1. O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as having been crucified?
2. I want only to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3. Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now trying to be made complete by the flesh?
4. Have you suffered so many things for nothing—if indeed also it was for nothing?
5. Therefore does the one who gives you the Spirit and who works miracles among you do so by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6. Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,
7. then understand that the ones who have faith, these are sons of Abraham.
