Galatians

Greeting

ΠΡΟΣ ΓΑΛΑΤΑΣ 1 Παῦλος ἀπόστολος οὐκ ἀπ’ ἀνθρώπων οὐδὲ δι’ ἀνθρώπου ἀλλὰ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ ἐγείραντος αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν,

GALATIANS 1 Paul, an  a apostle— b not from men nor through man, but  c through Jesus Christ and God the Father,  d who raised him from the dead—

2καὶ οἱ σὺν ἐμοὶ πάντες ἀδελφοὶ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας,

2and all  e the brothers [1] who are with me,

To  f the churches of Galatia:

3χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

3 g Grace to you and peace  h from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

4τοῦ δόντος ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν, ὅπως ἐξέληται ἡμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος πονηροῦ κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς ἡμῶν,

4 i who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present  j evil age, according to the will of  k our God and Father,

5ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, ἀμήν.

5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

No Other Gospel

6Θαυμάζω ὅτι οὕτως ταχέως μετατίθεσθε ἀπὸ τοῦ καλέσαντος ὑμᾶς ἐν χάριτι [Χριστοῦ] εἰς ἕτερον εὐαγγέλιον,

6I am astonished that you are  l so quickly deserting  m him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to  n a different gospel—

7ὃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλο, εἰ μή τινές εἰσιν οἱ ταράσσοντες ὑμᾶς καὶ θέλοντες μεταστρέψαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ.

7 o not that there is another one, but  p there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

8ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἢ ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εὐαγγελίζηται [ὑμῖν] παρ’ ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα ὑμῖν, ἀνάθεμα ἔστω.

8But even if we or  q an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you,  r let him be accursed.

9ὡς προειρήκαμεν καὶ ἄρτι πάλιν λέγω· εἴ τις ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελίζεται παρ’ ὃ παρελάβετε, ἀνάθεμα ἔστω.

9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received,  r let him be accursed.

10Ἄρτι γὰρ ἀνθρώπους πείθω ἢ τὸν θεόν; ἢ ζητῶ ἀνθρώποις ἀρέσκειν; εἰ ἔτι ἀνθρώποις ἤρεσκον, Χριστοῦ δοῦλος οὐκ ἂν ἤμην.

10For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying  s to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a  t servant [2] of Christ.

Paul Called by God

11Γνωρίζω γὰρ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν ὑπ’ ἐμοῦ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν κατὰ ἄνθρωπον·

11For  u I would have you know, brothers, that  v the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. [3]

12οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐγὼ παρὰ ἀνθρώπου παρέλαβον αὐτὸ οὔτε ἐδιδάχθην, ἀλλὰ δι’ ἀποκαλύψεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

12 w For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it  x through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

13Ἠκούσατε γὰρ τὴν ἐμὴν ἀναστροφήν ποτε ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ, ὅτι καθ’ ὑπερβολὴν ἐδίωκον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπόρθουν αὐτήν,

13For you have heard of  y my former life in Judaism, how  z I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.

14καὶ προέκοπτον ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ ὑπὲρ πολλοὺς συνηλικιώτας ἐν τῷ γένει μου, περισσοτέρως ζηλωτὴς ὑπάρχων τῶν πατρικῶν μου παραδόσεων.

14And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely  a zealous was I for  b the traditions of my fathers.

15Ὅτε δὲ εὐδόκησεν [ὁ θεὸς] ὁ ἀφορίσας με ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου καὶ καλέσας διὰ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ

15But when he  c who had set me apart  d before I was born, [4] and who  e called me by his grace,

16ἀποκαλύψαι τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐμοί, ἵνα εὐαγγελίζωμαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, εὐθέως οὐ προσανεθέμην σαρκὶ καὶ αἵματι

16was pleased to reveal his Son to [5] me, in order  f that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone; [6]

17οὐδὲ ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα πρὸς τοὺς πρὸ ἐμοῦ ἀποστόλους, ἀλλ’ ἀπῆλθον εἰς Ἀραβίαν καὶ πάλιν ὑπέστρεψα εἰς Δαμασκόν.

17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

18Ἔπειτα μετὰ ἔτη τρία ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἱστορῆσαι Κηφᾶν καὶ ἐπέμεινα πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡμέρας δεκαπέντε,

18Then  g after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.

19ἕτερον δὲ τῶν ἀποστόλων οὐκ εἶδον εἰ μὴ Ἰάκωβον τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ κυρίου.

19But I saw none of the other apostles except James  h the Lord’s brother.

20ἃ δὲ γράφω ὑμῖν, ἰδοὺ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι.

20(In what I am writing to you,  i before God, I do not lie!)

