Galatians 2:21-3:7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.

3 O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you?

² This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

³ Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?

⁴ Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.

⁵ He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you; doth he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?

⁶ As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.

⁷ Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
