O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? 1It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly 2portrayed as crucified.
2
Let me ask you only this: 3Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by 4hearing with faith?
3
Are you so foolish? 5Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
4
6Did you suffer so many things in vain--if indeed it was in vain?
5
Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and 7works miracles among you do so 8by works of the law, or by hearing with faith--
6
just as 9Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"?
7
Know then that it is 10those of faith who are 11the sons of Abraham.
8
And the Scripture, foreseeing that 12God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, 13"In you shall all the nations be blessed."
9
So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
