Galatians 3:2 - Prayer Tents

Justification through Faith

3You foolish Galatians! Who has hypnotized you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified?G5599G453G1052G5101G940G5209G3982G3361G3982G225G2596G3739G3788G2424G5547G4270G4717G1722G5213

2I only want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?G5124G3440G2309G3129G575G5216G2983G4151G1537G2041G3551G2228G1537G189G4102

3Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now going to be made complete by the flesh?G2075G3779G453G1728G4151G2005G3568G2005G4561

4Did you suffer so much for nothing— if in fact it was for nothing?G3958G5118G1500G1489G2532G1500

5So then, does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?G3767G2023G5213G4151G2532G1754G1411G1722G5213G1537G2041G3551G2228G1537G189G4102

6Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,G2531G11G4100G2316G2532G3049G846G1519G1343

7so understand that those who have faith are Abraham's sons.G1097G686G3754G1537G4102G3778G1526G5207G11

8Now the Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and foretold the good news to Abraham, saying, All the nations will be blessed in you.G1161G1124G4275G3754G2316G1344G1484G1537G4102G4283G11G3754G1722G4671G1757G3956G1484G1757

9So those who have faith are blessed with Abraham, who had faith.G5620G1537G4102G2127G4862G4103G11

Law and Promise

10For all who [rely on] the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written: Cursed is everyone who does not continue doing everything written in the book of the law.G1063G3745G1526G1537G2041G3551G1526G5259G2671G1063G1125G1944G3956G3739G1696G3756G1722G3956G3588G1125G1722G975G3551G4160G846

11Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith.G1161G3754G3762G1344G1722G3551G3844G2316G1212G3754G1342G2198G1537G4102

12But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.G1161G3551G2076G3756G1537G4102G235G444G4160G846G2198G1722G846

13Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written: Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.G5547G1805G2248G1537G2671G3551G1096G2671G5228G2257G1063G1125G1944G3956G2910G1909G3586

14The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.G2443G2129G11G1096G1519G1484G1722G2424G5547G2443G2983G1860G4151G1223G4102

15Brothers, I'm using a human illustration. No one sets aside even a human covenant that has been ratified, or makes additions to it.G80G3004G2596G444G3676G444G1242G2964G3762G114G2228G1928

16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say "and to seeds," as though referring to many, but and to your seed, referring to one, who is Christ.G1161G11G2532G846G4690G4483G1860G4483G3004G3756G2532G4690G5613G1909G4183G235G5613G1909G1520G2532G4675G4690G3739G2076G5547

17And I say this: the law, which came 430 years later, does not revoke a covenant that was previously ratified by God, so as to cancel the promise.G1161G5124G3004G1242G4300G5259G2316G1519G5547G3551G1096G5071G2532G5144G2094G3326G3756G208G1519G2673G1860G2673

18For if the inheritance is from the law, it is no longer from the promise; but God granted it to Abraham through the promise.G1063G1487G2817G1537G3551G3765G1537G1860G1161G2316G5483G11G1223G1860

The Purpose of the Law

19Why the law then? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise was made would come. [The law] was ordered through angels by means of a mediator.G5101G3767G3551G4369G5484G3847G891G3739G4690G2064G3739G1861G1299G1223G32G1722G5495G3316

20Now a mediator is not for just one person, but God is one.G1161G3316G2076G3756G1520G1161G2316G2076G1520

21Is the law therefore contrary to God's promises? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly be by the law.G3551G3767G2596G1860G2316G3361G1096G1063G1487G1325G3551G1325G3588G1410G2227G3689G1343G302G2258G1537G3551

22But the Scripture has imprisoned everything under sin's power, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.G235G1124G4788G3956G5259G266G2443G1860G1537G4102G2424G5547G1325G4100

23Before this faith came, we were confined under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed.G1161G4253G4102G2064G5432G5259G3551G4788G1519G4102G3195G601

24The law, then, was our guardian until Christ, so that we could be justified by faith.G5620G3551G1096G2257G3807G1519G5547G2443G1344G1537G4102

25But since that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,G1161G4102G2064G2070G2089G3765G5259G3807

26for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.G1063G2075G3956G5207G2316G1223G4102G1722G5547G2424

Sons and Heirs

27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.G1063G3745G907G1519G5547G1746G5547

28There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.G1762G3756G2453G3761G1672G1762G3756G1401G3761G1658G1762G3756G730G2532G2338G1063G5210G2075G3956G1520G1722G5547G2424

29And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, heirs according to the promise.G1161G1487G5210G5547G686G2075G11G4690G2532G2818G2596G1860
