New Testament Galatians Galatians 1
King
James Version
1 Paul,
an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the
Father, who raised him from the dead;) 2 And all the brethren
which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace be to you and
peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 Who gave himself for
our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to
the will of God and our Father: 5 To whom be glory for
ever and ever. Amen. 6 I marvel that ye are so
soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another
gospel: 7 Which is not another;
but there be some that trouble you, and would
pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an
angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so
say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel
unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade
men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should
not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you,
brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received
it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For ye have heard of my
conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I
persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14 And profited in the
Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more
exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased
God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen;
immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17 Neither went I up to
Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. 18 Then after three years
I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 19 But other of the
apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. 20 Now the things which I
write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. 21 Afterwards I came into
the regions of Syria and Cilicia; 22 And was unknown by face
unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: 23 But they had heard
only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. 24 And they glorified God
in me. Galatians 2
King
James Version
2 Then
fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas,
and took Titus with me also. 2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I
preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation,
lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. 3 But neither Titus, who
was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: 4 And that because of
false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our
liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5 To whom we gave place
by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might
continue with you. 6 But of these who seemed
to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be
somewhat in conference added nothing to me: 7 But contrariwise, when
they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the
gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; 8 (For he that wrought
effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was
mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 9 And when James, Cephas,
and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto
me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we
should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. 10 Only they would that we
should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. 11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because
he was to be blamed. 12 For before that certain
came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he
withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. 13 And the other Jews
dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away
with their dissimulation. 14 But when I saw that
they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto
Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the
Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as
do the Jews? 15 We who are Jews by
nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 Knowing that a man is
not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even
we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of
Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no
flesh be justified. 17 But if, while we seek
to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore
Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. 18 For if I build again
the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law
am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 20 I am crucified with
Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the
grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in
vain. Galatians 3
King
James Version
3 O
foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth,
before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among
you? 2 This only would I learn
of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of
faith? 3 Are ye so foolish?
having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have ye suffered so
many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among
you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6 Even as Abraham
believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that
they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture,
foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before
the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all
nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be
of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of
the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth
not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is
justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of
faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in
them. 13 Christ hath redeemed us
from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth
on a tree: 14 That the blessing of
Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might
receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 15 Brethren, I speak after
the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed,
no man disannulleth, or addeth
thereto. 16 Now to Abraham and his
seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to
seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God
in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot
disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18 For if the inheritance
be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by
promise. 19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions,
till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained
by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator is not a
mediator of one, but God is one. 21 Is the law then against
the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had
been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should
have been by the law. 22 But the scripture hath
concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be
given to them that believe. 23 But before faith came,
we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be
revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was
our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is
come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the
children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as
have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew
nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's,
then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 4
King
James Version
4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of
all; 2 But is under tutors and
governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we
were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 But when the fulness of
the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the
law, 5 To redeem them that
were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are
sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying,
Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no
more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 8 Howbeit then, when ye
knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. 9 But now, after that ye
have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and
beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and
months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you,
lest I have bestowed upon you labour
in vain. 12 Brethren, I beseech
you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 13 Ye know how through
infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 14 And my temptation which
was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of
God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 Where is then the
blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have
plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 16 Am I therefore
become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? 17 They zealously affect
you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. 18 But it is good to be
zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present
with you. 19 My little children, of
whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, 20 I desire to be present
with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you. 21 Tell me, ye that desire
to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 22 For it is written, that
Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the
other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the
bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 24 Which things are an
allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai,
which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 25 For this Agar is mount
Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which
now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26 But Jerusalem which is
above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written,
Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth
and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate
hath many more children than she which hath an
husband. 28 Now we, brethren, as
Isaac was, are the children of promise. 29 But as then he that was
born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so
it is now. 30 Nevertheless what saith
the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the
bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 31 So then, brethren, we
are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. Galatians 5
King
James Version
5 Stand
fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall
profit you nothing. 3 For I testify again to
every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no
effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen
from grace. 5 For we through the
Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Jesus Christ
neither circumcision availeth any
thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 8 This persuasion cometh
not of him that calleth you. 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in
you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. 11 And I, brethren, if I
yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then
is the offence of the cross ceased. 12 I would they were even
cut off which trouble you. 13 For, brethren, ye have
been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh,
but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is
fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and
devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of
the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the
things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the
flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft,
hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of
the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they
which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law. 24 And they that are
Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the
Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous
of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 6
King
James Version
6 Brethren,
if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself,
lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's
burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think
himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth
himself. 4 But let every man prove
his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in
another. 5 For every man shall
bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught
in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in
all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is
not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to
his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the
Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary
in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if
we faint not. 10 As we have therefore
opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the
household of faith. 11 Ye see how large a
letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to
make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only
lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For neither they
themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I
should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world
is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus
neither circumcision availeth any
thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk
according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of
God. 17 From henceforth let no
man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 18 Brethren, the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
