1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, to whom before (the) eyes(=before whose eyes) Jesus Christ was portrayed, having been crucified(=as crucified).
2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of (the) law, or by hearing of faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun (in the) Spirit, are you now finishing (by the) flesh?
4 Have you suffered so many things in vain – if indeed (it was) in vain?
5 Therefore the One supplying the Spirit (to) you and working miracles among you, (does He do it) by works of (the) law, or by hearing of faith?
6 Just as Abraham believed [the] God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
7 Know, then, that the ones by faith, these are sons of Abraham.
8 And the Scripture, having foreseen that [the] God justifies(=would justify) the Gentiles(=nations) by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, [that] “All Gentiles(=nations) will be blessed in you.”
9 So the ones by faith are blessed with [the] faithful(=believing) Abraham.
10 For as many as are of works of (the) law are under a curse; for it has been written, “[that] Cursed (is) everyone who does not continue to do them in all things having been written in the book of the law.”
11 And (it is) clear that no one is justified before [the] God by [the] law, because “The righteous will live by faith.”
12 And the law is not of faith, but, “The one having done them will live in(=by) them.”
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us - for it has been written, “Cursed (is) everyone being hung on a tree.” -
14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to(=on) the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through [the] faith.
15 Brothers, I speak according to man(=after an example from man’s life). (It is same) as no one, having been ratified a man’s covenant, annuls or adds to it
16 And the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It does not say “and to seeds,” as of many, but “and to your seed,” as of one, who is Christ.
17 And I say this: the law, having come four hundred and thirty years later, does not(=cannot) annul (the) covenant having been previously ratified by God, so as to abolish the promise.
18 For if the inheritance (is) from(=by) (the) law, (it is) no longer from(=by) promise; but [the] God granted (it) to Abraham through promise.
19 What, then, (is) the law? It was added because of the transgressions, until the seed should come to whom it has been promised(=the promise was made), having been ordained(=and the law was appointed) through angels, in(=by) (the) hands of mediator.
20 And the mediator is not (for) one (party only); but [the] God is one.
21 (Is) the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law being able to make alive had been given, the righteousness would indeed have been by (the) law.
22 But the Scripture has confined all things under sin, that the promise by faith of(=in) Jesus Christ might be given to the ones believing(=who believe).
23 And before the faith to come(=before faith came), we were being guarded under (the) law, being kept for the faith being about to be revealed(=until the faith that was to come would be revealed).
24 So that the law was our tutor (to lead us) to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 And the faith’s having come(=after faith has come)1, we are no longer under a tutor.
26 For you are all sons of God through [the] faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves (with) Christ.
28 (There is) neither Jews nor Greek, (there is) neither slave nor free, (there is) neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you (are) Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise.