21Ἔπειτα ἦλθον εἰς τὰ κλίματα τῆς Συρίας καὶ τῆς Κιλικίας·

21 j Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

22ἤμην δὲ ἀγνοούμενος τῷ προσώπῳ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Ἰουδαίας ταῖς ἐν Χριστῷ.

22And I was still unknown in person to  k the churches of Judea that are in Christ.

23μόνον δὲ ἀκούοντες ἦσαν ὅτι ὁ διώκων ἡμᾶς ποτε νῦν εὐαγγελίζεται τὴν πίστιν ἥν ποτε ἐπόρθει,

23They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

24καὶ ἐδόξαζον ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸν θεόν.

24And they glorified God because of me.

Paul Accepted by the Apostles

ΠΡΟΣ ΓΑΛΑΤΑΣ 2 Ἔπειτα διὰ δεκατεσσάρων ἐτῶν πάλιν ἀνέβην εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα μετὰ Βαρναβᾶ συμπαραλαβὼν καὶ Τίτον·

GALATIANS 2 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.

2ἀνέβην δὲ κατὰ ἀποκάλυψιν· καὶ ἀνεθέμην αὐτοῖς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ὃ κηρύσσω ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, κατ’ ἰδίαν δὲ τοῖς δοκοῦσιν, μή πως εἰς κενὸν τρέχω ἢ ἔδραμον.

2I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those  l who seemed influential) the gospel that  m I proclaim among the Gentiles,  n in order to make sure I was not running or had not  o run in vain.

3ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ Τίτος ὁ σὺν ἐμοί, Ἕλλην ὤν, ἠναγκάσθη περιτμηθῆναι·

3But even Titus, who was with me,  p was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.

4διὰ δὲ τοὺς παρεισάκτους ψευδαδέλφους, οἵτινες παρεισῆλθον κατασκοπῆσαι τὴν ἐλευθερίαν ἡμῶν ἣν ἔχομεν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, ἵνα ἡμᾶς καταδουλώσουσιν,

4 q Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who  r slipped in to spy out  s our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus,  t so that they might bring us into slavery—

5οἷς οὐδὲ πρὸς ὥραν εἴξαμεν τῇ ὑποταγῇ, ἵνα ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ εὐαγγελίου διαμείνῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς.

5to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that  u the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

6Ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν δοκούντων εἶναί τι, – ὁποῖοί ποτε ἦσαν οὐδέν μοι διαφέρει· πρόσωπον [ὁ] θεὸς ἀνθρώπου οὐ λαμβάνει – ἐμοὶ γὰρ οἱ δοκοῦντες οὐδὲν προσανέθεντο,

6And from those  v who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me;  w God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential  x added nothing to me.

7ἀλλὰ τοὐναντίον ἰδόντες ὅτι πεπίστευμαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς ἀκροβυστίας καθὼς Πέτρος τῆς περιτομῆς,

7On the contrary, when they saw that I had been  y entrusted with  z the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

8ὁ γὰρ ἐνεργήσας Πέτρῳ εἰς ἀποστολὴν τῆς περιτομῆς ἐνήργησεν καὶ ἐμοὶ εἰς τὰ ἔθνη,

8(for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),

9καὶ γνόντες τὴν χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι, Ἰάκωβος καὶ Κηφᾶς καὶ Ἰωάννης, οἱ δοκοῦντες στῦλοι εἶναι, δεξιὰς ἔδωκαν ἐμοὶ καὶ Βαρναβᾷ κοινωνίας, ἵνα ἡμεῖς εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς τὴν περιτομήν·

9and when James and Cephas and John,  v who seemed to be  a pillars, perceived the  b grace that was given to me, they  c gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

10μόνον τῶν πτωχῶν ἵνα μνημονεύωμεν, ὃ καὶ ἐσπούδασα αὐτὸ τοῦτο ποιῆσαι.

10Only, they asked us to remember the poor,  d the very thing I was eager to do.

Paul Opposes Peter

11Ὅτε δὲ ἦλθεν Κηφᾶς εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν, κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῷ ἀντέστην, ὅτι κατεγνωσμένος ἦν.

11But  e when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him  f to his face, because he stood condemned.

12πρὸ τοῦ γὰρ ἐλθεῖν τινας ἀπὸ Ἰακώβου μετὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν συνήσθιεν· ὅτε δὲ ἦλθον, ὑπέστελλεν καὶ ἀφώριζεν ἑαυτὸν φοβούμενος τοὺς ἐκ περιτομῆς.

12For before certain men came from James,  g he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing  h the circumcision party. [1]

13καὶ συνυπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ [καὶ] οἱ λοιποὶ Ἰουδαῖοι, ὥστε καὶ Βαρναβᾶς συναπήχθη αὐτῶν τῇ ὑποκρίσει.

13And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.

14ἀλλ’ ὅτε εἶδον ὅτι οὐκ ὀρθοποδοῦσιν πρὸς τὴν ἀλήθειαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, εἶπον τῷ Κηφᾷ ἔμπροσθεν πάντων· εἰ σὺ Ἰουδαῖος ὑπάρχων ἐθνικῶς καὶ οὐχὶ Ἰουδαϊκῶς ζῇς, πῶς τὰ ἔθνη ἀναγκάζεις ἰουδαΐζειν;

14But when I saw that their  i conduct was not in step with  j the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas  k before them all, “If you, though a Jew,  l live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

Justified by Faith

15Ἡμεῖς φύσει Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἁμαρτωλοί·

15We ourselves are Jews by birth and not  m Gentile sinners;

16εἰδότες [δὲ] ὅτι οὐ δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἐὰν μὴ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐπιστεύσαμεν, ἵνα δικαιωθῶμεν ἐκ πίστεως Χριστοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου, ὅτι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σάρξ.

16yet we know that  n a person is not justified [2] by works of the law  o but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law,  p because by works of the law no one will be justified.

17εἰ δὲ ζητοῦντες δικαιωθῆναι ἐν Χριστῷ εὑρέθημεν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἁμαρτωλοί, ἆρα Χριστὸς ἁμαρτίας διάκονος; μὴ γένοιτο.

17But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found  q to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!

18εἰ γὰρ ἃ κατέλυσα ταῦτα πάλιν οἰκοδομῶ, παραβάτην ἐμαυτὸν συνιστάνω.

18For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.

19ἐγὼ γὰρ διὰ νόμου νόμῳ ἀπέθανον, ἵνα θεῷ ζήσω. Χριστῷ συνεσταύρωμαι·

19For through the law I  r died to the law, so that I might  s live to God.

20ζῶ δὲ οὐκέτι ἐγώ, ζῇ δὲ ἐν ἐμοὶ Χριστός· ὃ δὲ νῦν ζῶ ἐν σαρκί, ἐν πίστει ζῶ τῇ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντός με καὶ παραδόντος ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ.

20I have been  t crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives  u in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,  v who loved me and  w gave himself for me.

21Οὐκ ἀθετῶ τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰ γὰρ διὰ νόμου δικαιοσύνη, ἄρα Χριστὸς δωρεὰν ἀπέθανεν.

21I do not nullify the grace of God, for  x if righteousness [3] were through the law,  y then Christ died for no purpose.

By Faith, or by Works of the Law?

ΠΡΟΣ ΓΑΛΑΤΑΣ 3 Ὦ ἀνόητοι Γαλάται, τίς ὑμᾶς ἐβάσκανεν, οἷς κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς προεγράφη ἐσταυρωμένος;

GALATIANS 3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?  z It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly  a portrayed as crucified.

2τοῦτο μόνον θέλω μαθεῖν ἀφ’ ὑμῶν· ἐξ ἔργων νόμου τὸ πνεῦμα ἐλάβετε ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως;

2Let me ask you only this:  b Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by  c hearing with faith?

3οὕτως ἀνόητοί ἐστε, ἐναρξάμενοι πνεύματι νῦν σαρκὶ ἐπιτελεῖσθε;

3Are you so foolish?  d Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by [1] the flesh?

4τοσαῦτα ἐπάθετε εἰκῇ; εἴ γε καὶ εἰκῇ.

4 e Did you suffer [2] so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

5ὁ οὖν ἐπιχορηγῶν ὑμῖν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἐνεργῶν δυνάμεις ἐν ὑμῖν, ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως;

5Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and  f works miracles among you do so  g by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—

6Καθὼς Ἀβραὰμ ἐπίστευσεν τῷ θεῷ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην·

6just as  h Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

7γινώσκετε ἄρα ὅτι οἱ ἐκ πίστεως, οὗτοι υἱοί εἰσιν Ἀβραάμ.

7Know then that it is  i those of faith who are  j the sons of Abraham.

8προϊδοῦσα δὲ ἡ γραφὴ ὅτι ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοῖ τὰ ἔθνη ὁ θεός, προευηγγελίσατο τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ὅτι ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη·

8And the Scripture, foreseeing that  k God would justify [3] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying,  l “In you shall all the nations be blessed.”

9ὥστε οἱ ἐκ πίστεως εὐλογοῦνται σὺν τῷ πιστῷ Ἀβραάμ.

9So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

10Ὅσοι γὰρ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσίν, ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν· γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὃς οὐκ ἐμμένει πᾶσιν τοῖς γεγραμμένοις ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτά.

10For all who rely on works of the law are  m under a curse; for it is written,  n “Cursed be everyone who does not  o abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”

11ὅτι δὲ ἐν νόμῳ οὐδεὶς δικαιοῦται παρὰ τῷ θεῷ δῆλον, ὅτι ὁ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται·

11Now it is evident that  p no one is justified before God by the law, for  q “The righteous shall live by faith.” [4]

12ὁ δὲ νόμος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ πίστεως, ἀλλ’ ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς.

12But the law is not of faith, rather  r “The one who does them shall live by them.”

13Χριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάρα, ὅτι γέγραπται· ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κρεμάμενος ἐπὶ ξύλου,

13Christ  s redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written,  t “Cursed is everyone who is hanged  u on a tree”—

14ἵνα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη ἡ εὐλογία τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ γένηται ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, ἵνα τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πνεύματος λάβωμεν διὰ τῆς πίστεως.

14so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might  v come to the Gentiles, so that  w we might receive  x the promised Spirit [5] through faith.

The Law and the Promise

15Ἀδελφοί, κατὰ ἄνθρωπον λέγω· ὅμως ἀνθρώπου κεκυρωμένην διαθήκην οὐδεὶς ἀθετεῖ ἢ ἐπιδιατάσσεται.

15 y To give a human example, brothers: [6]  z even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified.

16τῷ δὲ Ἀβραὰμ ἐρρέθησαν αἱ ἐπαγγελίαι καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ. οὐ λέγει· καὶ τοῖς σπέρμασιν, ὡς ἐπὶ πολλῶν ἀλλ’ ὡς ἐφ’ ἑνός· καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου, ὅς ἐστιν Χριστός.

16Now  a the promises were made  b to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one,  c “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.

17τοῦτο δὲ λέγω· διαθήκην προκεκυρωμένην ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ μετὰ τετρακόσια καὶ τριάκοντα ἔτη γεγονὼς νόμος οὐκ ἀκυροῖ εἰς τὸ καταργῆσαι τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν.

17This is what I mean: the law, which came  d 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as  e to make the promise void.

18εἰ γὰρ ἐκ νόμου ἡ κληρονομία, οὐκέτι ἐξ ἐπαγγελίας· τῷ δὲ Ἀβραὰμ δι’ ἐπαγγελίας κεχάρισται ὁ θεός.

18For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but  f God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

19Τί οὖν ὁ νόμος; τῶν παραβάσεων χάριν προσετέθη, ἄχρις οὗ ἔλθῃ τὸ σπέρμα ᾧ ἐπήγγελται, διαταγεὶς δι’ ἀγγέλων ἐν χειρὶ μεσίτου.

19Why then the law?  g It was added because of transgressions,  h until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was  i put in place through angels  j by an intermediary.

20ὁ δὲ μεσίτης ἑνὸς οὐκ ἔστιν, ὁ δὲ θεὸς εἷς ἐστιν.

20Now  k an intermediary implies more than one, but  l God is one.

21ὁ οὖν νόμος κατὰ τῶν ἐπαγγελιῶν [τοῦ θεοῦ]; μὴ γένοιτο. εἰ γὰρ ἐδόθη νόμος ὁ δυνάμενος ζῳοποιῆσαι, ὄντως ἐκ νόμου ἂν ἦν ἡ δικαιοσύνη·

21Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For  m if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

22ἀλλὰ συνέκλεισεν ἡ γραφὴ τὰ πάντα ὑπὸ ἁμαρτίαν, ἵνα ἡ ἐπαγγελία ἐκ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δοθῇ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν.

22But the Scripture  n imprisoned everything under sin, so that  o the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given  p to those who believe.

23Πρὸ τοῦ δὲ ἐλθεῖν τὴν πίστιν ὑπὸ νόμον ἐφρουρούμεθα συγκλειόμενοι εἰς τὴν μέλλουσαν πίστιν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι,

23Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law,  q imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.

24ὥστε ὁ νόμος παιδαγωγὸς ἡμῶν γέγονεν εἰς Χριστόν, ἵνα ἐκ πίστεως δικαιωθῶμεν·

24So then,  r the law was our  s guardian until Christ came,  t in order that we might be justified by faith.

25ἐλθούσης δὲ τῆς πίστεως οὐκέτι ὑπὸ παιδαγωγόν ἐσμεν.

25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

26Πάντες γὰρ υἱοὶ θεοῦ ἐστε διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ·

26for in Christ Jesus  u you are all sons of God, through faith.

27ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς Χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε, Χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε.

27For as many of you as  v were baptized  w into Christ have  x put on Christ.

28οὐκ ἔνι Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην, οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος, οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ· πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.

28 y There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave [7] nor free,  z there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29εἰ δὲ ὑμεῖς Χριστοῦ, ἄρα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ σπέρμα ἐστέ, κατ’ ἐπαγγελίαν κληρονόμοι.

29And  a if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring,  b heirs according to promise.
