| 1:1 |
Paul an apostle not offrom men neither bythrough man but bythrough Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead; |
| 1:2 |
Andand all the brethren whichthat are with me unto the churches of Galatia: |
| 1:3 |
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ |
| 1:4 |
Whowho gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us fromout of this present evil world according to the will of our God and our Father: |
| 1:5 |
Toto whom be the glory for ever and ever Amen |
| 1:6 |
I marvel that ye are so soonquickly removedremoving from him that called you intoin the grace of Christ unto anothera different gospel:; |
| 1:7 |
Whichwhich is not another; butgospel: only there beare some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ |
| 1:8 |
But though we or an angel from heaven should preach unto you any other gospel untoother you than that which we have preached unto you let him be accursedanathema |
| 1:9 |
As we have said before so say I now again ifIf any man preachpreacheth unto you any other gospel untoother you than that which ye have received let him be accursedanathema |
| 1:10 |
For doam I now persuadeseeking the favor of men or of God or doam I seekstriving to please men for if I yetwere pleasedstill pleasing men I should not be thea servant of Christ |
| 1:11 |
ButFor I certifymake known to you brethren thatas touching the gospel which was preached ofby me that it is not after man |
| 1:12 |
For neither did I neitherreceive received it offrom man neithernor was I taught it but byit thecame to me through revelation of Jesus Christ |
| 1:13 |
For ye have heard of my conversationmanner of life in time past in the Jews religion how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God and wastedmade havoc of it: |
| 1:14 |
Andand profitedI advanced in the Jews religion abovebeyond many myof equals in mine own nationage among my countrymen being more exceedingly zealous offor the traditions of my fathers |
| 1:15 |
But when it pleasedwas the good pleasure of God who separated me even from my mothers womb and called me bythrough his grace |
| 1:16 |
Toto reveal his Son in me that I might preach him among the heathenGentiles; immediatelystraightway I conferred not with flesh and blood: |
| 1:17 |
Neitherneither went I up to Jerusalem to them whichthat were apostles before me;: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned again unto Damascus |
| 1:18 |
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to seevisit PeterCephas and abodetarried with him fifteen days |
| 1:20 |
Now touching the things which I write unto you behold before God I lie not |
| 1:21 |
AfterwardsThen I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; |
| 1:22 |
And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: |
| 1:23 |
Butbut they hadonly heard onlysay ThatHe hethat whichonce persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith of which he once hemade destroyedhavoc; |
| 1:24 |
Andand they glorified God in me |
| 2:1 |
Then after the space of fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas andtaking took Titus also with me also |
| 2:2 |
And I went up by revelation; and communicatedI untolaid before them thatthe gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately tobefore them whichwho were of reputationrepute lest by any means I should runbe running or had run in vain |
| 2:3 |
But neithernot even Titus who was with me being a Greek was compelled to be circumcised: |
| 2:4 |
Andand that because of the false brethren unawaresprivily brought in who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus that they might bring us into bondage: |
| 2:5 |
Toto whom we gave place byin the way of subjection no not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you |
| 2:6 |
But offrom thesethose who seemedwere reputed to be somewhat whatsoever they were it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth nonot mans person:—they forI theysay who seemedwere toof berepute somewhatimparted in conference added nothing to me: |
| 2:7 |
Butbut contrariwise when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision waseven committedas untoPeter mewith as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; |
| 2:8 |
Forfor he that wrought effectuallyfor in Peter tounto the apostleship of the circumcision thewrought samefor wasme mightyalso inunto me toward the Gentiles:; |
| 2:9 |
Andand when Jamesthey Cephas and John who seemed to be pillars perceived the grace that was given unto me James and Cephas and John they who were reputed to be pillars gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathenGentiles and they unto the circumcision; |
| 2:10 |
Onlyonly they would that we should remember the poor; thewhich samevery whichthing I was also waszealous forward to do |
| 2:11 |
But when PeterCephas wascame come to Antioch I withstoodresisted him to the face because he wasstood tocondemned be blamed |
| 2:12 |
