1 Oh, senseless Galataians! Who has bewitched you? Before whose eyes Yahshua Christ had been publicly set forth, having been crucified? 2 This only I wish to learn from you: from rituals of law have you received the Spirit, or from a report of faith? 3 So are you senseless, beginning in Spirit, you are now being perfected in flesh? 4 Have you been affected by so many things without purpose? And if indeed without purpose. 5 Therefore he supplying to you besides the Spirit is also effecting abilities among you from rituals of law or from a hearing of faith? 6 Just as "Abraham had trusted Yahweh, and it was accounted to him for righteousness" 7 then you know that they from faith, they are sons of Abraham. 8 And the writing having foreseen that from faith Yahweh would deem the Nations righteous, announced to Abraham beforehand that "In you shall all the Nations be blessed." 9 So those from faith are blessed along with the believing Abraham. 10 For as many as are from rituals of law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed are all who do not stand fast in all the writings within the book of the law, to do them." 11 And that in law no one is deemed righteous before Yahweh is clear, because "the just shall live by faith." 12 Now the law is not from faith, but "he who practices these things shall have life by them." 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, becoming a curse on our behalf, (for it is written, "Accursed is everyone who hangs upon a timber,") 14 in order that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Nations at the hand of Christ Yahshua, that we should receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith. 15 Brethren, (I speak as befits a man,) even a validated covenant of man no one sets aside, or makes additions to for himself. 16 Now to Abraham the promises have been spoken, and to his offspring. It does not say "and to offsprings", as of many; but as of one: "and to your offspring," which are anointed. 17 Now this I say, a covenant validated beforehand by Yahweh, the law which arrived after four hundred and thirty years does not invalidate, by which the promise is left idle. 18 For if from law, the inheritance is no longer from promise, but to Abraham through a promise Yahweh has given it freely. 19 Then why the law? It had been imposed on account of the transgressions, until He would come: the offspring in which He had promised Himself, having been arranged by messengers in a mediator's hand. 20 And the mediator is not of one, but Yahweh is one. 21 Therefore is the law in opposition to the promises of Yahweh? Certainly not! If a law had been given having the ability to produce life, indeed justification would have been from of law. 22 But the writing has enclosed all under fault, in order that the promise, from the faith of Yahshua Christ, would be given to those who are believing. 23 But before the faith was to come we had been guarded under law, being enclosed to the faith destined to be revealed. 24 So the law has been our tutor for Christ, in order that from faith we would be deemed righteous. 25 But the faith having come, no longer are we under a tutor; 26 for you are all sons of Yahweh through the faith in Christ Yahshua. 27 For as many of you have been immersed in Christ, Christ you have been clothed in. 28 There is not one Judaean or Greek, there is not one bondman or freeman, there is not one male and female; for all you are one in Christ Yahshua. 29 But if you are Christ's, then of the offspring of Abraham you are heirs according to promise.
