GR Ὦ ἀνόητοι Γαλάται, τίς ὑμᾶς ἐβάσκανεν, οἷς κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς προεγράφη ἐσταυρωμένος;
LA O insensati Galatæ, quis vos fascinavit non obedire veritati, ante quorum oculos Jesus Christus præscriptus est, in vobis crucifixus?
EN O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth: before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been set forth, crucified among you?

2
GR τοῦτο μόνον θέλω μαθεῖν ἀφ’ ὑμῶν, ἐξ ἔργων νόμου τὸ πνεῦμα ἐλάβετε ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως;
LA Hoc solum a vobis volo discere: ex operibus legis Spiritum accepistis, an ex auditu fidei?
EN This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?
^2
3
GR οὕτως ἀνόητοί ἐστε; ἐναρξάμενοι πνεύματι νῦν σαρκὶ ἐπιτελεῖσθε;
LA sic stulti estis, ut cum Spiritu cœperitis, nunc carne consummemini?
EN Are you so foolish that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
^3
4
GR τοσαῦτα ἐπάθετε εἰκῇ; εἴ γε καὶ εἰκῇ.
LA tanta passi estis sine causa? si tamen sine causa.
EN Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
^4
5
GR ὁ οὖν ἐπιχορηγῶν ὑμῖν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἐνεργῶν δυνάμεις ἐν ὑμῖν ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἢ ἐξ ἀκοῆς πίστεως;
LA Qui ergo tribuit vobis Spiritum, et operatur virtutes in vobis: ex operibus legis, an ex auditu fidei?
EN He therefore who gives to you the Spirit and works miracles among you: does he do it by the works of the law or by the hearing of the faith?
^5

GR καθὼς Ἀβραὰμ ἐπίστευσεν τῷ θεῷ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην.
LA Sicut scriptum est: Abraham credidit Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam:
EN As it is written: Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice.

GR γινώσκετε ἄρα ὅτι οἱ ἐκ πίστεως, οὗτοι υἱοί εἰσιν Ἀβραάμ.
LA cognoscite ergo quia qui ex fide sunt, ii sunt filii Abrahæ.
EN Know, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

GR προϊδοῦσα δὲ ἡ γραφὴ ὅτι ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοῖ τὰ ἔθνη ὁ θεὸς προευηγγελίσατο τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ὅτι ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.
LA Providens autem Scriptura quia ex fide justificat gentes Deus, prænuntiavit Abrahæ: Quia benedicentur in te omnes gentes.
EN And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifies the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In you shall all nations be blessed.

GR ὥστε οἱ ἐκ πίστεως εὐλογοῦνται σὺν τῷ πιστῷ Ἀβραάμ.

