갈라디아서 3

1어리석도다 갈라디아 사람들아 예수 그리스도께서 십자가에 못 박히신 것이 너희 눈 앞에 밝히 보이거늘 누가 너희를 꾀더냐 2내가 너희에게 다만 이것을 알려 하노니 너희가 성령을 받은 것은 율법의 행위로냐 듣고 믿음으로냐 3너희가 이같이 어리석으냐 성령으로 시작하였다가 이제는 육체로 마치겠느냐 4너희가 이같이 많은 괴로움을 헛되이 받았느냐 과연 헛되냐 5너희에게 성령을 주시고 너희 가운데서 능력을 행하시는 이의 일이 율법의 행위에서냐 듣고 믿음에서냐 6아브라함이 하나님을 믿으매 이것을 그에게 의로 정하셨다 함과 같으니라 7그런즉 믿음으로 말미암은 자들은 아브라함의 아들인 줄 알지어다 8또 하나님이 이방을 믿음으로 말미암아 의로 정하실 것을 성경이 미리 알고 먼저 아브라함에게 복음을 전하되 모든 이방이 너를 인하여 복을 받으리라 하였으니 9그러므로 믿음으로 말미암은 자는 믿음이 있는 아브라함과 함께 복을 받느니라 10무릇 율법 행위에 속한 자들은 저주 아래 있나니 기록된 바 누구든지 율법 책에 기록된 대로 온갖 일을 항상 행하지 아니하는 자는 저주 아래 있는 자라 하였음이라 11또 하나님 앞에서 아무나 율법으로 말미암아 의롭게 되지 못할 것이 분명하니 이는 의인이 믿음으로 살리라 하였음이니라 12율법은 믿음에서 난 것이 아니라 이를 행하는 자는 그 가운데서 살리라 하였느니라 13그리스도께서 우리를 위하여 저주를 받은 바 되사 율법의 저주에서 우리를 속량하셨으니 기록된 바 나무에 달린 자마다 저주 아래 있는 자라 하였음이라 14이는 그리스도 예수 안에서 아브라함의 복이 이방인에게 미치게 하고 또 우리로 하여금 믿음으로 말미암아 성령의 약속을 받게 하려 함이니라 15형제들아 사람의 예대로 말하노니 사람의 언약이라도 정한 후에는 아무나 폐하거나 더하거나 하지 못하느니라 16이 약속들은 아브라함과 그 자손에게 말씀하신 것인데 여럿을 가리켜 그 자손들이라 하지 아니하시고 오직 하나를 가리켜 네 자손이라 하셨으니 곧 그리스도라 17내가 이것을 말하노니 하나님의 미리 정하신 언약을 사백삼십 년 후에 생긴 율법이 없이 하지 못하여 그 약속을 헛되게 하지 못하리라 18만일 그 유업이 율법에서 난 것이면 약속에서 난 것이 아니리라 그러나 하나님이 약속으로 말미암아 아브라함에게 은혜로 주신 것이라 19그런즉 율법은 무엇이냐 범법함을 인하여 더한 것이라 천사들로 말미암아 중보의 손을 빌어 베푸신 것인데 약속하신 자손이 오시기까지 있을 것이라 20중보는 한 편만 위한 자가 아니니 오직 하나님은 하나이시니라 21그러면 율법이 하나님의 약속들을 거스리느냐 결코 그럴 수 없느니라 만일 능히 살게 하는 율법을 주셨더면 의가 반드시 율법으로 말미암았으리라 22그러나 성경이 모든 것을 죄 아래 가두었으니 이는 예수 그리스도를 믿음으로 말미암은 약속을 믿는 자들에게 주려 함이니라 23믿음이 오기 전에 우리가 율법 아래 매인 바 되고 계시될 믿음의 때까지 갇혔느니라 24이같이 율법이 우리를 그리스도에게로 인도하는 몽학선생이 되어 우리로 하여금 믿음으로 말미암아 의롭다 함을 얻게 하려 함이니라 25믿음이 온 후로는 우리가 몽학선생 아래 있지 아니하도다 26너희가 다 믿음으로 말미암아 그리스도 예수 안에서 하나님의 아들이 되었으니 27누구든지 그리스도와 합하여 침례를 받은 자는 그리스도로 옷 입었느니라 28너희는 유대인이나 헬라인이나 종이나 자주자나 남자나 여자 없이 다 그리스도 예수 안에서 하나이니라 29너희가 그리스도께 속한 자면 곧 아브라함의 자손이요 약속대로 유업을 이을 자니라

1Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified? 2I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith? 3Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh? 4Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain? 5He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith? 6Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.” 7Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham. 8The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.” 9So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. 10For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.” 12The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.” 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” 14that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 15Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it. 16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn’t say, “To seeds”, as of many, but as of one, “To your seed”, which is Christ. 17Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect. 18For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise. 19What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one. 21Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law. 22But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 26For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise.

