The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the

Galatians, King James Version,

read by Justin Bible. May God bless you,

with an unquenchable thirst for his holy

word, the Bible.

Galatians 1

Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither

by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the

Father, who raised him from the dead.

and all the brethren which are with me

unto the churches of Galatia. Grace be

to you and peace from God the Father and

from our Lord Jesus Christ who gave

himself for our sins that he might

deliver us from this present evil world

according to the will of God and our

Father to whom be glory forever and

ever. Amen. I marvel that ye are so soon

removed from him that called you into

the grace of Christ unto another gospel

which is not another. But there be some

that trouble you and would pervert the

gospel of Christ. But though we or an

angel from heaven preach any other

gospel unto you than that which we have

preached unto you, let him be accursed.

As we said before, so say I now again,

if any man preach any other gospel unto

you than that which you have received,

let him be accursed.

For do I now persuade men or God? Or do

I seek to please men? For if I yet

pleased men, I should not be the servant

of Christ. But I certify you, brethren,

that the gospel which was preached of me

is not after man. For I neither received

it of man, neither was I taught it, but

by the revelation of Jesus Christ. For

you have heard of my conversation in

time past in the Jews religion, how that

beyond measure I persecuted the church

of God and wasted it, and profited in

the Jews religion above many my equals

in my known nation, being more

exceedingly zealous of the traditions of

my fathers. But when it pleased God, who

separated me from my mother's womb, and

called me by his grace, to reveal his

son in me, that I might preach him among

the heathen, immediately I conferred not

with flesh and blood, neither went I up

to Jerusalem to them which were apostles

before me, but I went into Arabia, and

returned again unto Damascus.

Then after 3 years, I went up to

Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with

him 15 days. But other of the apostles

saw I none, save James, the Lord's

brother. Now the things which I write

unto you, behold, before God I lie not.

Afterwards I came into the regions of

Syria and Salicitia, and was unknown by

face unto the churches of Judea, which

were in Christ. But they had heard only

that he which persecuted us in times

past now preacheth the faith which once

he destroyed and they glorified God in

me.

Galatians chapter 2 then 14 years after

I went up again to Jerusalem with

Barnabas and took Titus with me also.

And I went up by revelation, and

communicated unto them that gospel which

I preached among the Gentiles, but

privately to them which were of

reputation, lest by any means I should

run, or had run in vain. But neither

Titus, who was with me, being a Greek,

was compelled to be circumcised. And

that, because a false brethren unawares,

is brought in, who came in privile to

spy out our liberty, which we have in

Christ Jesus, that they might bring us

into bondage, to whom we gave place by

subjection, no, not for an hour, that

the truth of the gospel might continue

with you. But of these who seemed to be

somewhat, whatsoever they were, it

maketh no matter to me. God acceptth no

man's person. For they who seemed to be

somewhat in conference added nothing to

me. But contrary wise, when they saw

that the gospel of the uncircumcision

was committed unto me, as the gospel of

the circumcision was unto Peter, for he

that wrought effectually in Peter to the

apostilhip of the circumcision, the same

was mighty in me toward the Gentiles.

And when James, Cphus, and John, who

seemed to be pillars, perceived the

grace that was given unto me, they gave

to me and Barnabas the right hands of

fellowship, that we should go into the

heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

Only they would that we should remember

the poor, the same which I also was

forward to do. But when Peter was come

to Antioch, I withtood him to the face,

because he was to be blamed. For before

that certain came from James, he did eat

with the Gentiles. But when they were

come, he withdrew and separated himself,

fearing them which were of the

circumcision. And the other Jews

dissembled likewise with him, in so much

that Barnabas also was carried away with

their dissimulation. But when I saw that

they walked not uprightly according to

the truth of the gospel, I said unto

Peter before them all, If thou being a

Jew, livest after the manner of

Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why

compelst thou the Gentiles to live as do

the Jews? We who are Jews by nature and

not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing

that a man is not justified by the works

of the law, but by the faith of Jesus

Christ. Even we have believed in Jesus

Christ that we might be justified by the

faith of Christ and not by the works of

the law. For by the works of the law

shall no flesh be justified.

But if while we seek to be justified by

Christ, we ourselves also are found

sinners, is therefore Christ the

minister of sin? God forbid. For if I

build again the things which I

destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

For I through the law am dead to the

law,

that I might live

unto God.

I am crucified with Christ.

