1 ω ανοητοι γαλαται τισ υμασ εβασκανεν τη αληθεια μη πειθεσθαι οισ κατ οφθαλμουσ ιησουσ χριστοσ προεγραφη εν υμιν εσταυρωμενοσ
1 Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified?
2 τουτο μονον θελω μαθειν αφ υμων εξ εργων νομου το πνευμα ελαβετε η εξ ακοησ πιστεωσ
2 I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
3 ουτωσ ανοητοι εστε εναρξαμενοι πνευματι νυν σαρκι επιτελεισθε
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
4 τοσαυτα επαθετε εικη ειγε και εικη
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
5 ο ουν επιχορηγων υμιν το πνευμα και ενεργων δυναμεισ εν υμιν εξ εργων νομου η εξ ακοησ πιστεωσ
5 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
6 καθωσ αβρααμ επιστευσεν τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εισ δικαιοσυνην
6 Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
7 γινωσκετε 1097 V-PAI-2P αρα οτι οι εκ πιστεωσ ουτοι εισιν υιοι αβρααμ
7 Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.
8 προιδουσα δε η γραφη οτι εκ πιστεωσ δικαιοι τα εθνη ο θεοσ προευηγγελισατο τω αβρααμ οτι ενευλογηθησονται εν σοι παντα τα εθνη
8 The 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.”
9 ωστε οι εκ πιστεωσ ευλογουνται συν τω πιστω αβρααμ
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
10 οσοι γαρ εξ εργων νομου εισιν υπο καταραν εισιν γεγραπται γαρ επικαταρατοσ πασ οσ ουκ εμμενει εν πασιν τοισ γεγραμμενοισ εν τω βιβλιω του νομου του ποιησαι αυτα
10 For 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.”
11 οτι δε εν νομω ουδεισ δικαιουται παρα τω θεω δηλον οτι ο δικαιοσ εκ πιστεωσ ζησεται
11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
12 ο δε νομοσ ουκ εστιν εκ πιστεωσ αλλ ο ποιησασ αυτα ανθρωποσ ζησεται εν αυτοισ
12 The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”
13 χριστοσ ημασ εξηγορασεν εκ τησ καταρασ του νομου γενομενοσ υπερ ημων καταρα γεγραπται γαρ επικαταρατοσ πασ ο κρεμαμενοσ επι ξυλου
13 Christ 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,”
14 ινα εισ τα εθνη η ευλογια του αβρααμ γενηται εν χριστω ιησου ινα την επαγγελιαν του πνευματοσ λαβωμεν δια τησ πιστεωσ
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 αδελφοι κατα ανθρωπον λεγω ομωσ ανθρωπου κεκυρωμενην διαθηκην ουδεισ αθετει η επιδιατασσεται
15 Brothers, 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.
16 τω δε αβρααμ ερρηθησαν αι επαγγελιαι και τω σπερματι αυτου ου λεγει και τοισ σπερμασιν ωσ επι πολλων αλλ ωσ εφ ενοσ και τω σπερματι σου οσ εστιν χριστοσ
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.
17 τουτο δε λεγω διαθηκην προκεκυρωμενην υπο του θεου εισ χριστον ο μετα ετη τετρακοσια και τριακοντα γεγονωσ νομοσ ουκ ακυροι εισ το καταργησαι την επαγγελιαν
17 Now 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.
18 ει γαρ εκ νομου η κληρονομια ουκετι εξ επαγγελιασ τω δε αβρααμ δι επαγγελιασ κεχαρισται ο θεοσ
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
19 τι ουν ο νομοσ των παραβασεων χαριν προσετεθη αχρι ου ελθη το σπερμα ω επηγγελται διαταγεισ δι αγγελων εν χειρι μεσιτου
19 Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20 ο δε μεσιτησ ενοσ ουκ εστιν ο δε θεοσ εισ εστιν
20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
21 ο ουν νομοσ κατα των επαγγελιων του θεου μη γενοιτο ει γαρ εδοθη νομοσ ο δυναμενοσ ζωοποιησαι οντωσ αν εκ νομου ην η δικαιοσυνη
21 Is 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.
22 αλλα συνεκλεισεν η γραφη τα παντα υπο αμαρτιαν ινα η επαγγελια εκ πιστεωσ ιησου χριστου δοθη τοισ πιστευουσιν
22 But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 προ του δε ελθειν την πιστιν υπο νομον εφρουρουμεθα συγκεκλεισμενοι εισ την μελλουσαν πιστιν αποκαλυφθηναι
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 ωστε ο νομοσ παιδαγωγοσ ημων γεγονεν εισ χριστον ινα εκ πιστεωσ δικαιωθωμεν
24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 ελθουσησ δε τησ πιστεωσ ουκετι υπο παιδαγωγον εσμεν
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
26 παντεσ γαρ υιοι θεου εστε δια τησ πιστεωσ εν χριστω ιησου
26 For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 οσοι γαρ εισ χριστον εβαπτισθητε χριστον ενεδυσασθε
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 ουκ ενι ιουδαιοσ ουδε ελλην ουκ ενι δουλοσ ουδε ελευθεροσ ουκ ενι αρσεν και θηλυ παντεσ γαρ υμεισ εισ εστε εν χριστω ιησου
28 There 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.
29 ει δε υμεισ χριστου αρα του αβρααμ σπερμα εστε και κατ επαγγελιαν κληρονομοι
29 If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
It was added, until the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a Mediator." For the order of the words runs thus: "Wherefore then the law of works?
… deep, saying, "Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." And, "Be not children in understanding, howbeit in malice be ye children," that in "understanding ye may be perfect;" and "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you?" But now not in his own voice, but in Thine who sentest Thy Spirit from …

… ye are not so minded, our fathers thought it necessary by these boards to wall you off; since I hear from the elder ones, that of old there were not so much as these partitions; "For in Christ Jesus there is neither male nor female." And in the apostle's time also both men and women were together.

For before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, and, the law hath been our tutor to bring us unto Christ.

But you must hear too the words, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law;" and "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Give careful heed, too, to the words of the Lord, and note how, whenever He instructs us about His Father, He is in the habit of using terms of personal authority, saying, "I …
