For it is written before your eyes both in the New and in the Old (Testament) as one who had to endure crucifixion, for the ancient Scripture, which you love, testifies that He must Gal.3:2. Now this only... I want to know from you: from the works... of the law, who are now causing you to undergo circumcision, prophecy and tongues and interpretation of tongues, which we preached to you? After all, if you were rejected because you did not keep the provisions of the law, then how were you now made worthy of the gifts of the Spirit? - If you were perfect, then look, Gal.3:3. how unreasonable you [are] because, while the Jews left the law and went over to this New (Gospel), you, And if this is so, then the sorrows that you endured for the sake of the promise of Christ, Gal.3:4. you suffered in vain. Gal.3:5. who gave you the Spirit and performed...powers [miracles] among you which man does not do, He (God) did, If you or your teachers think that faith is less than works, then Abraham did not do the works (of the law), but Gal.3:6. because he believed in God, it was imputed to him as truth. Do you understand from this that believers like Abraham are called sons of Abraham? (Gal.3:7) that is, from the very days of Abraham indicated, Scripture, which by faith [by faith] will justify the Gentiles... God, All nations will be blessed... in you (Gen. 12:3). Gal.3:9. So, those who believed are blessed with... Abraham... the faithful. Gal.3:10. For all who are under the curse because of the works of the law, for it is written: “Cursed,” he says, “is every man who does not continue in all that is written in the book of the law, to do it (Deut. 27:26). Gal.3:11. It is clear... that no one is justified by the law itself, since there is none of the righteous, greater or less, who would not be a transgressor of the law and would not be subject to the curse of the law; for, - he says again, - the righteous will live by faith (Hab. 2:4). Gal.3:12. The law is not of faith but... he who fulfills this [commandments of the law] will live by it (Lev.18:5). Gal.3:13.

Gal.3:14. blessing Abraham why do not you hasten to joyfully receive the blessing of the Spirit promised to Abraham through the faith that first justified Abraham? - He gives an example in his speech that, like a will Gal.3:15. what is approved is not canceled or added any other decree in addition to what is stipulated in it - and Gal.3:16. Abraham was told about the promise: not to him and to his many seeds, to the offspring of Keturah and Ishmael, but to himself and his seed [One], who is Christ. Therefore, this promise, which, like a testament, was established with God from the very days of Abraham, Gal.3:17. the law that was after four hundred and thirty years cannot abrogate and make the promise ineffective. as your new teachers say, inheritance according to law, but no longer according to promise, as God himself said. But we know that Abraham through the promise... granted... God, Gal.3:19. for the sake of criminals was laid down, so that with his regulations he can prepare people before the time, that is, - until the seed came, which was promised, in the presence of a host of Angels, Gal.3:20. But mediation There were more than one angel; who was among them and gave this promise, Gal.3:21. So, the law is not against the promises to Abraham, for if a law had been given that could give life, then the promise would have been abolished. Gal.3:22. But... concluded... Scripture under sin, so that the promise of the faith of Jesus Christ... might be given not doing (the works of the law), but However, the law was not completely useless, but was a guardian from sins for us, thanks to its rebuke and punishment. Gal.3:23. The prisoners were - understand: they were preserved which was prepared for revelation to us. Gal.3:24. So, the law... the teacher... of us... was, because you, tamed and pacified, leads to faith in Christ, which justifies us. Gal.3:25. But when faith came, it was no longer with the teacher... we, Gal.3:26. for we are all sons of God through faith in Jesus... Christ, and not the former slaves oppressed under the yoke of the law. Gal.3:27. All who were baptized into Christ - not only were they freed from the curse of the law, but they also took on, as it were, a different image, although they remained the same by nature. So after forgiveness in baptism For you are all one in Christ Jesus. then... Abraham's seed... you, become heirs of the promise. Through hearing instructions. You might be interested in:
