O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
3:2
대기
I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
3:3
대기
Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
3:4
대기
Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
3:5
대기
Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
3:6
대기
So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
3:7
대기
Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
3:8
대기
The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
3:9
대기
So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
3:10
대기
All who rely on works of 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.”
3:11
대기
Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
3:12
대기
The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
3:13
대기
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.”
3:14
대기
He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
3:15
대기
Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
3:16
대기
The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
3:17
대기
What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.
3:18
대기
For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
3:19
대기
Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.
3:20
대기
A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
3:21
대기
Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
3:22
대기
But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.
3:23
대기
Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
3:24
대기
So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
3:25
대기
Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
3:26
대기
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
3:27
대기
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
3:28
대기
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
3:29
대기
And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