Nevertheless,

I live,

yet not I,

but Christ liveth in me, and the life

which I now live in the flesh, I live by

the faith of the Son of God, who loved

me and gave himself for me. I do not

frustrate the grace of God. For if

righteousness come by the law, then

Christ is dead in vain.

Galatians chapter 3. Oh foolish

Galatians, who have bewitched you that

you should not obey the truth before

whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been

evidently set forth crucified among you?

This only what I learn of you. Receive

ye the spirit by the works of the law,

or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so

foolish, having begun in the spirit? Are

ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have

you suffered so many things in vain? If

it be yet in vain? He therefore that

ministerth to you the spirit and

workketh miracles among you doeth he it

by the works of the law or by the

hearing of faith. Even as Abraham

believed God and it was accounted to him

for righteousness. Know ye therefore

that they which are of faith the same

are the children of Abraham.

and the scripture. For seeing that God

would justify the heathen through faith,

preached before the gospel unto Abraham,

saying, In thee shall all nations be

blessed. So then they which be of faith

are blessed with faithful Abraham. For

as many as are of the works of the law

are under the curse. For it is written,

cursed is everyone that continutheth

not. In all things which are written in

the book of the law to do them, but that

no man is justified by the law in the

sight of God, it is evident, for the

just shall live by faith,

and the law is not of faith, but the man

that doeth them shall live in them.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse

of the law, being made a curse for us.

For it is written, cursed is everyone

that hangeth on a tree, that the

blessing of Abraham might come on the

Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we

might receive the promise of the Spirit

through faith. Brethren, I speak after

the manner of men, though it be but a

man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed,

no man disolleth, or addeth thereto. Now

to Abraham and his seed were the

promises made. He saith not, and to

seeds as of many, but as of one, and to

thy seed, which is Christ. And this I

say that the covenant that was confirmed

before of God in Christ, the law which

was 430 years after cannot disenol that

it should make the promise of none

effect. For if the inheritance be of the

law, it is no more of promise. But God

gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore

then serveth the law? It was added

because of transgressions till the seed

should come to whom the promise was made

and it was ordained by angels in the

hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is

not a mediator of one. But God is one.

Is the law then against the promises of

God? God forbid. For if there had been a

law given which could have given life,

verily righteousness should have been by

the law. But the scripture have

concluded all under sin, that the

promise by faith of Jesus Christ might

be given to them that believe. But

before faith came, we were kept under

the law, shut up unto the faith which

should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore

the law was our school master to bring

us unto Christ, that we might be

justified by faith. But after that faith

has come, we are no longer under a

school master. For ye are all the

children of God by faith in Christ

Jesus. For as many of you as have been

baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek. There is

neither bond nor free. There is neither

male nor female. For ye are all one in

Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christs, then

are ye Abraham's seed and hes according

to the promise.

Galatians

4. Now I say that the heir, as long as

he is a child, differereth nothing from

a servant, though he be lord of all, but

is under tutors and governors until the

time appointed of the father. Even so we

when we were children were in bondage

under the elements of the world. But

when the fullness of the time was come,

God sent forth his son made of a woman

made under the law to redeem them that

were under the law that we might receive

the adoption of sons. And because ye are

sons, God hath sent forth the spirit of

his son into your hearts, crying, Aba,

Father. Wherefore thou art no more a

servant, but a son? And if a son than an

heir of God through Christ, how be it

then, when ye knew not God, ye did

service unto them which by nature are no

gods. But now, after that ye have known

God, or rather are known of God, how

turn ye again to the weak and beggarly

elements, where unto ye desire again to

be in bondage. Ye observe days and

months and times and years. I am afraid

of you, lest I have bestowed upon you

labor in vain. Brethren, I beseech you,

be as I am, for I am as ye are. Ye have

not injured me at all. Ye know how

through infirmity of the flesh, I

preached the gospel unto you at the

first. And my temptation, which was in

my flesh, ye despised not, nor rejected,

but received me as an angel of God, even

as Christ Jesus. Where is then the

blessedness ye spake of? For I bear you

record that if it had been possible, you

would have plucked out your own eyes and

have given them to me. Am I therefore

become your enemy? Because I tell you

the truth, they zealously affect you,

but not well. Yay, they would exclude

you that you might affect them, but it

is good to be zealously affected always

in a good thing, and not only when I am

present with you, my little children of

whom I travail in birth again until

Christ be formed in you. I desire to be

present with you now and to change my

voice, for I stand in doubt of you. Tell

me, ye that desire to be under the law,

do ye not hear the law? For it is

written that Abraham had two sons, the

one by a bondmaid, the other by a free

woman. But he who was of the bond woman

was born after the flesh. But he of the

free woman was by promise, which things

are an allegory. For these are the two

covenants, the one from the Mount Si,

which genderth bondage, which is Aar.