For before that certain came from James he didate eat with the Gentiles:; but when they werecame come he withdrewdrew back and separated himself fearing them whichthat were of the circumcision |
| 2:13 |
And the otherrest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation |
| 2:14 |
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel I said unto PeterCephas before them all If thou being a Jew livest afteras do the manner of Gentiles and not as do the Jews whyhow compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews |
| 2:15 |
We whobeing are Jews by nature and not sinners of the Gentiles |
| 2:16 |
Knowingyet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but bythrough the faith ofin Jesus Christ even we have believed inon Christ Jesus Christ that we might be justified by the faith ofin Christ and not by the works of the law: forbecause by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified |
| 2:17 |
But if while we seeksought to be justified byin Christ we ourselves also arewere found sinners is therefore Christ thea minister of sin God forbid |
| 2:18 |
For if I build up again thethose things which I destroyed I makeprove myself a transgressor |
| 2:19 |
For I through the law amdied deadunto to the law that I might live unto God |
| 2:20 |
I amhave been crucified with Christ:; neverthelessand Iit live;is yetno notlonger I that live but Christ liveth in me: and thethat life which I now live in the flesh I live byin faith the faith ofwhich is in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me |
| 2:21 |
I do not frustratemake void the grace of God: for if righteousness comeis bythrough the law then Christ isdied deadfor in vainnought |
| 3:1 |
O foolish Galatians who hathdid bewitchedbewitch you that ye should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ hathwas beenopenly evidently set forth crucified among you |
| 3:2 |
This only would I learn offrom you Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith |
| 3:3 |
Are ye so foolish having begun in the Spirit are ye now madeperfected perfectin by the flesh |
| 3:4 |
HaveDid ye sufferedsuffer so many things in vain if it be yetindeed in vain |
| 3:5 |
He therefore that ministerethsupplieth to you the Spirit and worketh miracles among you doeth he it by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith |
| 3:6 |
Even as Abraham believed God and it was accountedreckoned tounto him for righteousness |
| 3:7 |
Know ye therefore that they whichthat are of faith the same are thesons children of Abraham |
| 3:8 |
And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the heathenGentiles throughby faith preached before the gospel beforehand unto Abraham saying In thee shall all the nations be blessed |
| 3:9 |
So then they whichthat beare of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham |
| 3:10 |
For as many as are of the works of the law are under thea curse: for it is written Cursed is every one thatwho continueth not in all things whichthat are written in the book of the law to do them |
| 3:11 |
ButNow that no man is justified by the law inbefore the sight of God it is evident: for The justrighteous shall live by faith; |
| 3:12 |
Andand the law is not of faith:; but TheHe man that doeth them shall live in them |
| 3:13 |
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law beinghaving madebecome a curse for us:; for it is written Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: |
| 3:14 |
Thatthat upon the blessingGentiles of Abraham might come on the Gentilesblessing throughof JesusAbraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith |
| 3:15 |
Brethren I speak after the manner of men;: Though it be but a mans covenant yet ifwhen it behath been confirmed no manone disannullethmaketh it void or addeth thereto |
| 3:16 |
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises madespoken and to his seed He saith not And to seeds as of many; but as of one And to thy seed which is Christ |
| 3:17 |
AndNow this I say: thatA the covenant that was confirmed beforebeforehand ofby God in Christ the law which wascame four hundred and thirty years after cannotdoth not disannul thatso itas shouldto make the promise of none effect |
| 3:18 |
For if the inheritance beis of the law it is no more of promise: but God gavehath granted it to Abraham by promise |
| 3:19 |
WhereforeWhat then servethis the law It was added because of transgressions till the seed should come to whom the promise washath been made; and it was ordained bythrough angels inby the hand of a mediator |
| 3:20 |
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one; but God is one |
| 3:21 |
Is the law then against the promises of God God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could havemake givenalive life verily righteousness shouldwould have been byof the law |
| 3:22 |
But the scripture hathshut concludedup all things under sin that the promise by faith ofin Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe |
| 3:23 |
