¹O 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?16 sermons²This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?12 sermons³Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?12 sermons⁴Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.11 sermons⁵He 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?10 sermons⁶Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.11 sermons⁷Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.13 sermons⁸And 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.10 sermons⁹So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.11 sermons¹⁰For 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 sermons¹¹But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.13 sermons¹²And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.10 sermons¹³Christ 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:24 sermons¹⁴That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.11 sermons¹⁵Brethren, 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.9 sermons¹⁶Now 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.10 sermons¹⁷And 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.10 sermons¹⁸For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.9 sermons¹⁹Wherefore 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.12 sermons²⁰Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.12 sermons²¹Is 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.11 sermons²²But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.13 sermons²³But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.10 sermons²⁴Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.20 sermons²⁵But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.10 sermons²⁶For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.19 sermons²⁷For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.11 sermons²⁸There 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.13 sermons²⁹And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.11 sermons
