| Galatians 3:1 | O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been 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? | O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified? |
| Galatians 3:2 | This only would I learn of you: Did you receive 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?" | This only would I learn from you. Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
| Galatians 3:3 | Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be 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? | Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh? |
| Galatians 3:4 | Have you suffered so great 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? | Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain. |
| Galatians 3:5 | He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you; doth he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the 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: | 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? |
| Galatians 3:6 | As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice. | even as Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his account as righteousness? | Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. |
| Galatians 3:7 | Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. | Notice therefore that those who possess faith are true sons of Abraham. | Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. |
| Galatians 3:8 | And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: 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." | 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. |
| Galatians 3:9 | Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham. | So we see that it is those who possess faith that are blessed with believing Abraham. | So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful 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, that abideth 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." | 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. |
| Galatians 3:11 | But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth 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," | Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; |
| Galatians 3:12 | But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, 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." | and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them. |
| Galatians 3:13 | 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." | 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: |
| Galatians 3:14 | That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by 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. | that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. |
| Galatians 3:15 | Brethren (I speak after the manner of man,) yet a man's testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth, nor addeth to it. | 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. | 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. |
| Galatians 3:16 | To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not, And to his 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.) | 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. |
| Galatians 3:17 | Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul, to make the promise of no 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. | 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. |
| Galatians 3:18 | 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. | For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise. |
| Galatians 3:19 | Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come, to whom he made the promise, being 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. | 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. |
| Galatians 3:20 | Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one. | But there cannot be a mediator where only one individual is concerned. | Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one; but God is one. |
| Galatians 3:21 | Was the law then against the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice 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. | 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. |
| Galatians 3:22 | But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the 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. | But the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. |
| Galatians 3:23 | But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to 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. | But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. |
| Galatians 3:24 | Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in 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. | So that the law is become our tutor [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. |
| Galatians 3:25 | But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue. | But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave. | But now faith that is come, we are no longer under a tutor. |
| Galatians 3:26 | For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus. | You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus; | For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. |
| Galatians 3:27 | For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ. | for all of you who have been baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ. | For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. |
| Galatians 3:28 | There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you 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. | 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. |
| Galatians 3:29 | And if you be Christ's, then are you the seed of Abraham, 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. | And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise. |