GR ὅσοι γὰρ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσὶν ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν: γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὃς οὐκ ἐμμένει πᾶσιν τοῖς γεγραμμένοις ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτά.
LA 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.
EN For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one that abides, not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
^10
11
GR ὅτι δὲ ἐν νόμῳ οὐδεὶς δικαιοῦται παρὰ τῷ θεῷ δῆλον, ὅτι ὁ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται:
LA Quoniam autem in lege nemo justificatur apud Deum, manifestum est: quia justus ex fide vivit.
EN But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man lives by faith.
^11
12
GR ὁ δὲ νόμος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ πίστεως, ἀλλ’ ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς.
LA Lex autem non est ex fide, sed: Qui fecerit ea, vivet in illis.
EN But the law is not of faith: but he that does those things shall live in them.
^12
13
GR Χριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάρα, ὅτι γέγραπται, ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κρεμάμενος ἐπὶ ξύλου,
LA Christus nos redemit de maledicto legis, factus pro nobis maledictum: quia scriptum est: Maledictus omnis qui pendet in ligno:
EN Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree).
^13
14
GR ἵνα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη ἡ εὐλογία τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ γένηται ἐν Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ, ἵνα τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πνεύματος λάβωμεν διὰ τῆς πίστεως.
LA ut in gentibus benedictio Abrahæ fieret in Christo Jesu, ut pollicitationem Spiritus accipiamus per fidem.
EN That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
^14
15
GR ἀδελφοί, κατὰ ἄνθρωπον λέγω: ὅμως ἀνθρώπου κεκυρωμένην διαθήκην οὐδεὶς ἀθετεῖ ἢ ἐπιδιατάσσεται.
LA Fratres (secundum hominem dico) tamen hominis confirmatum testamentum nemo spernit, aut superordinat.
EN Brethren (I speak after the manner of man), yet a man’s testament, if it be confirmed, no man despises nor adds to it.
^15
16
GR τῷ δὲ Ἀβραὰμ ἐρρέθησαν αἱ ἐπαγγελίαι καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ. οὐ λέγει, καὶ τοῖς σπέρμασιν, ὡς ἐπὶ πολλῶν, ἀλλ’ ὡς ἐφ’ ἑνός, καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου, ὅς ἐστιν Χριστός.
LA Abrahæ dictæ sunt promissiones, et semini ejus. Non dicit: Et seminibus, quasi in multis: sed quasi in uno: Et semini tuo, qui est Christus.
EN To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He says not: And to his seeds as of many. But as of one: And to your seed, which is Christ.
^16
17
GR τοῦτο δὲ λέγω: διαθήκην προκεκυρωμένην ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ μετὰ τετρακόσια καὶ τριάκοντα ἔτη γεγονὼς νόμος οὐκ ἀκυροῖ, εἰς τὸ καταργῆσαι τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν.
LA Hoc autem dico, testamentum confirmatum a Deo: quæ post quadringentos et triginta annos facta est lex, non irritum facit ad evacuandam promissionem.
EN Now this I say: that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years does not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.
^17
18
GR εἰ γὰρ ἐκ νόμου ἡ κληρονομία, οὐκέτι ἐξ ἐπαγγελίας: τῷ δὲ Ἀβραὰμ δι’ ἐπαγγελίας κεχάρισται ὁ θεός.
LA Nam si ex lege hæreditas, jam non ex promissione. Abrahæ autem per repromissionem donavit Deus.
EN For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
^18
19
GR τί οὖν ὁ νόμος; τῶν παραβάσεων χάριν προσετέθη, ἄχρις ἂν ἔλθῃ τὸ σπέρμα ᾧ ἐπήγγελται, διαταγεὶς δι’ ἀγγέλων ἐν χειρὶ μεσίτου.
LA Quid igitur lex? Propter transgressiones posita est donec veniret semen, cui promiserat, ordinata per angelos in manu mediatoris.
EN Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
^19
20
GR ὁ δὲ μεσίτης ἑνὸς οὐκ ἔστιν, ὁ δὲ θεὸς εἷς ἐστιν.
LA Mediator autem unius non est: Deus autem unus est.
EN Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
^20
21
GR ὁ οὖν νόμος κατὰ τῶν ἐπαγγελιῶν [τοῦ θεοῦ]; μὴ γένοιτο: εἰ γὰρ ἐδόθη νόμος ὁ δυνάμενος ζῳοποιῆσαι, ὄντως ἐν νόμῳ ἂν ἦν ἡ δικαιοσύνη:
LA Lex ergo adversus promissa Dei? Absit. Si enim data esset lex, quæ posset vivificare, vere ex lege esset justitia.
EN Was the law then against the promises of God: God forbid! For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.
^21
22
GR ἀλλὰ συνέκλεισεν ἡ γραφὴ τὰ πάντα ὑπὸ ἁμαρτίαν ἵνα ἡ ἐπαγγελία ἐκ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δοθῇ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν.
LA Sed conclusit Scriptura omnia sub peccato, ut promissio ex fide Jesu Christi daretur credentibus.
EN But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
^22
23
GR πρὸ τοῦ δὲ ἐλθεῖν τὴν πίστιν ὑπὸ νόμον ἐφρουρούμεθα συγκλειόμενοι εἰς τὴν μέλλουσαν πίστιν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι.
LA Prius autem quam veniret fides, sub lege custodiebamur conclusi in eam fidem quæ revelanda erat.
EN But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
^23
24
GR ὥστε ὁ νόμος παιδαγωγὸς ἡμῶν γέγονεν εἰς Χριστόν, ἵνα ἐκ πίστεως δικαιωθῶμεν:
LA Itaque lex pædagogus noster fuit in Christo, ut ex fide justificemur.
EN Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ: that we might be justified by faith.
^24
[!note]- Pedagogue…
That is, schoolmaster, conductor, or instructor.
25
GR ἐλθούσης δὲ τῆς πίστεως οὐκέτι ὑπὸ παιδαγωγόν ἐσμεν.
LA At ubi venit fides, jam non sumus sub pædagogo.
EN But after the faith has come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
^25
[!note]- Because of transgressions…
To restrain them from sin, by fear and threats.
[!note]- Ordained by angels…
The law was delivered by angels, speaking in the name and person of God to Moses, who was the mediator, on this occasion, between God and the people.
[!note]- Hath concluded all under sin…
that is, hath declared all to be under sin, from which they could not be delivered but by faith in Jesus Christ, the promised seed.
26
GR πάντες γὰρ υἱοὶ θεοῦ ἐστε διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
LA Omnes enim filii Dei estis per fidem, quæ est in Christo Jesu.
EN For you are all the children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus.
^26
27
GR ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς Χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε, Χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε.
LA Quicumque enim in Christo baptizati estis, Christum induistis.
EN For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have put on Christ.
^27
28
GR οὐκ ἔνι Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην, οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος, οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ: πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
LA Non est Judæus, neque Græcus: non est servus, neque liber: non est masculus, neque femina. Omnes enim vos unum estis in Christo Jesu.
EN There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
^28
29
GR εἰ δὲ ὑμεῖς Χριστοῦ, ἄρα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ σπέρμα ἐστέ, κατ’ ἐπαγγελίαν κληρονόμοι.
LA Si autem vos Christi, ergo semen Abrahæ estis, secundum promissionem hæredes.
EN And if you be Christ’s, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
^29
[!note]- Neither Jew, etc…
That is, no distinction of Jew, etc.
