Lettera ai Galati - Galatians 3

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ω ανοητοι Γαλαται, τις σας εβασκανεν, ωστε να μη πειθησθε εις την αληθειαν σεις, εμπροσθεν εις τους οφθαλμους των οποιων ο Ιησους Χριστος, διεγραφη εσταυρωμενος μεταξυ σας;	1 O senseless Galatians, who has so fascinated you that you would not obey the truth, even though Jesus Christ has been presented before your eyes, crucified among you?
2 Τουτο μονον θελω να μαθω απο σας? Εξ εργων νομου ελαβετε το Πνευμα, η εξ ακοης της πιστεως;	2 I wish to know only this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 τοσον ανοητοι εισθε; αφου ηρχισατε με το Πνευμα, τωρα τελειονετε με την σαρκα;	3 Are you so foolish that, though you began with the Spirit, you would now end with the flesh?
4 εις ματην επαθετε τοσα; αν μονον εις ματην.	4 Have you been suffering so much without a reason? If so, then it is in vain.
5 Εκεινος λοιπον οστις χορηγει εις εσας το Πνευμα και ενεργει θαυματα μεταξυ σας, εξ εργων νομου καμνει ταυτα η εξ ακοης πιστεως;	5 Therefore, does he who distributes the Spirit to you, and who works miracles among you, act by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?
6 καθως ο Αβρααμ επιστευσεν εις τον Θεον, και ελογισθη εις αυτον εις δικαιοσυνην.	6 It is just as it was written: “Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.”
7 Εξευρετε λοιπον οτι οι οντες εκ πιστεως, ουτοι ειναι υιοι του Αβρααμ.	7 Therefore, know that those who are of faith, these are the sons of Abraham.
8 Προιδουσα δε η γραφη οτι εκ πιστεως δικαιονει τα εθνη ο Θεος, προηγγειλεν εις τον Αβρααμ οτι θελουσιν ευλογηθη εν σοι παντα τα εθνη.	8 Thus Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold to Abraham: “All nations shall be blessed in you.”
9 Ωστε οι οντες εκ πιστεως ευλογουνται μετα του πιστου Αβρααμ.	9 And so, those who are of faith shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 Διοτι οσοι ειναι εξ εργων νομου, υπο καταραν ειναι? επειδη ειναι γεγραμμενον? Επικαταρατος πας οστις δεν εμμενει εν πασι τοις γεγραμμενοις εν τω βιβλιω του νομου, ωστε να πραξη αυτα.	10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it has been written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things that have been written in the book of the Law, so as to do them.”
11 Οτι δε ουδεις δικαιουται δια του νομου ενωπιον του Θεου, ειναι φανερον, διοτι ο δικαιος θελει ζησει εκ πιστεως,	11 And, since in the law no one is justified with God, this is manifest: “For the just man lives by faith.”
12 ο δε νομος δεν ειναι εκ πιστεως? αλλ' ο ανθρωπος ο πραττων αυτα θελει ζησει δι' αυτων.	12 But the law is not of faith; instead, “he who does these things shall live by them.”
13 Ο Χριστος εξηγορασεν ημας εκ της καταρας του νομου, γενομενος καταρα υπερ ημων? διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον? Επικαταρατος πας ο κρεμαμενος επι ξυλου.	13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, since he became a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is anyone who hangs from a tree.”
14 Δια να ελθη εις τα εθνη η ευλογια του Αβρααμ δια Ιησου Χριστου, ωστε να λαβωμεν την επαγγελιαν του Πνευματος δια της πιστεως.	14 This was so that the blessing of Abraham might reach the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, in order that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 Αδελφοι, κατα ανθρωπον ομιλω? ομως και ανθρωπου διαθηκην κεκυρωμενην ουδεις αθετει η προσθετει εις αυτην.	15 Brothers (I speak according to man), if a man’s testament has been confirmed, no one would reject it or add to it.
