Galatians 3:13 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ's death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross.
2 Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.
3 How foolish can you be? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?
4 Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it?
5 I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.
6 In the same way, "Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith."
7 The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.
8 What's more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would declare the Gentiles to be righteous because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, "All nations will be blessed through you."
9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
10 But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, "Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God's Book of the Law."
11 So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life."
12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, "It is through obeying the law that a person has life."
13 But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.
15 Dear brothers and sisters, here's an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or amend an irrevocable agreement, so it is in this case.
16 God gave the promises to Abraham and his child. And notice that the Scripture doesn't say "to his children, " as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says "to his child"-- and that, of course, means Christ.
17 This is what I am trying to say: The agreement God made with Abraham could not be canceled 430 years later when God gave the law to Moses. God would be breaking his promise.
18 For if the inheritance could be received by keeping the law, then it would not be the result of accepting God's promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham as a promise.
19 Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.
20 Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God, who is one, did not use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham.
21 Is there a conflict, then, between God's law and God's promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.
22 But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God's promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.
23 Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed.
24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith.
25 And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.
26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on the character of Christ, like putting on new clothes.
28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God's promise to Abraham belongs to you.
1 O G5599 foolish G453 Galatians, G1052 who G5101 hath bewitched G940 you, G5209 that ye should not G3361 obey G3982 the G3588 truth, G225 before G2596 whose G3739 eyes G3788 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 hath been evidently set forth, G4270 crucified G4717 among G1722 you G5213 ?
2 This G5124 only G3440 would G2309 I learn G3129 of G575 you, G5216 Received G2983 ye the G3588 Spirit G4151 by G1537 the works G2041 of the law, G3551 or G2228 by G1537 the hearing G189 of faith G4102 ?
3 Are G2075 ye so G3779 foolish G453 ? having begun G1728 in the Spirit, G4151 are ye now G3568 made perfect G2005 by the flesh G4561 ?
4 Have ye suffered G3958 so many things G5118 in vain G1500 ? if G1489 it be yet G2532 in vain. G1500
5 He therefore that ministereth G2023 G3767 to you G5213 the G3588 Spirit, G4151 and G2532 worketh G1754 miracles G1411 among G1722 you, G5213 doeth he it by G1537 the works G2041 of the law, G3551 or G2228 by G1537 the hearing G189 of faith G4102 ?
6 Even as G2531 Abraham G11 believed G4100 God, G2316 and G2532 it was accounted G3049 to him G846 for G1519 righteousness. G1343
7 Know G1097 ye therefore G686 that G3754 they G3588 which are of G1537 faith, G4102 the same G3778 are G1526 the children G5207 of Abraham. G11
8 And G1161 the G3588 Scripture, G1124 foreseeing G4275 that G3754 God G2316 would justify G1344 the G3588 heathen G1484 through G1537 faith, G4102 preached before the gospel G4283 unto Abraham, G11 saying, In G1722 thee G4671 shall all G3956 nations G1484 be blessed. G1757
9 So then G5620 they G3588 which be of G1537 faith G4102 are blessed G2127 with G4862 faithful G4103 Abraham. G11