For this Aar is Mount Si in Arabia, and

answerth to Jerusalem, which now is, and

is in bondage with her children. But

Jerusalem, which is above, is free,

which is the mother of us all. For it is

written, "Rejoice thou barren that

beareest not. break forth and cry, thou

that travalest not, for the desolate

hath many more children than she which

hath an husband. Now we, brethren, as

Isaac was, are the children of promise.

But as then, he that was born after the

flesh persecuted him that was born after

the spirit, even so it is now.

Nevertheless, what saith the scripture,

cast out the bond woman and her son? For

the son of the bond woman shall not be

heir with the son of the free woman. So

then brethren, we are not children of

the bond woman, but of the free.

Galatians

chapter 5. Stand fast therefore in the

liberty wherewith Christ hath made us

free, and be not entangled again with

the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say

unto you that if ye be circumcised,

Christ shall profit you nothing. For I

testify again to every man that is

circumcised, that he is a debtor to do

the whole law. Christ is become of no

effect unto you. Whosoever of you are

justified by the law, ye are fallen from

grace. For we through the spirit wait

for the hope of righteousness by faith.

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision

avaleth anything, nor uncircumcision,

but faith which workketh by love.

Ye did run well. Who did hinder you that

you should not obey the truth? This

persuasion cometh not of him that

calleth you? A little levan leavenventh

the whole lump. I have confidence in you

through the Lord, that ye will be none

otherwise minded. But he that troubleth

you shall bear his judgment whosoever he

be. And I, brethren, if I yet preach

circumcision, why do I yet suffer

persecution? Then as the offense of the

cross ceased, I would they were even cut

off, which trouble you. For, brethren,

ye have been called unto liberty. only

use not liberty for an occasion to the

flesh, but by love serve one another.

For all the law is fulfilled in one

word, even in this, thou shalt love thy

neighbor as thyself.

But if ye bite and devour one another,

take heed that ye be not consumed one of

another. This I say then, walk in the

spirit, and you shall not fulfill the

lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth

against the spirit, and the spirit

against the flesh, and these are

contrary the one to the other, so that

you cannot do the things that you would.

But if you be led of the spirit, you are

not under the law. Now the works of the

flesh are manifest, which are these:

adultery, fornication, uncleanness,

lasciviousness,

idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,

emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,

heresies, envyings, murders,

drunkenness, rellings, and such like of

the which I tell you before, as I have

also told you in time past, that they

which do such things shall not inherit

the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the

spirit is love, joy, peace,

longsuffering, gentleness,

goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.

Against such there is no law. And they

that are Christs have crucified the

flesh with the affections and lusts. If

we live in the spirit, let us also walk

in the spirit. Let us not be desirous of

vain glory, provoking one another,

envying one another.

Galatians chapter 6, brethren, if a man

be overtaken in a fault, ye which are

spiritual, restore such in one in the

spirit of meekness. considering thyself,

lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one

another's burdens, and so fulfill the

law of Christ. For if a man think

himself to be something, when he is

nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let

every man prove his own work, and then

shall he have rejoicing in himself

alone, and not in another. For every man

shall bear his own burden. Let him that

is taught in the word communicate unto

him that teacheth in all good things. Be

not deceived. God is not mocked. For

whatsoever a man seth, that shall he

also reap.

For he that sweth to his flesh shall of

the flesh reap corruption, but he that

sweth to the spirit show of the spirit

reap life everlasting.

And let us not be weary in welloing, for

in due season we shall reap if we faint

not. As we have therefore opportunity,

let us do good unto all men, especially

unto them who are of the household of

faith. You see how large a letter I have

written unto you with mine own hand. As

many as desired to make a fair show in

the flesh, they constrain you to be

circumcised, only lest they should

suffer persecution for the cross of

Christ. For neither they themselves who

are circumcised keep the law, but desire

to have you circumcised, that they may

glory in your flesh. But God forbid that

I should glory, save in the cross of our

Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is

crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

For in Christ Jesus, neither

circumcision avaleth anything, nor

uncircumcision,

but a new creature. And as many as walk

according to this rule, peace be on them

and mercy and upon the Israel of God.

From henceforth let no man trouble me.

For I bear in my body the marks of the

Lord Jesus.

Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus

Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
