gentes.

9 Igitur qui ex fide sunt, benedicentur cum fideli Abraham.

10 Quicumque enim ex operibus legis sunt, sub maledicto sunt. Scriptum est enim: Maledictus omnis qui non permanserit in omnibus quæ scripta sunt in libro legis ut faciat ea.

11 Quoniam autem in lege nemo justificatur apud Deum, manifestum est: quia justus ex fide vivit.

12 Lex autem non est ex fide, sed: Qui fecerit ea, vivet in illis.

13 Christus nos redemit de maledicto legis, factus pro nobis maledictum: quia scriptum est: Maledictus omnis qui pendet in ligno:

14 ut in gentibus benedictio Abrahæ fieret in Christo Jesu, ut pollicitationem Spiritus accipiamus per fidem.

15 Fratres (secundum hominem dico) tamen hominis confirmatum testamentum nemo spernit, aut superordinat.

16 Abrahæ dictæ sunt promissiones, et semini ejus. Non dicit: Et seminibus, quasi in multis: sed quasi in uno: Et semini tuo, qui est Christus.

17 Hoc autem dico, testamentum confirmatum a Deo: quæ post quadringentos et triginta annos facta est lex, non irritum facit ad evacuandam promissionem.

18 Nam si ex lege hæreditas, jam non ex promissione. Abrahæ autem per repromissionem donavit Deus.

19 Quid igitur lex? Propter transgressiones posita est donec veniret semen, cui promiserat, ordinata per angelos in manu mediatoris.

20 Mediator autem unius non est: Deus autem unus est.

21 Lex ergo adversus promissa Dei? Absit. Si enim data esset lex, quæ posset vivificare, vere ex lege esset justitia.

22 Sed conclusit Scriptura omnia sub peccato, ut promissio ex fide Jesu Christi daretur credentibus.

23 Prius autem quam veniret fides, sub lege custodiebamur conclusi in eam fidem quæ revelanda erat.

24 Itaque lex pædagogus noster fuit in Christo, ut ex fide justificemur.

25 At ubi venit fides, jam non sumus sub pædagogo.

26 Omnes enim filii Dei estis per fidem, quæ est in Christo Jesu.

27 Quicumque enim in Christo baptizati estis, Christum induistis.

28 Non est Judæus, neque Græcus: non est servus, neque liber: non est masculus, neque femina. Omnes enim vos unum estis in Christo Jesu.

29 Si autem vos Christi, ergo semen Abrahæ estis, secundum promissionem hæredes.
