3:1  o insensati Galatae quis vos            1.  O foolish Galatians, who hath  
fascinavit ante quorum oculos Iesus          bewitched you, that ye should not obey  
Christus proscriptus est crucifixus          the truth, before whose eyes Jesus  
                                             Christ hath been evidently set forth,  
                                             crucified among you?
                                             
3:2  hoc solum volo a vobis discere ex       2.  This only would I learn of you,  
operibus legis Spiritum accepistis an        Received ye the Spirit by the works of  
ex auditu fidei                              the law, or by the hearing of faith?
                                             
3:3  sic stulti estis cum Spiritu            3.  Are ye so foolish? having begun in  
coeperitis nunc carne consummamini           the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by  
                                             the flesh?
                                             
3:4  tanta passi estis sine causa si         4.  Have ye suffered so many things in  
tamen sine causa                             vain? if it be yet in vain.
                                             
3:5  qui ergo tribuit vobis Spiritum et      5.  He therefore that ministereth to  
operatur virtutes in vobis ex operibus       you the Spirit, and worketh miracles  
legis an ex auditu fidei                     among you, doeth he it by the works of  
                                             the law, or by the hearing of faith?
                                             
3:6  sicut Abraham credidit Deo et           6.  Even as Abraham believed God, and  
reputatum est ei ad iustitiam                it was accounted to him for  
                                             righteousness.
                                             
3:7  cognoscitis ergo quia qui ex fide       7.  Know ye therefore that they which  
sunt hii sunt filii Abrahae                  are of faith, the same are the children  
                                             of Abraham.
                                             
3:8  providens autem scriptura quia ex       8.  And the scripture, foreseeing that  
fide iustificat gentes Deus                  God would justify the heathen through  
praenuntiavit Abrahae quia benedicentur      faith, preached before the gospel unto  
in te omnes gentes                           Abraham, saying, In thee shall all  
                                             nations be blessed.
                                             
3:9  igitur qui ex fide sunt                 9.  So then they which be of faith are  
benedicentur cum fideli Abraham              blessed with faithful Abraham.
                                             
3:10  quicumque enim ex operibus legis       10.  For as many as are of the works of  
sunt sub maledicto sunt scriptum est         the law are under the curse: for it is  
enim maledictus omnis qui non                written, Cursed is every one that  
permanserit in omnibus quae scripta          continueth not in all things which are  
sunt in libro legis ut faciat ea             written in the book of the law to do  
                                             them.
                                             
3:11  quoniam autem in lege nemo             11.  But that no man is justified by  
iustificatur apud Deum manifestum est        the law in the sight of God, it is  
quia iustus ex fide vivit                    evident: for, The just shall live by  
                                             faith.
                                             
3:12  lex autem non est ex fide sed qui      12.  And the law is not of faith: but,  
fecerit ea vivet in illis                    The man that doeth them shall live in  
                                             them.
                                             
3:13  Christus nos redemit de maledicto      13.  Christ hath redeemed us from the  
legis factus pro nobis maledictum quia       curse of the law, being made a curse  
scriptum est maledictus omnis qui            for us: for it is written, Cursed is  
pendet in ligno                              every one that hangeth on a tree:
                                             
3:14  ut in gentibus benedictio Abrahae      14.  That the blessing of Abraham might  
fieret in Christo Iesu ut                    come on the Gentiles through Jesus  
pollicitationem Spiritus accipiamus per      Christ; that we might receive the  
fidem                                        promise of the Spirit through faith.
                                             
3:15  fratres secundum hominem dico          15.  Brethren, I speak after the manner  
tamen hominis confirmatum testamentum        of men; Though it be but a man's  
nemo spernit aut superordinat                covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no  
                                             man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
                                             
3:16  Abrahae dictae sunt promissiones       16.  Now to Abraham and his seed were  
et semini eius non dicit et seminibus        the promises made. He saith not, And to  
quasi in multis sed quasi in uno et          seeds, as of many; but as of one, And  
semini tuo qui est Christus                  to thy seed, which is Christ.
                                             
3:17  hoc autem dico testamentum             17.  And this I say, that the covenant,  
confirmatum a Deo quae post                  that was confirmed before of God in  
quadringentos et triginta annos facta        Christ, the law, which was four hundred  
est lex non irritam facit ad evacuandam      and thirty years after, cannot  
promissionem                                 disannul, that it should make the  
                                             promise of none effect.
                                             
3:18  nam si ex lege hereditas iam non       18.  For if the inheritance be of the  
ex repromissione Abrahae autem per           law, it is no more of promise: but God  
promissionem donavit Deus                    gave it to Abraham by promise.
                                             
3:19  quid igitur lex propter                19.  Wherefore then serveth the law? It  
transgressiones posita est donec             was added because of transgressions,  
veniret semen cui promiserat ordinata        till the seed should come to whom the  
per angelos in manu mediatoris               promise was made; and it was ordained  
                                             by angels in the hand of a mediator.
                                             
3:20  mediator autem unius non est Deus      20.  Now a mediator is not a mediator  
autem unus est                               of one, but God is one.
                                             
3:21  lex ergo adversus promissa Dei         21.  Is the law then against the  
absit si enim data esset lex quae            promises of God? God forbid: for if  
posset vivificare vere ex lege esset         there had been a law given which could  
iustitia                                     have given life, verily righteousness  
                                             should have been by the law.
                                             
3:22  sed conclusit scriptura omnia sub      22.  But the scripture hath concluded  
peccato ut promissio ex fide Iesu            all under sin, that the promise by  
Christi daretur credentibus                  faith of Jesus Christ might be given to  
                                             them that believe.
                                             
3:23  prius autem quam veniret fides         23.  But before faith came, we were  
sub lege custodiebamur conclusi in eam       kept under the law, shut up unto the  
fidem quae revelanda erat                    faith which should afterwards be  
                                             revealed.
                                             
3:24  itaque lex pedagogus noster fuit       24.  Wherefore the law was our  
in Christo ut ex fide iustificemur           schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ,  
                                             that we might be justified by faith.
                                             
3:25  at ubi venit fides iam non sumus       25.  But after that faith is come, we  
sub pedagogo                                 are no longer under a schoolmaster.
                                             
3:26  omnes enim filii Dei estis per         26.  For ye are all the children of God  
fidem in Christo Iesu                        by faith in Christ Jesus.
                                             
3:27  quicumque enim in Christo              27.  For as many of you as have been  
baptizati estis Christum induistis           baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
                                             
3:28  non est Iudaeus neque Graecus non      28.  There is neither Jew nor Greek,  
est servus neque liber non est masculus      there is neither bond nor free, there  
neque femina omnes enim vos unum estis       is neither male nor female: for ye are  
in Christo Iesu                              all one in Christ Jesus.
                                             
3:29  si autem vos Christi ergo Abrahae      29.  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye  
semen estis secundum promissionem            Abraham's seed, and heirs according to  
heredes                                      the promise.
