Galatians 3

Front 1

Galatians 3:1

Back 1

You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.

Front 2

Galatians 3:2

Back 2

I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receie the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard?

Front 3

Galatians 3:3

Back 3

Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

Front 4

Galatians 3:4

Back 4

Have you suffered so much for nothing--if it really was for nothing?

Front 5

Galatians 3:5

Back 5

Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?

Front 6

Galatians 3:6 KEY

Back 6

Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."

Front 7

Galatians 3:7

Back 7

Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham.

Front 8

Galatians 3:8 KEY

Back 8

The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you."

Front 9

Galatians 3:9

Back 9

So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

Front 10

Galatians 3:10 KEY

Back 10

All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."

Front 11

Galatians 3:11 KEY

Back 11

Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith."

Front 12

Galatians 3:12 KEY

Back 12

The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them."

Front 13

Galatians 3:13 KEY

Back 13

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."

Front 14

Galatians 3:14 KEY

Back 14

He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

Front 15

Galatians 3:15

Back 15

Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case.

Front 16

Galatians 3:16

Back 16

The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ.

Front 17

Galatians 3:17

Back 17

What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.

Front 18

Galatians 3:18 KEY

Back 18

For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.

Front 19

Galatians 3:19

Back 19

What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator.

Front 20

Galatians 3:20

Back 20

A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one.

Front 21

Galatians 3:21

Back 21

Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.

Front 22

Galatians 3:22 KEY

Back 22

But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

Front 23

Galatians 3:23

Back 23

Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.

Front 24

Galatians 3:24

Back 24

So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.

Front 25

Galatians 3:25 KEY

Back 25

Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.

Front 26

Galatians 3:26 KEY

Back 26

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,

Front 27

Galatians 3:27 KEY

Back 27

for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

Front 28

Galatians 3:28 KEY

Back 28

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

Front 29

Galatians 3:29 KEY

Back 29

If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
