The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

(cf. Rom 4:1–25 )

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:1

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:1 -

O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:2

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:2 - This is the only thing I want to learn from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of [fn]the Law, or by [fn]hearing with faith?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:3

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:3 - Are you so foolish? Having begun [fn]by the Spirit, are you now [fn]being perfected by the flesh?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:4

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:4 - Did you [fn]suffer so many things for nothing—if indeed it was for nothing?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:5

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:5 - So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works [fn]miracles among you, do it by the works of [fn]the Law, or by [fn]hearing with faith?

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:6

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:6 -

Just as Abraham BELIEVED GOD AND IT WAS COUNTED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:7

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:7 - so know that those who are of faith, those are sons of Abraham.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:8

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:8 - And the Scripture, foreseeing that God [fn]would justify the [fn]Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:9

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:9 - So then those who are of faith are blessed with [fn]Abraham, the believer.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:10

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:10 -

For as many as are of the works of [fn]the Law are under a curse, for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO DO THEM.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:11

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:11 - Now that no one is justified [fn]by [fn]the Law before God is evident, [fn]for “THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:12

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:12 - [fn]However, the Law is not [fn]of faith; rather, “HE WHO DOES THEM SHALL LIVE [fn]BY THEM.”

Tools

Tools

The Promise by Faith

(cf. Gen 12:1–3 )

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:15

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:15 -

Brothers, I speak [fn]in human terms: even though it is only a man’s [fn]covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds [fn]conditions to it.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:16

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:16 - Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but rather to one, “And TO YOUR SEED,” that is, Christ.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:17

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:17 - And what I am saying is this: the Law, which came 430 years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to abolish the promise.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:18

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:18 - For if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise, but God has granted it to Abraham through promise.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:19

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:19 -

Why the Law then? It was added [fn]because of trespasses, having been ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:20

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:20 - Now a mediator is not [fn]for one person only, whereas God is one.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:21

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:21 - Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed be by law.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:22

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:22 - But the Scripture has shut up [fn]everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:23

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:23 -

But before faith came, we were held in custody under the Law, being shut up for the coming faith to be revealed.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:24

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:24 - Therefore the Law has become our tutor unto Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:25

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:25 - But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a [fn]tutor.

Tools
