MODERN LITERAL VERSION

3:1 O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you* not to obey the truth, before whose eyes, Jesus Christ was portrayed among you* as crucified?
3:2 I only wish to learn this from you*. Did you* receive the Spirit from the works of the law or from the hearing of faith?
3:3 Are you* so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you* now being perfected in the flesh?
3:4 You* suffered vainly so-many things? If actually also it was vainly.
3:5 Therefore is the one supplying the Spirit to you* and working miracles among you*, are they from the works of the law or from the hearing of faith?

3:6 Just-as Abraham believed God and it was counted to him *for righteousness. {Gen. 15:6?}
3:7 Consequently, know that those who are from faith, they are sons of Abraham.
3:8 Now the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles from faith, proclaimed the good-news beforehand to Abraham, saying, ‘All the nations will be blessed in you.' {Gen. 12:3, 18:18, 22:18, 26:4, 28:14}
3:9 So-then those who are sons from faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
3:10 For* as many as are from the works of the law are under a curse; for* it has been written, ‘Cursed is everyone who does not remain in all things which are written in the book of the law, and to do them.' {Deut. 27:26}
3:11 Now it is evident that no one is justified in the law before God, because, ‘The righteous will live from faith.' {Hab. 2:4}
3:12 Now the law is not from faith, but, ‘The man who does them will live in them.' {Lev. 18:5}
3:13 Christ bought us up out of the curse of the law, having become a curse on our behalf; for* it has been written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs upon a tree,' {Deut. 21:23}
3:14 that* the blessing of Abraham might happen to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus; that* we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

3:15 Brethren, I am speaking according to the manner of man, even a man's covenant* when it has been validated, no one nullifies or alters it with provisions.
3:16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He did not say and to seeds, as of many, but as of one and ‘to your seed,' which is Christ. {Gen. 22:18, 26:4}
3:17 Now I am saying this: the law, having happened four hundred and thirty years after ward, is not invalidating a covenant* validated beforehand by God in reference to Christ, to this end, that it should do-away-with the promise.
3:18 For* if the inheritance is out of the law, it is no more out of the promise, but God has granted it to Abraham through the promise.
3:19 Then* why is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till whenever the seed has come to whom the promise has been made; having been appointed through messengers by the hand of a intermediary.
3:20 Now a intermediary is not of one, but God is one.
3:21 Then* is the law against the promises of God? Let it not happen! For* if there had been a law given which could give-life, righteousness really would have been from the law.
3:22 But the Scriptures locked up together all things under sin, that* the promise which comes from the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

3:23 But before the faith came, we were kept under the law, having been locked up together to the faith which was about to be revealed.
3:24 So-that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that* we might be justified from the faith.
3:25 But when the faith came, we are no longer under a tutor.
3:26 For* you* are all sons of God, through the faith, in Christ Jesus.
3:27 For* as many as were immersed* into Christ were clothed with Christ.
3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for* you* all are one in Christ Jesus.
3:29 But if you* are Christ's, you* are also Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
