Galatians 3

1O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?

ω ανοητοι γαλαται, τις υμας εβασκανεν τη αληθεια μη πειθεσθαι, οις κατ οφθαλμους ιησους χριστος προεγραφη εν υμιν εσταυρωμενος;

2This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

τουτο μονον θελω μαθειν αφ υμων· εξ εργων νομου το πνευμα ελαβετε η εξ ακοης πιστεως;

3Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?

ουτως ανοητοι εστε; εναρξαμενοι πνευματι νυν σαρκι επιτελεισθε;

4Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

τοσαυτα επαθετε εικη; ει γε και εικη.

5Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?-

ο ουν επιχορηγων υμιν το πνευμα και ενεργων δυναμεις εν υμιν, εξ εργων νομου η εξ ακοης πιστεως;

6just as Abraham 'believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.'

καθως αβρααμ επιστευσεν τω θεω, και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην.

7Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.

γινωσκετε αρα οτι οι εκ πιστεως, ουτοι εισιν υιοι αβρααμ.

8And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, 'In you all the nations shall be blessed.'

προιδουσα δε η γραφη οτι εκ πιστεως δικαιοι τα εθνη ο θεος, προευηγγελισατο τω αβρααμ οτι ενευλογηθησονται εν σοι παντα τα εθνη.

9So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

ωστε οι εκ πιστεως ευλογουνται συν τω πιστω αβρααμ.

10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.'

οσοι γαρ εξ εργων νομου εισιν, υπο καταραν εισιν· γεγραπται γαρ· επικαταρατος πας ος ουκ εμμενει εν πασιν τοις γεγραμμενοις εν τω βιβλιω του νομου του ποιησαι αυτα.

11But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for 'the just shall live by faith.'

οτι δε εν νομω ουδεις δικαιουται παρα τω θεω, δηλον· οτι ο δικαιος εκ πιστεως ζησεται.

12Yet the law is not of faith, but 'the man who does them shall live by them.'

ο δε νομος ουκ εστιν εκ πιστεως, αλλ ο ποιησας αυτα ανθρωπος ζησεται εν αυτοις.

13Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree'),

χριστος ημας εξηγορασεν εκ της καταρας του νομου γενομενος υπερ ημων καταρα· γεγραπται γαρ· επικαταρατος πας ο κρεμαμενος επι ξυλου·

14that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

ινα εις τα εθνη η ευλογια του αβρααμ γενηται εν χριστω ιησου, ινα την επαγγελιαν του πνευματος λαβωμεν δια της πιστεως.

15Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.

αδελφοι, κατα ανθρωπον λεγω· ομως ανθρωπου κεκυρωμενην διαθηκην ουδεις αθετει η επιδιατασσεται.

16Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to your Seed,' who is Christ.

τω δε αβρααμ ερρεθησαν αι επαγγελιαι και τω σπερματι αυτου· ου λεγει, και τοις σπερμασιν, ως επι πολλων, αλλ ως εφ ενος, και τω σπερματι σου, ος εστιν χριστος.

17And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.

τουτο δε λεγω· διαθηκην προκεκυρωμενην υπο του θεου εις χριστον ο μετα ετη τετρακοσια και τριακοντα γεγονως νομος ουκ ακυροι, εις το καταργησαι την επαγγελιαν.

18For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

ει γαρ εκ νομου η κληρονομια, ουκετι εξ επαγγελιας· τω δε αβρααμ δι επαγγελιας κεχαρισται ο θεος.

19What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

τι ουν ο νομος; των παραβασεων χαριν προσετεθη, αχρι ου ελθη το σπερμα ω επηγγελται, διαταγεις δι αγγελων εν χειρι μεσιτου.

20Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.

ο δε μεσιτης ενος ουκ εστιν, ο δε θεος εις εστιν.

21Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

ο ουν νομος κατα των επαγγελιων του θεου; μη γενοιτο. ει γαρ εδοθη νομος ο δυναμενος ζωοποιησαι, οντως αν εκ νομου ην η δικαιοσυνη·

22But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

αλλα συνεκλεισεν η γραφη τα παντα υπο αμαρτιαν, ινα η επαγγελια εκ πιστεως ιησου χριστου δοθη τοις πιστευουσιν.

23But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.

προ δε του ελθειν την πιστιν υπο νομον εφρουρουμεθα συγκεκλεισμενοι εις την μελλουσαν πιστιν αποκαλυφθηναι.

24Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

ωστε ο νομος παιδαγωγος ημων γεγονεν εις χριστον, ινα εκ πιστεως δικαιωθωμεν·

25But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

ελθουσης δε της πιστεως ουκετι υπο παιδαγωγον εσμεν.

26For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

παντες γαρ υιοι θεου εστε δια της πιστεως εν χριστω ιησου·

27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

οσοι γαρ εις χριστον εβαπτισθητε, χριστον ενεδυσασθε.

28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

ουκ ενι ιουδαιος ουδε ελλην, ουκ ενι δουλος ουδε ελευθερος, ουκ ενι αρσεν και θηλυ· παντες γαρ υμεις εις εστε εν χριστω ιησου.

29And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

ει δε υμεις χριστου, αρα του αβρααμ σπερμα εστε και κατ επαγγελιαν κληρονομοι.
