Faith Brings Righteousness1 IYou foolish° aGalatians°, who° has bewitched° you, before° whose° eyes° Jesus° Christ° bwas publicly° portrayed° [as] crucified°? 2 This° is the only° thing° I want° to find° out from you: did you receive° the Spirit° by the works° of Ithe Law°, or° by IIahearing° with faith°? 3 Are you so° foolish°? Having begun° Iby the Spirit°, are you now° IIbeing perfected° by the flesh°? 4 Did you Isuffer° so° many° things° in vain°aif° indeed°° it was in vain°? 5 So° then°, does He who aprovides° you with the Spirit° and bworks° Imiracles° among° you, do it by the works° of IIthe Law°, or° by IIIchearing° with faith°?

He asketh what moved them to leave the faith, and hang upon the Law?1 ¶ Oº foolishº Galatians,º whoº hath bewitchedºª you,º that ye should¹ª notº obeyºª the² truth,º beforeº whoseº eyesº Jesusº Christº hath been evidently set forth,ºª crucifiedºª amongº you?º 2 Thisº onlyº wouldºª I learnºª ofº you,º Received² ye¹ª the² Spiritº byº the worksº of the law,º orº byº the hearingº of faith?º 3 Are² ye¹ª soº foolish?º having begunºª in the Spirit,º are ye¹ª nowº made perfectºª by the flesh?º 4 Have ye sufferedºª so many thingsº in vain?º if² [it be] yetº¹ in vain.º 5 He therefore¹ that ministerethºª² to youº the² Spirit,º andº workethºª miraclesº amongº you,º [doeth he it] byº the worksº of the law,º orº byº the hearingº of faith?º [1] Dt 32:6; 1S 13:13; Mt 7:26; 24:24; Lk 24:25; Ac 6:7; 8:9; Ro 2:8; 6:17; 10:16; 1Co 1:23; 2:2; 11:26; 2Co 10:5; 11:3, 13; Ga 1:6; 2:14; 3:3; 4:9; 5:7; Ep 3:8; 4:14; 5:15; 2Th 1:8; 2:9; 1Ti 6:4; He 5:9; 11:8; 1P 1:22; 4:17; 2P 2:18; Rv 2:20; 13:13; 18:3.
