Holman Christian Standard Bible

Galatians 3:1-7 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. You foolish Galatians! Who has hypnotized you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified?

2. I only want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?

3. Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now going to be made complete by the flesh?

4. Did you suffer so much for nothing — if in fact it was for nothing?

5. So then, does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?

6. Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,

7. then understand that those who have faith are Abraham’s sons.
