1You stupid Galatians! I told you exactly how Jesus Christ was nailed to a cross. Has someone now put an evil spell on you?
2I want to know only one thing. How were you given God's Spirit? Was it by obeying the Law of Moses or by hearing about Christ and having faith in him?
3How can you be so stupid? Do you think that by yourself you can complete what God's Spirit started in you?
4Have you gone through all of this for nothing? Is it all really for nothing?
5God gives you his Spirit and works miracles in you. But does he do this because you obey the Law of Moses or because you have heard about Christ and have faith in him?

16That is how it is with the promises God made to Abraham and his descendant. The promises were not made to many descendants, but only to one, and that one is Christ.
17 who was given the promise. In fact, angels gave the Law to Moses, and he gave it to the people.
20There is only one God, and the Law did not come directly from him.
Slaves and Children21Does the Law disagree with God's promises? No, it doesn't! If any law could give life to us, we could become acceptable to God by obeying that law.
22But the Scriptures say that sin controls everyone, so that God's promises will be for anyone who has faith in Jesus Christ.
23The Law controlled us and kept us under its power until the time came when we would have faith.
24In fact, the Law was to be our teacher until Christ came. Then we could have faith and be acceptable to God.
25But once a person has learned to have faith, there is no more need to have the Law as a teacher.
26All of you are God's children because of your faith in Christ Jesus.
27And when you were baptized, it was as though you had put on Christ in the same way you put on new clothes.
28Faith in Christ Jesus is what makes each of you equal with each other, whether you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a man or a woman.
29 and you will be given what God has promised.
