Sha'ul�s Letter to the Galatians, Chapter 3
{3:1} Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the
truth, before whose eyes Yeshua the Messiah was openly set forth among
you as crucified? {3:2} I just want to learn this from you. Did you
receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
{3:3} Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now
completed in the flesh? {3:4} Did you suffer so many things in vain,
if it is indeed in vain? {3:5} He therefore that supplies the Spirit
to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of
the law, or by hearing of faith? {3:6} Even as Avraham "believed God,
and it was counted to him for righteousness." {3:7} Know therefore
that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Avraham. {3:8} The
scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Goyim by faith,
preached the Good News beforehand to Avraham, saying, "In you will all
the nations be blessed." {3:9} So then, those who are of faith are
blessed with the faithful Avraham. {3:10} For as many as are of the
works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is
everyone who doesn't continue in all things that are written in the
book of the law, to do them." {3:11} Now that no man is justified by
the law before God is evident, for, "The righteous will live by
faith." {3:12} The law is not of faith, but, "The man who does them
will live by them." {3:13} Messiah 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," {3:14} that the blessing of Avraham
might come on the Goyim through Messiah Yeshua; that we might receive
the promise of the Spirit through faith. {3:15} Brothers, I speak like
men. Though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been
confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it. {3:16} Now the
promises were spoken to Avraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To
seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Messiah.
{3:17} Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in
Messiah, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does
not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect. {3:18} For if the
inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has
granted it to Avraham by promise.
{3:19} What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions,
until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was
ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. {3:20} Now a
mediator is not between one, but God is one. {3:21} Is the law then
against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a
law given which could make alive, most assuredly righteousness would
have been of the law. {3:22} But the scriptures shut up all things
under sin, that the promise by faith in Yeshua the Messiah might be
given to those who believe. {3:23} But before faith came, we were kept
in custody under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards
be revealed. {3:24} So that the law has become our tutor to bring us
to Messiah, that we might be justified by faith. {3:25} But now that
faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor. {3:26} For you are all
sons of God, through faith in Messiah Yeshua. {3:27} For as many of
you as were immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah. {3:28} There is
neither Yehudi nor Yevanit, there is neither slave nor free man, there
is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua.
{3:29} If you are Messiah's, then you are Avraham's seed and heirs
according to promise.
