Term
Galatians 1:1
Definition
Paul, an apostle — not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead —
Term
Galatians 1:2
Definition
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
Term
Galatians 1:3
Definition
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Term
Galatians 1:4
Definition
who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
Term
Galatians 1:5
Definition
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Term
Galatians 1:6
Definition
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel —
Term
Galatians 1:7
Definition
not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
Term
Galatians 1:8
Definition
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
Term
Galatians 1:9
Definition
As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
Term
Galatians 1:10
Definition
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Term
Galatians 1:11
Definition
For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel*.

*Greek: not according to man
Term
Galatians 1:12
Definition
For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Term
Galatians 1:13
Definition
For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.
Term
Galatians 1:14
Definition
And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.
Term
Galatians 1:15
Definition
But when he who had set me apart before I was born,1 and who called me by his grace,
Term
Galatians 1:16
Definition
was pleased to reveal his Son to^ me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone*;

^Greek: in
*Greek: with flesh and blood
Term
Galatians 1:17
Definition
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Term
Galatians 1:18
Definition
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.
Term
Galatians 1:19
Definition
But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother.
Term
Galatians 1:20
Definition
(In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)
Term
Galatians 1:21
Definition
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Term
Galatians 1:22
Definition
And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Term
Galatians 1:23
Definition
They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
Term
Galatians 1:24
Definition
And they glorified God because of me.
Term
Galatians 2:1
Definition
Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.
Term
Galatians 2:2
Definition
I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain.
Term
Galatians 2:3
Definition
But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.
Term
Galatians 2:4
Definition
Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in — who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery —
Term
Galatians 2:5
Definition
to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
Term
Galatians 2:6
Definition
And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me.
Term
Galatians 2:7
Definition
On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised,
Term
Galatians 2:8
Definition
(for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),
Term
Galatians 2:9
Definition
and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
Term
Galatians 2:10
Definition
Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
Term
Galatians 2:11
Definition
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.
Term
Galatians 2:12
Definition
For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.
Term
Galatians 2:13
Definition
And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
Term
Galatians 2:14
Definition
But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
Term
Galatians 2:15
Definition
We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;
Term
Galatians 2:16
Definition
yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Term
Galatians 2:17
Definition
But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!
Term
Galatians 2:18
Definition
For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.
Term
Galatians 2:19
Definition
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
Term
Galatians 2:20
Definition
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Term
Galatians 2:21
Definition
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if justification1 were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Term
Galatians 3:1
Definition
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.
Term
Galatians 3:2
Definition
Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?
Term
Galatians 3:3
Definition
Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by* the flesh? * or "ending with"
Term
Galatians 3:4
Definition
Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
Term
Galatians 3:5
Definition
Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith —
Term
Galatians 3:6
Definition
just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?
Term
Galatians 3:7
Definition
Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.
Term
Galatians 3:8
Definition
and the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.”
Term
Galatians 3:10
Definition
For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”
Term
Galatians 3:11
Definition
Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”
Term
Galatians 3:12
Definition
But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”
Term
Galatians 3:13
Definition
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
Term
Galatians 3:14
Definition
so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
Term
Galatians 3:15
Definition
To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified.
Term
Galatians 3:16
Definition
Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.
Term
Galatians 3:17
Definition
This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.
Term
Galatians 3:18
Definition
For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
Term
Galatians 3:19
Definition
Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary.
Term
Galatians 3:20
Definition
Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.
Term
Galatians 3:21
Definition
Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.
Term
Galatians 3:22
Definition
But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Term
Galatians 3:23
Definition
Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.
Term
Galatians 3:24
Definition
So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.
Term
Galatians 3:25
Definition
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,
Term
Galatians 3:26
Definition
for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
Term
Galatians 3:27
Definition
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Term
Galatians 3:28
Definition
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Term
Galatians 3:29
Definition
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
Term
Galatians 4:1
Definition
I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything,
Term
Galatians 4:2
Definition
but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father.
Term
Galatians 4:3
Definition
In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.
Term
Galatians 4:4
Definition
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,
Term
Galatians 4:5
Definition
to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
Term
Galatians 4:6
Definition
And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
Term
Galatians 4:7
Definition
So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Term
Galatians 4:8
Definition
Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods.
Term
Galatians 4:9
Definition
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?
Term
Galatians 4:10
Definition
You observe days and months and seasons and years!
Term
Galatians 4:11
Definition
I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.
Term
Galatians 4:12
Definition
Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong.
Term
Galatians 4:13
Definition
You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first,
Term
Galatians 4:14
Definition
and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
Term
Galatians 4:15
Definition
What then has become of the blessing you felt? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have gouged out your eyes and given them to me.
Term
Galatians 4:16
Definition
Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Term
Galatians 4:17
Definition
They make much of you, but for no good purpose. They want to shut you out, that you may make much of them.
Term
Galatians 4:18
Definition
It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you,
Term
Galatians 4:19
Definition
my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!
Term
Galatians 4:20
Definition
I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Term
Galatians 4:21
Definition
Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law?
Term
Galatians 4:22
Definition
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman.
Term
Galatians 4:23
Definition
But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise.
Term
Galatians 4:24
Definition
Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar.
Term
Galatians 4:25
Definition
Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
Term
Galatians 4:26
Definition
But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
Term
Galatians 4:27
Definition
For it is written, “Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.”
Term
Galatians 4:28
Definition
Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Term
Galatians 4:29
Definition
But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
Term
Galatians 4:30
Definition
But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
Term
Galatians 4:31
Definition
So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.
Term
Galatians 5:1
Definition
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Term
Galatians 5:2
Definition
Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.
Term
Galatians 5:3
Definition
I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law.
Term
Galatians 5:4
Definition
You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.
Term
Galatians 5:5
Definition
For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
Term
Galatians 5:6
Definition
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.
Term
Galatians 5:7
Definition
You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
Term
Galatians 5:8
Definition
This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
Term
Galatians 5:9
Definition
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Term
Galatians 5:10
Definition
I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is.
Term
Galatians 5:11
Definition
But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.
Term
Galatians 5:12
Definition
I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!
Term
Galatians 5:13
Definition
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Term
Galatians 5:14
Definition
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Term
Galatians 5:15
Definition
But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
Term
Galatians 5:16
Definition
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Term
Galatians 5:17
Definition
For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.
Term
Galatians 5:18
Definition
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Term
Galatians 5:19
Definition
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
Term
Galatians 5:20
Definition
idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
Term
Galatians 5:21
Definition
envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Term
Galatians 5:22
Definition
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Term
Galatians 5:23
Definition
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Term
Galatians 5:24
Definition
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Term
Galatians 5:25
Definition
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
Term
Galatians 5:26
Definition
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Term
Galatians 6:1
Definition
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
Term
Galatians 6:2
Definition
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Term
Galatians 6:3
Definition
For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Term
Galatians 6:4
Definition
But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.
Term
Galatians 6:5
Definition
For each will have to bear his own load.
Term
Galatians 6:6
Definition
One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches.
Term
Galatians 6:7
Definition
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
Term
Galatians 6:8
Definition
For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Term
Galatians 6:9
Definition
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Term
Galatians 6:10
Definition
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Term
Galatians 6:11
Definition
See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
Term
Galatians 6:12
Definition
It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
Term
Galatians 6:13
Definition
For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
Term
Galatians 6:14
Definition
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Term
Galatians 6:15
Definition
For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
Term
Galatians 6:16
Definition
And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
Term
Galatians 6:17
Definition
From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
Term
Galatians 6:18
Definition
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
