WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:08.080 Chapter 3 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not 00:08.080 --> 00:12.880 obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth 00:12.880 --> 00:14.440 crucified among you? 00:14.960 --> 00:16.900 This only would I learn of you. 00:17.460 --> 00:22.300 Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 00:23.040 --> 00:24.140 Are ye so foolish? 00:24.900 --> 00:28.500 Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 00:28.500 --> 00:33.420 Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if it be yet in vain? 00:34.220 --> 00:39.060 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, 00:39.680 --> 00:43.840 doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 00:44.420 --> 00:50.060 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 00:51.560 --> 00:57.340 Know ye therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of 00:57.340 --> 00:57.760 Abraham. 00:58.800 --> 01:03.480 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, 01:04.100 --> 01:10.560 preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be 01:10.560 --> 01:10.960 blessed. 01:11.880 --> 01:18.580 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham, for as many as are 01:18.580 --> 01:25.100 of the works of the law are under the curse, for it is written, Cursed is every 01:25.100 --> 01:29.860 one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law 01:29.860 --> 01:35.520 to do them, but that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God. 01:35.840 --> 01:42.820 It is evident, for the just shall live by faith, and the law is not of faith, 01:43.220 --> 01:46.940 but the man that doeth them shall live in them. 01:47.720 --> 01:53.760 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us, 01:54.400 --> 01:59.640 for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. 02:00.900 --> 02:05.800 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, 02:05.800 --> 02:10.220 that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 02:11.200 --> 02:17.040 Brethren, I speak after the manner of man, though it be but a man's covenant, 02:17.540 --> 02:22.660 yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth or addeth thereto. 02:23.540 --> 02:27.260 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. 02:27.260 --> 02:34.260 He saith not, and to seeds, as of many, but as of one, and to thy seed, 02:34.800 --> 02:35.560 which is Christ. 02:36.620 --> 02:42.020 And this I say, that the covenant that was confirmed before of God in Christ, 02:42.460 --> 02:46.700 the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannull, 02:47.160 --> 02:49.920 that it should make the promise of none effect. 02:50.380 --> 02:54.520 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. 02:54.520 --> 02:58.260 But God gave it to Abraham by promise. 02:59.200 --> 03:00.960 Wherefore then serveth the law? 03:01.680 --> 03:06.300 It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the 03:06.300 --> 03:11.180 promise was made, and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 03:12.020 --> 03:17.860 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. 03:18.280 --> 03:20.980 Is the law then against the promises of God? 03:20.980 --> 03:26.480 God forbid, for if there had been a law given, which could have given life, 03:27.120 --> 03:29.980 verily righteousness should have been by the law. 03:31.100 --> 03:36.080 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus 03:36.080 --> 03:39.040 Christ might be given to them that believe. 03:40.440 --> 03:45.280 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith, 03:45.440 --> 03:47.380 which should afterwards be revealed. 03:47.380 --> 03:53.620 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster, to bring us unto Christ, that we might be 03:53.620 --> 03:54.920 justified by faith. 03:55.440 --> 03:59.400 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 04:00.280 --> 04:04.680 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 04:05.380 --> 04:10.840 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 04:11.620 --> 04:13.760 There is neither Jew nor Greek. 04:14.200 --> 04:15.980 There is neither bond nor free. 04:15.980 --> 04:18.360 There is neither male nor female. 04:18.740 --> 04:21.440 For ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 04:21.880 --> 04:28.600 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