16 Προς δε τον Αβρααμ ελαληθησαν αι επαγγελιαι και προς το σπερμα αυτου? δεν λεγει, Και προς τα σπερματα, ως περι πολλων, αλλ' ως περι ενος, Και προς το σπερμα σου, οστις ειναι ο Χριστος.	16 The promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. He did not say, “and to descendents,” as if to many, but instead, as if to one, he said, “and to your offspring,” who is Christ.
17 Τουτο δε λεγω? οτι διαθηκην προκεκυρωμενην εις τον Χριστον υπο του Θεου ο μετα ετη τετρακοσια τριακοντα γενομενος νομος δεν ακυρονει, ωστε να καταργηση την επαγγελιαν.	17 But I say this: the testament confirmed by God, which, after four hundred and thirty years became the Law, does not nullify, so as to make the promise empty.
18 Διοτι εαν η κληρονομια ηναι εκ νομου, δεν ειναι πλεον εξ επαγγελιας? αλλ' εις τον Αβρααμ δι' επαγγελιας εχαρισε ταυτην ο Θεος.	18 For if the inheritance is of the law, then it is no longer of the promise. But God bestowed it to Abraham through the promise.
19 Δια τι λοιπον εδοθη ο νομος; Εξ αιτιας των παραβασεων προσετεθη, εωσου ελθη το σπερμα, προς το οποιον εγεινεν η επαγγελια, διαταχθεις δι' αγγελων δια χειρος μεσιτου?	19 Why, then, was there a law? It was established because of transgressions, until the offspring would arrive, to whom he made the promise, ordained by Angels through the hand of a mediator.
20 ο δε μεσιτης δεν ειναι ενος, ο Θεος ομως ειναι εις.	20 Now a mediator is not of one, yet God is one.
21 Ο νομος λοιπον εναντιος των επαγγελιων του Θεου ειναι; Μη γενοιτο. Διοτι εαν ηθελε δοθη νομος δυναμενος να ζωοποιηση, η δικαιοσυνη ηθελεν εισθαι τωοντι εκ του νομου?	21 So then, was the law contrary to the promises of God? Let it not be so! For if a law had been given, which was able to give life, truly justice would be of the law.
22 η γραφη ομως συνεκλεισε τα παντα υπο την αμαρτιαν, δια να δοθη η επαγγελια εκ πιστεως Ιησου Χριστου εις τους πιστευοντας.	22 But Scripture has enclosed everything under sin, so that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
23 Πριν δε ελθη η πιστις, εφρουρουμεθα υπο τον νομον συγκεκλεισμενοι εις την πιστιν, ητις εμελλε να αποκαλυφθη.	23 But before the faith arrived, we were preserved by being enclosed under the law, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
24 Ωστε ο νομος εγεινε παιδαγωγος ημων εις τον Χριστον, δια να δικαιωθωμεν εκ πιστεως.	24 And so the law was our guardian in Christ, in order that we might be justified by faith.
25 αφου ομως ηλθεν η πιστις, δεν ειμεθα πλεον υπο παιδαγωγον.	25 But now that faith has arrived, we are no longer under a guardian.
26 Διοτι παντες εισθε υιοι Θεου δια της πιστεως της εν Χριστω Ιησου?	26 For you are all sons of God, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
27 επειδη οσοι εβαπτισθητε εις Χριστον, Χριστον ενεδυθητε.	27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have become clothed with Christ.
28 Δεν ειναι πλεον Ιουδαιος ουδε Ελλην, δεν ειναι δουλος ουδε ελευθερος, δεν ειναι αρσεν και θηλυ? διοτι παντες σεις εισθε εις εν Χριστω Ιησου?	28 There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither servant nor free; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 εαν δε ησθε του Χριστου, αρα εισθε σπερμα του Αβρααμ και κατα την επαγγελιαν κληρονομοι.	29 And if you are Christ’s, then are you the offspring of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