10 For G1063 as many as G3745 are G1526 of G1537 the works G2041 of the law G3551 are G1526 under G5259 the curse: G2671 for G1063 it is written, G1125 Cursed G1944 is every one G3956 that G3739 continueth G1696 not G3756 in G1722 all things G3956 which are written G1125 in G1722 the G3588 book G975 of the G3588 law G3551 to do G4160 them. G846
11 But G1161 that G3754 no man G3762 is justified G1344 by G1722 the law G3551 in the sight G3844 of God, G2316 it is evident: G1212 for, G3754 The G3588 just G1342 shall live G2198 by G1537 faith. G4102
12 And G1161 the G3588 law G3551 is G2076 not G3756 of G1537 faith: G4102 but, G235 The G3588 man G444 that doeth G4160 them G846 shall live G2198 in G1722 them. G846
13 Christ G5547 hath redeemed G1805 us G2248 from G1537 the G3588 curse G2671 of the G3588 law, G3551 being made G1096 a curse G2671 for G5228 us: G2257 for G1063 it is written, G1125 Cursed G1944 is every one G3956 that hangeth G2910 on G1909 a tree: G3586
14 That G2443 the G3588 blessing G2129 of Abraham G11 might come G1096 on G1519 the G3588 Gentiles G1484 through G1722 Jesus G2424 Christ; G5547 that G2443 we might receive G2983 the G3588 promise G1860 of the G3588 Spirit G4151 through G1223 faith. G4102
15 Brethren G80 , I speak G3004 after the manner G2596 of men; G444 Though G3676 it be but a man's G444 covenant, G1242 yet if it be confirmed, G2964 no man G3762 disannulleth, G114 or G2228 addeth thereto. G1928
16 Now G1161 to Abraham G11 and G2532 his G846 seed G4690 were the G3588 promises G1860 made. G4483 He saith G3004 not, G3756 And G2532 to seeds, G4690 as G5613 of G1909 many; G4183 but G235 as G5613 of G1909 one, G1520 And G2532 to thy G4675 seed, G4690 which G3739 is G2076 Christ. G5547
17 And G1161 this G5124 I say, G3004 that the covenant, G1242 that was confirmed before G4300 of G5259 God G2316 in G1519 Christ, G5547 the G3588 law, G3551 which was G1096 four hundred G5071 and G2532 thirty G5144 years G2094 after, G3326 cannot disannul G208 , G3756 that it should make the promise of none effect G2673 G3588. G1860
18 For G1063 if G1487 the G3588 inheritance G2817 be of G1537 the law, G3551 it is no more G3765 of G1537 promise: G1860 but G1161 God G2316 gave G5483 it to Abraham G11 by G1223 promise. G1860
19 Wherefore G5101 then G3767 serveth the G3588 law G3551 ? It was added G4369 because G5484 of transgressions, G3847 till G891 G3757 the G3588 seed G4690 should come G2064 to whom G3739 the promise was made; G1861 and it was ordained G1299 by G1223 angels G32 in G1722 the hand G5495 of a mediator. G3316
20 Now G1161 a mediator G3316 is G2076 not G3756 a mediator of one, G1520 but G1161 God G2316 is G2076 one. G1520
21 Is the G3588 law G3551 then G3767 against G2596 the G3588 promises G1860 of God G2316 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 : for G1063 if G1487 there had been a law G3551 given G1325 which could G1410 have given life, G2227 verily G3689 G302 righteousness G1343 should have been G2258 by G1537 the law. G3551
22 But G235 the G3588 Scripture G1124 hath concluded G4788 all G3956 under G5259 sin, G266 that G2443 the G3588 promise G1860 by G1537 faith G4102 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 might be given G1325 to them that believe. G4100
23 But G1161 before faith G4102 came, G2064 we were kept G5432 under G5259 the law, G3551 shut up G4788 unto G1519 the G3588 faith G4102 which should afterwards G3195 be revealed. G601
24 Wherefore G5620 the G3588 law G3551 was G1096 our G2257 schoolmaster G3807 to bring us unto G1519 Christ, G5547 that G2443 we might be justified G1344 by G1537 faith. G4102
25 But G1161 after that faith G4102 is come, G2064 we are G2070 no longer G3765 under G5259 a schoolmaster. G3807
26 For G1063 ye are G2075 all G3956 the children G5207 of God G2316 by G1223 faith G4102 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424
27 For G1063 as many G3745 of you as have been baptized G907 into G1519 Christ G5547 have put on G1746 Christ. G5547
28 There is G1762 neither G3756 Jew G2453 nor G3761 Greek, G1672 there is G1762 neither G3756 bond G1401 nor G3761 free, G1658 there is G1762 neither G3756 male G730 nor G2532 female: G2338 for G1063 ye G5210 are G2075 all G3956 one G1520 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424
29 And G1161 if G1487 ye G5210 be Christ's G5547, then G686 are G2075 ye Abraham's G11 seed, G4690 and G2532 heirs G2818 according G2596 to the promise. G1860
