1O 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?  2This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of
the law, or by the hearing of faith?  3Are
ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?  4Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet
in vain.  5He 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?  6Even as Abraham
believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.  7Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the
children of Abraham.  8And 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.  9So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. (Galatians
3:1-9, King James
Version)
