also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not! 002:018 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker. 002:019 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God. 002:020 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. 002:021 I don't make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!" 003:001 Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified? 003:002 I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith? 003:003 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh? 003:004 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain? 003:005 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith? 003:006 Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness." 003:007 Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham. 003:008 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations will be blessed."{Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18} 003:009 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. 003:010 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who doesn't continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."{Deuteronomy 27:26} 003:011 Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, "The righteous will live by faith."{Habakkuk 2:4} 003:012 The law is not of faith, but, "The man who does them will live by them."{Leviticus 18:5} 003:013 Christ 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,"{Deuteronomy 21:23} 003:014 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 003:015 Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it. 003:016 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed,"{Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 24:7} which is Christ. 003:017 Now I say this.
