| Galatians 3:1 | O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified? | O 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? | You foolish Galatians! Whose sophistry has bewitched you you to whom Jesus Christ has been vividly portrayed as on the Cross? |
| Galatians 3:2 | This only would I learn from you. Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? | This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? | Answer me this one question, "Is it on the ground of your obedience to the Law that you received the Spirit, or is it because, when you heard, you believed?" |
| Galatians 3:3 | Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh? | Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? | Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now going to reach perfection through what is external? |
| Galatians 3:4 | Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain. | Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. | Have you endured such sufferings to no purpose if indeed it has been to no purpose? |
| Galatians 3:5 | He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? | He 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? | He who gives you His Spirit and works miracles among you does He do so on the ground of your obedience to the Law, or is it the result of your having heard and believed: |
| Galatians 3:6 | Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. | Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. | even as Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his account as righteousness? |
| Galatians 3:7 | Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. | Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. | Notice therefore that those who possess faith are true sons of Abraham. |
| Galatians 3:8 | And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, [saying,] In thee shall all the nations be blessed. | And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. | And the Scripture, foreseeing that in consequence of faith God would declare the nations to be free from guilt, sent beforehand the Good News to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed." |
| Galatians 3:9 | So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. | So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. | So we see that it is those who possess faith that are blessed with believing Abraham. |
| Galatians 3:10 | For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them. | For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. | All who are depending upon their own obedience to the Law are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who does not remain faithful to all the precepts of the Law, and practise them." |
| Galatians 3:11 | Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; | But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. | It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God simply by obeying the Law, because "the righteous shall live by faith," |
| Galatians 3:12 | and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them. | And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. | and the Law has nothing to do with faith. It teaches that "he who does these things shall live by doing them." |
| Galatians 3:13 | Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: | Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: | Christ has purchased our freedom from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us because "Cursed is every one who is hanged upon a tree." |
| Galatians 3:14 | that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. | That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. | Our freedom has been thus purchased in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing belonging to Abraham may come upon the nations, so that through faith we may receive the promised Spirit. |
| Galatians 3:15 | Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: Though it be but a man's covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto. | Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. | Brethren, even a covenant made by a man to borrow an illustration from daily life when once formally sanctioned is not liable to be set aside or added to. |
| Galatians 3:16 | Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. | Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. | (Now the promises were given to Abraham and to his seed. God did not say "and to seeds," as if speaking of many, but "and to your seed," since He spoke of only one and this is Christ.) |
| Galatians 3:17 | Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect. | And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. | I mean that the Covenant which God had already formally made is not abrogated by the Law which was given four hundred and thirty years later so as to annul the promise. |
| Galatians 3:18 | For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise. | For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. | For if the inheritance comes through obedience to Law, it no longer comes because of a promise. But, as a matter of fact, God has granted it to Abraham in fulfilment of a promise. |
| Galatians 3:19 | What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; [and it was] ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. | Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. | Why then was the Law given? It was imposed later on for the sake of defining sin, until the seed should come to whom God had made the promise; and its details were laid down by a mediator with the help of angels. |
| Galatians 3:20 | Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one; but God is one. | Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. | But there cannot be a mediator where only one individual is concerned. |
| Galatians 3:21 | Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law. | Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. | God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come by the Law. |
| Galatians 3:22 | But the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. | But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. | But Scripture has shown that all mankind are the prisoners of sin, in order that the promised blessing, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who believe. |
| Galatians 3:23 | But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. | But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. | Before this faith came, we Jews were perpetual prisoners under the Law, living under restraints and limitations in preparation for the faith which was soon to be revealed. |
| Galatians 3:24 | So that the law is become our tutor [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. | Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. | So that the Law has acted the part of a tutor-slave to lead us to Christ, in order that through faith we may be declared to be free from guilt. |
| Galatians 3:25 | But now faith that is come, we are no longer under a tutor. | But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. | But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave. |
| Galatians 3:26 | For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. | For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. | You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus; |
| Galatians 3:27 | For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. | For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. | for all of you who have been baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ. |
| Galatians 3:28 | There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one [man] in Christ Jesus. | There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. | In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus. |
| Galatians 3:29 | And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise. | And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. | And if you belong to Christ, then you are indeed true descendants of Abraham, and are heirs in fulfilment of the promise. |