But before faith came we were kept in ward under the law shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed |
| 3:24 |
WhereforeSo that the law wasis become our schoolmastertutor to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith |
| 3:25 |
But afternow that faith is come we are no longer under a schoolmastertutor |
| 3:26 |
For ye are all thesons children of God bythrough faith in Christ Jesus |
| 3:27 |
For as many of you as havewere been baptized into Christ havedid put on Christ |
| 3:28 |
There iscan be neither Jew nor Greek there iscan be neither bond nor free there iscan neitherbe no male norand female:; for ye all are all one man in Christ Jesus |
| 3:29 |
And if ye beare Christs then are ye Abrahams seed and heirs according to the promise |
| 4:1 |
NowBut I say Thatthat theso heirlong as longthe asheir he is a child he differeth nothing from a servantbondservant though he beis lord of all; |
| 4:2 |
Butbut is under tutorsguardians and governorsstewards until the timeday appointed of the father |
| 4:3 |
EvenSo so we also when we were children were held in bondage under the elementsrudiments of the world: |
| 4:4 |
Butbut when the fulness of the time wascame come God sent forth his Son madeborn of a woman madeborn under the law |
| 4:5 |
Tothat he might redeem them that were under the law that we might receive the adoption of sons |
| 4:6 |
And because ye are sons God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into yourour hearts crying Abba Father |
| 4:7 |
WhereforeSo that thou art no morelonger a servantbondservant but a son; and if a son then an heir ofthrough God through Christ |
| 4:8 |
Howbeit thenat whenthat yetime knew not knowing God ye didwere servicein untobondage to them whichthat by nature are no gods: |
| 4:9 |
Butbut now after that ye have knowncome to know God or rather areto be known ofby God how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly elementsrudiments whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage over again |
| 4:10 |
Ye observe days and months and timesseasons and years |
| 4:11 |
I am afraid of you lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you labour in vain |
| 4:12 |
Brethren I beseech you bebrethren become as I am; for I also am become as ye are: yeYe havedid notme injuredno mewrong: at all |
| 4:13 |
Yebut ye know howthat throughbecause of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first time: |
| 4:14 |
Andand mythat temptation which was a temptation to you in my flesh ye despised not nor rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God even as Christ Jesus |
| 4:15 |
Where is then theis blessednessthat yegratulation spake of yourselves for I bear you recordwitness that if it had been possible ye would have plucked out your own eyes and have given them to me |
| 4:16 |
AmSo then am I therefore become your enemy becauseby Itelling tell you the truth |
| 4:17 |
They zealously affectseek you butin notno wellgood way; yeanay they woulddesire excludeto shut you out that ye mightmay affectseek them |
| 4:18 |
But it is good to be zealously affectedsought always in a good thingmatter at all times and not only when I am present with you |
| 4:19 |
My little children of whom I travailam again in birthtravail again until Christ be formed in you— |
| 4:20 |
but I desirecould wish to be present with you now and to change my voicetone; for I standam inperplexed doubtabout of you |
| 4:22 |
For it is written that Abraham had two sons the one by athe bondmaidhandmaid theand otherone by athe freewoman |
| 4:23 |
ButHowbeit hethe whoson wasby of the bondwomanhandmaid wasis born after the flesh; but hethe ofson by the freewoman wasis byborn through promise |
| 4:24 |
Which things arecontain an allegory: for these women are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai whichbearing genderethchildren tounto bondage which is AgarHagar |
| 4:25 |
ForNow this AgarHagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem whichthat now is: andfor she is in bondage with her children |
| 4:26 |
But the Jerusalem whichthat is above is free which is theour mother of us all |
| 4:27 |
For it is written Rejoice thou barren that bearest not; breakBreak forth and cry thou that travailest not: forFor more are the desolatechildren hathof manythe moredesolate children than sheof whichher that hath anthe husband |
| 4:28 |
Now we brethren as Isaac was are the children of promise |
| 4:29 |
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit even so also it is now |
| 4:30 |
NeverthelessHowbeit what saith the scripture Cast out the bondwomanhandmaid and her son: for the son of the bondwomanhandmaid shall not beinherit heir with the son of the freewoman |
| 4:31 |
SoWherefore then brethren we are not children of thea bondwomanhandmaid but of the freefreewoman |
| 5:1 |
StandFor fastfreedom thereforedid inChrist theset libertyus wherewithfree: Christstand hathfast madetherefore us free and be not entangled again within thea yoke of bondage |
| 5:2 |
