Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
O thoughtless
Galatians, who did
bewitch
you, not to
obey the truth --
before whose eyes Jesus Christ was
described
before
among you crucified
?
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?
this only do
I wish
to
learn from
you --
by works of law
the Spirit
did
ye
receive
, or by the hearing of faith?
This only would
I learn of
you ,
Received
ye
the
Spirit
by the
works of the law
, or by the hearing of faith?
so
thoughtless
are ye !
having begun in the Spirit, now in
the flesh do
ye
end
?
Are ye so
foolish?
having begun in the Spirit, are
ye
now made
perfect
by
the flesh?
so many things did
ye
suffer
in vain !
if ,
indeed,
even
in vain.
Have
ye
suffered
so many things in vain ?
if it
be
yet
in vain.
He ,
therefore ,
who
is
supplying
to you the Spirit, and working
mighty
acts
among you --
by works of law or by the hearing of faith `is
it'
?
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?
according
as Abraham did
believe
God, and it was reckoned
to him --
to
righteousness ;
Even
as Abraham believed
God, and it was accounted
to him for
righteousness .
know ye ,
then,
that those
of faith --
these
are sons
of Abraham ,
Know ye therefore
that they
which
are
of faith ,
the
same
are the
children
of Abraham .
and the Writing
having
foreseen
that by
faith
God doth
declare
righteous
the nations
did
proclaim
before the good
news
to
Abraham --
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.
`Blessed
in
thee
shall
be
all
the
nations;'
so that
those
of faith are blessed with the
faithful Abraham ,
So then
they
which
be
of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham .
for as many as are of works of law are under a
curse ,
for it hath
been
written, `
Cursed `
is '
every one who
is
not remaining
in all things that
have
been
written in the Book of the Law --
to do them ,'
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 .
and
that in
law
no one
is declared
righteous
with
God, is evident, because
`
The righteous
by
faith
shall live ;'
But
that no man
is justified
by
the
law
in
the
sight
of
God, it
is evident :
for
, The just
shall live by
faith.
and the law is not by
faith ,
but --
`
The man who
did
them shall live in them. '
And the law is not of
faith :
but ,
The man that
doeth
them shall live in them.
Christ did
redeem
us from the curse of the law, having
become
for
us
a curse ,
for it hath
been
written, `
Cursed is every one who
is
hanging
on a tree ,'
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 :
that to
the nations
the
blessing of Abraham may
come in
Christ
Jesus ,
that the promise of the Spirit we
may
receive
through the
faith.
That the blessing of Abraham might
come on
the
Gentiles
through
Jesus Christ;
that we
might
receive
the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Brethren, as
a
man
I say
`it',
even
of man
a confirmed
covenant no one
doth
make
void
or
doth
add
to
,
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.
and
to Abraham were
the
promises
spoken,
and to
his seed ;
He doth
not say
, `
And to seeds, '
as of many ,
but as of one, `
And to thy seed, '
which is Christ ;
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 .
and this I say, A
covenant confirmed before by
God to
Christ, the law, that
came
four hundred and thirty years after, doth
not
set
aside
, to
make void
the promise ,
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.
for if by
law
`be'
the inheritance, `
it is '
no more by
promise ,
but to Abraham through
promise did
God
grant
`it'
.
For if the inheritance be
of
the
law
, it is no more of
promise :
but God
gave
it
to Abraham by
promise.
Why,
then ,
the law? on
account
of
the
transgressions
it was added, till the seed might
come to which
the promise hath
been
made ,
having
been
set
in
order
through
messengers
in the hand of a mediator --
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 .
and
the
mediator is not of one, and
God is one --
Now
a
mediator is not a
mediator
of one, but
God is one .
the law ,
then ,
`is'
against the promises of God? --
let
it
not
be!
for if a law was
given that
was
able
to
make
alive
, truly
by
law
there
would
have been the righteousness,
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.
but the Writing
did
shut
up
the
whole
under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may
be given to those
believing
.
But the scripture
hath
concluded
all
under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might
be given to them
that
believe
.
And
before the
coming
of
the
faith, under
law
we were being
kept, shut up to
the faith about
to
be revealed ,
But
before faith came
, we were kept under
the
law
, shut up unto
the faith which
should
afterwards
be revealed .
so
that
the law became
our child-conductor
--
to Christ, that by
faith
we may
be declared
righteous,
Wherefore
the law was
our schoolmaster
to bring
us
unto
Christ, that we might
be justified
by
faith.
and
the
faith having
come, no more
under a child-conductor
are
we,
But
after
that
faith is
come, we
are
no longer
under a schoolmaster.
for ye are all sons
of God through
the
faith in Christ Jesus ,
For ye are all the
children
of God by
faith in Christ Jesus .
for as many as to
Christ
were
baptized did
put on Christ ;
For as many of
you
as have
been
baptized into
Christ
have
put on Christ .
there is not
here
Jew or
Greek, there is not
here
servant
nor freeman
, there is not
here
male and
female ,
for all
ye are one in Christ Jesus ;
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 .
and if ye `are'
of
Christ
then of
Abraham
ye
are seed, and according to promise --
heirs
.
And if ye be
Christ's,
then are ye
Abraham's
seed, and heirs
according to the
promise.
