Galatians 3
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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?
1O insensati Galatæ, quis vos fascinavit non obedire veritati, ante quorum oculos Jesus Christus præscriptus est, in vobis crucifixus?
2This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
2Hoc solum a vobis volo discere: ex operibus legis Spiritum accepistis, an ex auditu fidei?
3Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
3sic stulti estis, ut cum Spiritu cœperitis, nunc carne consummemini?
4Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
4tanta passi estis sine causa? si tamen sine causa.
5He 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?
5Qui ergo tribuit vobis Spiritum, et operatur virtutes in vobis: ex operibus legis, an ex auditu fidei?
6Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
6Sicut scriptum est: Abraham credidit Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam:
7Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
7cognoscite ergo quia qui ex fide sunt, ii sunt filii Abrahæ.
8And 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.
8Providens autem Scriptura quia ex fide justificat gentes Deus, prænuntiavit Abrahæ: Quia benedicentur in te omnes gentes.
9So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
9Igitur qui ex fide sunt, benedicentur cum fideli Abraham.
10For 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.
10Quicumque 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.
11But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
11Quoniam autem in lege nemo justificatur apud Deum, manifestum est: quia justus ex fide vivit.
12And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
12Lex autem non est ex fide, sed: Qui fecerit ea, vivet in illis.
13Christ 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:
13Christus nos redemit de maledicto legis, factus pro nobis maledictum: quia scriptum est: Maledictus omnis qui pendet in ligno:
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
14ut in gentibus benedictio Abrahæ fieret in Christo Jesu, ut pollicitationem Spiritus accipiamus per fidem.
15Brethren, 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.
15Fratres (secundum hominem dico) tamen hominis confirmatum testamentum nemo spernit, aut superordinat.
16Now 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.
16Abrahæ dictæ sunt promissiones, et semini ejus. Non dicit: Et seminibus, quasi in multis: sed quasi in uno: Et semini tuo, qui est Christus.
17And 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.
17Hoc autem dico, testamentum confirmatum a Deo: quæ post quadringentos et triginta annos facta est lex, non irritum facit ad evacuandam promissionem.
18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
18Nam si ex lege hæreditas, jam non ex promissione. Abrahæ autem per repromissionem donavit Deus.
19Wherefore 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.
19Quid igitur lex? Propter transgressiones posita est donec veniret semen, cui promiserat, ordinata per angelos in manu mediatoris.
20Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
20Mediator autem unius non est: Deus autem unus est.
21Is 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.
21Lex ergo adversus promissa Dei? Absit. Si enim data esset lex, quæ posset vivificare, vere ex lege esset justitia.
22But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
22Sed conclusit Scriptura omnia sub peccato, ut promissio ex fide Jesu Christi daretur credentibus.
23But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
23Prius autem quam veniret fides, sub lege custodiebamur conclusi in eam fidem quæ revelanda erat.
24Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
24Itaque lex pædagogus noster fuit in Christo, ut ex fide justificemur.
25But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
25At ubi venit fides, jam non sumus sub pædagogo.
26For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
26Omnes enim filii Dei estis per fidem, quæ est in Christo Jesu.
27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
27Quicumque enim in Christo baptizati estis, Christum induistis.
28There 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.
28Non est Judæus, neque Græcus: non est servus, neque liber: non est masculus, neque femina. Omnes enim vos unum estis in Christo Jesu.
29And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
29Si autem vos Christi, ergo semen Abrahæ estis, secundum promissionem hæredes.