1O gij uitzinnige Galaten, wie heeft u betoverd, dat gij der waarheid niet zoudt gehoorzaam zijn; denwelken Jezus Christus voor de ogen te voren geschilderd is geweest, onder u gekruist zijnde? 2Dit alleen wil ik van u leren: hebt gij den Geest ontvangen uit de werken der wet, of uit de prediking des geloofs? 3Zijt gij zo uitzinnig? Daar gij met den Geest begonnen zijt, voleindigt gij nu met het vlees? 4Hebt gij zoveel tevergeefs geleden? Indien maar ook tevergeefs! 5Die u dan den Geest verleent, en krachten onder u werkt, doet Hij dat uit de werken der wet, of uit de prediking des geloofs? 6Gelijkerwijs Abraham Gode geloofd heeft, en het is hem tot rechtvaardigheid gerekend; 7Zo verstaat gij dan, dat degenen, die uit het geloof zijn, Abrahams kinderen zijn. 8En de Schrift, te voren ziende, dat God de heidenen uit het geloof zou rechtvaardigen, heeft te voren aan Abraham het Evangelie verkondigd, zeggende: In u zullen al de volken gezegend worden. 9Zo dan, die uit het geloof zijn, worden gezegend met den gelovigen Abraham. 10Want zovelen als er uit de werken der wet zijn, die zijn onder den vloek; want er is geschreven: Vervloekt is een iegelijk, die niet blijft in al hetgeen geschreven is in het boek der wet, om dat te doen. 11En dat niemand door de wet gerechtvaardigd wordt voor God, is openbaar; want de rechtvaardige zal uit het geloof leven. 12Doch de wet is niet uit het geloof; maar de mens, die deze dingen doet, zal door dezelve leven. 13Christus heeft ons verlost van den vloek der wet, een vloek geworden zijnde voor ons; want er is geschreven: Vervloekt is een iegelijk, die aan het hout hangt. 14Opdat de zegening van Abraham tot de heidenen komen zou in Christus Jezus, en opdat wij de belofte des Geestes verkrijgen zouden door het geloof. 15Broeders, ik spreek naar den mens: zelfs eens mensen verbond, dat bevestigd is, doet niemand te niet, of niemand doet daartoe. 16Nu zo zijn de beloftenissen tot Abraham en zijn zaad gesproken. Hij zegt niet: En den zaden, als van velen; maar als van een: En uw zade; hetwelk is Christus. 17En dit zeg ik: Het verbond, dat te voren van God bevestigd is op Christus, wordt door de wet, die na vierhonderd en dertig jaren gekomen is, niet krachteloos gemaakt, om de beloftenis te niet te doen. 18Want indien de erfenis uit de wet is, zo is zij niet meer uit de beloftenis; maar God heeft ze Abraham door de beloftenis genadiglijk gegeven. 19Waartoe is dan de wet? Zij is om der overtredingen wil daarbij gesteld, totdat het zaad zou gekomen zijn, dien het beloofd was; en zij is door de engelen besteld in de hand des Middelaars. 20En de Middelaar is niet Middelaar van een, maar God is een. 21Is dan de wet tegen de beloftenissen Gods? Dat zij verre; want indien er een wet gegeven ware, die machtig was levend te maken, zo zou waarlijk de rechtvaardigheid uit de wet zijn. 22Maar de Schrift heeft het alles onder de zonde besloten, opdat de belofte uit het geloof van Jezus Christus aan de gelovigen zou gegeven worden. 23Doch eer het geloof kwam, waren wij onder de wet in bewaring gesteld, en zijn besloten geweest tot op het geloof, dat geopenbaard zou worden. 24Zo dan, de wet is onze tuchtmeester geweest tot Christus, opdat wij uit het geloof zouden gerechtvaardigd worden. 25Maar als het geloof gekomen is, zo zijn wij niet meer onder den tuchtmeester. 26Want gij zijt allen kinderen Gods door het geloof in Christus Jezus. 27Want zovelen als gij in Christus gedoopt zijt, hebt gij Christus aangedaan. 28Daarin is noch Jood noch Griek; daarin is noch dienstbare noch vrije; daarin is geen man en vrouw; want gij allen zijt een in Christus Jezus. 29En indien gij van Christus zijt, zo zijt gij dan Abrahams zaad, en naar de beloftenis erfgenamen.
