ได้รับพระวิญญาณบริสุทธิ์โดยความเชื่อ
3:1 โอ ชาวกาลาเทียคนโง่เขลา ใครได้สะกดดวงจิตของพวกท่านเพื่อพวกท่านจะไม่เชื่อฟังความจริง ซึ่งต่อหน้าต่อตาของพวกท่านพระเยซูคริสต์ปรากฏอยู่อย่างชัดเจนแล้ว โดยทรงถูกตรึงไว้ท่ามกลางพวกท่าน
The Holy Spirit Comes by Faith
3:1 O 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?
3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
3:4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
3:5 He 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?
3:6 เหมือนกับที่อับราฮัม ได้เชื่อพระเจ้า และ ความเชื่อนั้นทรงนับว่าเป็นความชอบธรรมแก่ท่าน
Abraham's Spiritual Children
3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
3:8 And 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.
3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
3:10 เพราะว่าคนทั้งหลายซึ่งอยู่ฝ่ายการกระทำแห่งพระราชบัญญัติก็อยู่ใต้การสาปแช่ง เพราะมีเขียนไว้แล้วว่า ทุกคนที่ไม่ได้กระทำตามทุกข้อความซึ่งเขียนไว้ในหนังสือแห่งพระราชบัญญัติต่อไปก็ต้องถูกสาปแช่ง
One Under the Law Is Accursed
3:10 For 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.
3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
3:13 พระคริสต์ทรงไถ่พวกเราให้พ้นจากการสาปแช่งแห่งพระราชบัญญัติแล้ว โดยทรงยอมถูกสาปแช่งเพื่อพวกเรา เพราะมีเขียนไว้แล้วว่า ทุกคนที่ถูกแขวนไว้บนต้นไม้ก็ถูกสาปแช่ง
Christ Redeemed Us from the Law Curse
3:13 Christ 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:
3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
3:15 Brethren, 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.
3:16 Now 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.
3:17 And 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.
3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
3:19 ดังนั้นพระราชบัญญัติมีจุดประสงค์อะไรเล่า พระราชบัญญัติได้ถูกเพิ่มเข้ามาก็เพราะเหตุบรรดาการละเมิด จนกว่าเชื้อสายที่ได้รับพระสัญญานั้นจะมาถึง และพระราชบัญญัตินั้นได้รับการแต่งตั้งโดยพวกทูตสวรรค์ในมือของคนกลางคนหนึ่ง
The Law a Schoolmaster to Bring Us to Christ as Condemned Sinners
3:19 Wherefore 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.
3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
3:21 Is 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.
3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
3:25 แต่หลังจากความเชื่อนั้นได้มาแล้ว พวกเราก็ไม่ได้อยู่ใต้อำนาจของครูคนหนึ่งอีกต่อไปแล้ว
All Believers Are Children of God
3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
3:28 There 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.
3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
