Galatians 3

Question 1

Galatians 3:1

Answer 1

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.

Question 2

Galatians 3:2

Answer 2

Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?

Question 3

Galatians 3:3

Answer 3

Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

Question 4

Galatians 3:4

Answer 4

Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

Question 5

Galatians 3:5

Answer 5

Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—

Question 6

Galatians 3:6

Answer 6

just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

Question 7

Galatians 3:7

Answer 7

Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.

Question 8

Galatians 3:8

Answer 8

And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify[c] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.”

Question 9

Galatians 3:9

Answer 9

So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

Question 10

Galatians 3:10

Answer 10

For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”

Question 11

Galatians 3:11

Answer 11

Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Question 12

Galatians 3:12

Answer 12

But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”

Question 13

Galatians 3:13

Answer 13

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—

Question 14

Galatians 3:14

Answer 14

so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

Question 15

Galatians 3:15

Answer 15

To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified.

Question 16

Galatians 3:16

Answer 16

Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.

Question 17

Galatians 3:17

Answer 17

This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.

Question 18

Galatians 3:18

Answer 18

For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

Question 19

Galatians 3:19

Answer 19

Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary.

Question 20

Galatians 3:20

Answer 20

Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.

Question 21

Galatians 3:21

Answer 21

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

Question 22

Galatians 3:22

Answer 22

But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Question 23

Galatians 3:23

Answer 23

Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.

Question 24

Galatians 3:24

Answer 24

So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.

Question 25

Galatians 3:25

Answer 25

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

Question 26

Galatians 3:26

Answer 26

for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.

Question 27

Galatians 3:27

Answer 27

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Question 28

Galatians 3:28

Answer 28

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Question 29

Galatians 3:29

Answer 29

And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.
