Epistle
Gal 2.21-3.7
Read in contextBrethren,
2:21I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
3:1O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
3:2This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3:3Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
3:4Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if [it be] yet in vain.
3:5He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3:6Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
3:7Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
