Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the trueth, to whome Iesus Christ before was described in your sight, and among you crucified?
O insensati Galatæ, quis vos fascinavit non obedire veritati, ante quorum oculos Jesus Christus præscriptus est, in vobis crucifixus?
2 This only would I learne of you, Receiued ye the Spirit by the workes of the Lawe, or by the hearing of faith preached?
Hoc solum a vobis volo discere: ex operibus legis Spiritum accepistis, an ex auditu fidei?
3 Are ye so foolish, that after ye haue begun in the Spirit, ye would now be made perfect by the flesh?
sic stulti estis, ut cum Spiritu cœperitis, nunc carne consummemini?
4 Haue ye suffered so many things in vaine? if so be it be euen in vaine.
tanta passi estis sine causa? si tamen sine causa.
5 He therefore that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it through the workes of the Law, or by the hearing of faith preached?
Qui ergo tribuit vobis Spiritum, et operatur virtutes in vobis: ex operibus legis, an ex auditu fidei?
6 Yea rather as Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed to him for righteousnes.
Sicut scriptum est: Abraham credidit Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam:
7 Knowe ye therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
cognoscite ergo quia qui ex fide sunt, ii sunt filii Abrahæ.
8 For the Scripture foreseeing, that God would iustifie the Gentiles through faith, preached before the Gospel vnto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.
Providens autem Scriptura quia ex fide justificat gentes Deus, prænuntiavit Abrahæ: Quia benedicentur in te omnes gentes.
9 So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham.
Igitur qui ex fide sunt, benedicentur cum fideli Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the workes of the Lawe, are vnder the curse: for it is written, Cursed is euery man that continueth not in all things, which are written in the booke of the Law, to doe them.
Quicumque enim ex operibus legis sunt, sub maledicto sunt. Scriptum est enim: Maledictus omnis qui non permanserit in omnibus quæ scripta sunt in libro legis ut faciat ea.
11 And that no man is iustified by the Law in the sight of God, it is euident: for the iust shall liue by faith.
Quoniam autem in lege nemo justificatur apud Deum, manifestum est: quia justus ex fide vivit.
12 And the Lawe is not of faith: but the man that shall doe those things, shall liue in them.
Lex autem non est ex fide, sed: Qui fecerit ea, vivet in illis.
13 Christ hath redeemed vs from the curse of the Lawe, made a curse for vs, (for it is written, Cursed is euery one that hangeth on tree)
Christus nos redemit de maledicto legis, factus pro nobis maledictum: quia scriptum est: Maledictus omnis qui pendet in ligno:
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Iesus, that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirite through faith.
ut in gentibus benedictio Abrahæ fieret in Christo Jesu, ut pollicitationem Spiritus accipiamus per fidem.
15 Brethren, I speake as men do: though it be but a mans couenant, when it is confirmed, yet no man doeth abrogate it, or addeth any thing thereto.
Fratres (secundum hominem dico) tamen hominis confirmatum testamentum nemo spernit, aut superordinat.
16 Nowe to Abraham and his seede were the promises made. Hee saith not, And to the seedes, as speaking of many: but, And to thy seede, as of one, which is Christ.
Abrahæ dictæ sunt promissiones, et semini ejus. Non dicit: Et seminibus, quasi in multis: sed quasi in uno: Et semini tuo, qui est Christus.
17 And this I say, that the couenant that was confirmed afore of God in respect of Christ, the Lawe which was foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres after, can not disanull, that it shoulde make the promise of none effect.
Hoc autem dico, testamentum confirmatum a Deo: quæ post quadringentos et triginta annos facta est lex, non irritum facit ad evacuandam promissionem.
18 For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise.
Nam si ex lege hæreditas, jam non ex promissione. Abrahæ autem per repromissionem donavit Deus.
19 Wherefore then serueth the Law? It was added because of the transgressions, til the seed came, vnto the which the promise was made: and it was ordeined by Angels in the hande of a Mediatour.
Quid igitur lex? Propter transgressiones posita est donec veniret semen, cui promiserat, ordinata per angelos in manu mediatoris.
20 Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one.
Mediator autem unius non est: Deus autem unus est.
21 Is the Lawe then against the promises of God? God forbid: For if there had bene a Lawe giuen which coulde haue giuen life, surely righteousnes should haue bene by the Lawe.
Lex ergo adversus promissa Dei? Absit. Si enim data esset lex, quæ posset vivificare, vere ex lege esset justitia.
22 But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should be giuen to them that beleeue.
Sed conclusit Scriptura omnia sub peccato, ut promissio ex fide Jesu Christi daretur credentibus.
23 But before faith came, we were kept vnder the Law, as vnder a garison, and shut vp vnto that faith, which should afterward be reueiled.
Prius autem quam veniret fides, sub lege custodiebamur conclusi in eam fidem quæ revelanda erat.
24 Wherefore the Lawe was our scholemaster to bring vs to Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith.
Itaque lex pædagogus noster fuit in Christo, ut ex fide justificemur.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer vnder a scholemaster.
At ubi venit fides, jam non sumus sub pædagogo.
26 For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus.
Omnes enim filii Dei estis per fidem, quæ est in Christo Jesu.
27 For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ.
Quicumque enim in Christo baptizati estis, Christum induistis.
28 There is neither Iewe nor Grecian: there is neither bonde nor free: there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Iesus.
Non est Judæus, neque Græcus: non est servus, neque liber: non est masculus, neque femina. Omnes enim vos unum estis in Christo Jesu.
29 And if ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heires by promise.
Si autem vos Christi, ergo semen Abrahæ estis, secundum promissionem hæredes.
