Galatians 3:2 - Prayer Tents

Faith Brings Righteousness

3You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed [as] crucified?G5599G453G1052G5101G940G5209G3982G3361G3982G225G2596G3739G3788G2424G5547G4270G4717G1722G5213

2This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?G5124G3440G2309G3129G575G5216G2983G4151G1537G2041G3551G2228G1537G189G4102

3Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?G2075G3779G453G1728G4151G2005G3568G2005G4561

4Did you suffer so many things in vain— if indeed it was in vain?G3958G5118G1500G1489G2532G1500

5Does He then, who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?G3767G2023G5213G4151G2532G1754G1411G1722G5213G1537G2041G3551G2228G1537G189G4102

6Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.G2531G11G4100G2316G2532G3049G846G1519G1343

7Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.G1097G686G3754G1537G4102G3778G1526G5207G11

8And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, [saying], "ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED IN YOU."G1161G1124G4275G3754G2316G1344G1484G1537G4102G4283G11G3754G1722G4671G1757G3956G1484G1757

9So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.G5620G1537G4102G2127G4862G4103G11

10For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM."G1063G3745G1526G1537G2041G3551G1526G5259G2671G1063G1125G1944G3956G3739G1696G3756G1722G3956G3588G1125G1722G975G3551G4160G846

11Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, " THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. "G1161G3754G3762G1344G1722G3551G3844G2316G1212G3754G1342G2198G1537G4102

12However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM."G1161G3551G2076G3756G1537G4102G235G444G4160G846G2198G1722G846

13Christ 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"- -G5547G1805G2248G1537G2671G3551G1096G2671G5228G2257G1063G1125G1944G3956G2910G1909G3586

14in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.G2443G2129G11G1096G1519G1484G1722G2424G5547G2443G2983G1860G4151G1223G4102

Intent of the Law

15Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations: even though it is [ only] a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it.G80G3004G2596G444G3676G444G1242G2964G3762G114G2228G1928

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

17What I am saying is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.G1161G5124G3004G1242G4300G5259G2316G1519G5547G3551G1096G5071G2532G5144G2094G3326G3756G208G1519G2673G1860G2673

18For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.G1063G1487G2817G1537G3551G3765G1537G1860G1161G2316G5483G11G1223G1860

19Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed should come to whom the promise had been made.G5101G3767G3551G4369G5484G3847G891G3739G4690G2064G3739G1861G1299G1223G32G1722G5495G3316

20Now a mediator is not for one [party only]; whereas God is [only] one.G1161G3316G2076G3756G1520G1161G2316G2076G1520

21Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.G3551G3767G2596G1860G2316G3361G1096G1063G1487G1325G3551G1325G3588G1410G2227G3689G1343G302G2258G1537G3551

22But the Scripture has shut up all men under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.G235G1124G4788G3956G5259G266G2443G1860G1537G4102G2424G5547G1325G4100

23But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.G1161G4253G4102G2064G5432G5259G3551G4788G1519G4102G3195G601

24Therefore the Law has become our tutor [to lead us] to Christ, that we may be justified by faith.G5620G3551G1096G2257G3807G1519G5547G2443G1344G1537G4102

25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.G1161G4102G2064G2070G2089G3765G5259G3807

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

27For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.G1063G3745G907G1519G5547G1746G5547

28There 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.G1762G3756G2453G3761G1672G1762G3756G1401G3761G1658G1762G3756G730G2532G2338G1063G5210G2075G3956G1520G1722G5547G2424

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