Behold I Paul say unto you that if ye bereceive circumcisedcircumcision Christ shallwill profit you nothing |
| 5:3 |
ForYea I testify again to every man that isreceiveth circumcisedcircumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law |
| 5:4 |
ChristYe isare becomesevered offrom noChrist effectye untowho youwould whosoeverbe of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace |
| 5:5 |
For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness by faith |
| 5:6 |
For in Christ Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anyanything thing nor uncircumcision; but faith whichworking workeththrough bylove love |
| 5:7 |
Ye didwere runrunning well; who didhindered hinder you that ye should not obey the truth |
| 5:8 |
This persuasion comethcame not of him that calleth you |
| 5:10 |
I have confidence into you throughward in the Lord that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment whosoever he be |
| 5:11 |
AndBut I brethren if I yetstill preach circumcision why doam I yetstill sufferpersecuted persecution then ishath the offencestumbling block of the cross ceasedbeen done away |
| 5:12 |
I would that they werethat evenunsettle cutyou offwould whicheven troublego youbeyond circumcision |
| 5:13 |
For brethren ye havebrethren beenwere called untofor libertyfreedom; only use not libertyyour freedom for an occasion to the flesh but bythrough love servebe servants one to another |
| 5:14 |
For all the whole law is fulfilled in one word even in this;: Thou shalt love thy neighbourneighbor as thyself |
| 5:16 |
ThisBut I say then Walk inby the Spirit and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh |
| 5:17 |
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh:; andfor these are contrary the one to the other:; so that ye cannotmay not do the things that ye would |
| 5:18 |
But if ye beare led ofby the Spirit ye are not under the law |
| 5:19 |
Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these;: Adultery fornication uncleanness lasciviousness |
| 5:20 |
Idolatryidolatry witchcraftsorcery hatredenmities variancestrife emulationsjealousies wrathwraths strifefactions seditionsdivisions heresiesparties |
| 5:21 |
Envyingsenvyings murders drunkenness revellings and such like:; of the which I tellforewarn you beforeeven as I havedid alsoforewarn told you in time past that they whichwho dopractise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God |
| 5:22 |
But the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace longsuffering gentlenesskindness goodness faithfaithfulness |
| 5:23 |
Meeknessmeekness temperance:self control; against such there is no law |
| 5:24 |
And they that are Christsof Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the affectionspassions and the lusts thereof |
| 5:25 |
If we live inby the Spirit by the Spirit let us also walk in the Spirit |
| 5:26 |
Let us not bebecome desirousvainglorious of vain glory provoking one another envying one another |
| 6:1 |
Brethren even if a man be overtaken in aany faulttrespass ye whichwho are spiritual restore such ana one in thea spirit of meeknessgentleness; consideringlooking to thyself lest thou also be tempted |
| 6:3 |
For if a man thinkthinketh himself to be something when he is nothing he deceiveth himself |
| 6:4 |
But let everyeach man prove his own work and then shall he have rejoicinghis glorying in regard of himself alone and not inof anotherhis neighbor |
| 6:5 |
For everyeach man shall bear his own burden |
| 6:6 |
LetBut let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things |
| 6:8 |
For he that soweth tounto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth tounto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life everlasting |
| 6:10 |
AsSo then as we have therefore opportunity let us dowork that which is good untotoward all men and especially untotoward them whothat are of the household of the faith |
| 6:11 |
YeSee seewith how large aletters letter I havewrite written unto you with mine own hand |
| 6:12 |
As many as desire to make a fair shewshow in the flesh they constraincompel you to be circumcised; only lestthat they shouldmay suffernot persecutionbe persecuted for the cross of Christ |
| 6:13 |
For neithernot even they themselves who arereceive circumcisedcircumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh |
| 6:14 |
But Godfar forbidbe thatit Ifrom shouldme to glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ bythrough whomwhich the world ishath been crucified unto me and I unto the world |
| 6:15 |
For inneither Christis Jesus neither circumcision availethanything any thing nor uncircumcision but a new creature |
| 6:16 |
And as many as shall walk accordingby to this rule peace be onupon them and mercy and upon the Israel of God |
| 6:17 |
FromHenceforth henceforth let no man trouble me:; for I bear inbranded on my body the marks of the Lord Jesus |
| 6:18 |
BrethrenThe the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit brethren Amen |
