Galatians 3

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 O stupid Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?	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;
2 I want to learn only this from you: did you receive the Spirit from works of the law, or from faith in what you heard?	2 Τουτο μονον θελω να μαθω απο σας? Εξ εργων νομου ελαβετε το Πνευμα, η εξ ακοης της πιστεως;
3 Are you so stupid? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh?	3 τοσον ανοητοι εισθε; αφου ηρχισατε με το Πνευμα, τωρα τελειονετε με την σαρκα;
4 Did you experience so many things in vain?--if indeed it was in vain.	4 εις ματην επαθετε τοσα; αν μονον εις ματην.
5 Does, then, the one who supplies the Spirit to you and works mighty deeds among you do so from works of the law or from faith in what you heard?	5 Εκεινος λοιπον οστις χορηγει εις εσας το Πνευμα και ενεργει θαυματα μεταξυ σας, εξ εργων νομου καμνει ταυτα η εξ ακοης πιστεως;
6 Thus Abraham "believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."	6 καθως ο Αβρααμ επιστευσεν εις τον Θεον, και ελογισθη εις αυτον εις δικαιοσυνην.
7 Realize then that it is those who have faith who are children of Abraham.	7 Εξευρετε λοιπον οτι οι οντες εκ πιστεως, ουτοι ειναι υιοι του Αβρααμ.
8 Scripture, which saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold the good news to Abraham, saying, "Through you shall all the nations be blessed."	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.
9 Consequently, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham who had faith.	9 Ωστε οι οντες εκ πιστεως ευλογουνται μετα του πιστου Αβρααμ.
10 For all who depend on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not persevere in doing all the things written in the book of the law."	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.
11 And that no one is justified before God by the law is clear, for "the one who is righteous by faith will live."	11 Οτι δε ουδεις δικαιουται δια του νομου ενωπιον του Θεου, ειναι φανερον, διοτι ο δικαιος θελει ζησει εκ πιστεως,
12 But the law does not depend on faith; rather, "the one who does these things will live by them."	12 ο δε νομος δεν ειναι εκ πιστεως? αλλ' ο ανθρωπος ο πραττων αυτα θελει ζησει δι' αυτων.
13 Christ ransomed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree,"	13 Ο Χριστος εξηγορασεν ημας εκ της καταρας του νομου, γενομενος καταρα υπερ ημων? διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον? Επικαταρατος πας ο κρεμαμενος επι ξυλου.
14 that the blessing of Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.	14 Δια να ελθη εις τα εθνη η ευλογια του Αβρααμ δια Ιησου Χριστου, ωστε να λαβωμεν την επαγγελιαν του Πνευματος δια της πιστεως.
15 Brothers, in human terms I say that no one can annul or amend even a human will once ratified.	15 Αδελφοι, κατα ανθρωπον ομιλω? ομως και ανθρωπου διαθηκην κεκυρωμενην ουδεις αθετει η προσθετει εις αυτην.
16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his descendant. It does not say, "And to descendants," as referring to many, but as referring to one, "And to your descendant," who is Christ.	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.
17 This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to cancel the promise.	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.
18 For if the inheritance comes from the law, it is no longer from a promise; but God bestowed it on Abraham through a promise.	18 Διοτι εαν η κληρονομια ηναι εκ νομου, δεν ειναι πλεον εξ επαγγελιας? αλλ' εις τον Αβρααμ δι' επαγγελιας εχαρισε ταυτην ο Θεος.
19 Why, then, the law? It was added for transgressions, until the descendant came to whom the promise had been made; it was promulgated by angels at the hand of a mediator.	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?
20 Now there is no mediator when only one party is involved, and God is one.	20 ο δε μεσιτης δεν ειναι ενος, ο Θεος ομως ειναι εις.
21 Is the law then opposed to the promises (of God)? Of course not! For if a law had been given that could bring life, then righteousness would in reality come from the law.	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?
22 But scripture confined all things under the power of sin, that through faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.	22 η γραφη ομως συνεκλεισε τα παντα υπο την αμαρτιαν, δια να δοθη η επαγγελια εκ πιστεως Ιησου Χριστου εις τους πιστευοντας.
23 Before faith came, we were held in custody under law, confined for the faith that was to be revealed.	23 Πριν δε ελθη η πιστις, εφρουρουμεθα υπο τον νομον συγκεκλεισμενοι εις την πιστιν, ητις εμελλε να αποκαλυφθη.
24 Consequently, the law was our disciplinarian for Christ, that we might be justified by faith.	24 Ωστε ο νομος εγεινε παιδαγωγος ημων εις τον Χριστον, δια να δικαιωθωμεν εκ πιστεως.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a disciplinarian.	25 αφου ομως ηλθεν η πιστις, δεν ειμεθα πλεον υπο παιδαγωγον.
26 For through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus.	26 Διοτι παντες εισθε υιοι Θεου δια της πιστεως της εν Χριστω Ιησου?
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.	27 επειδη οσοι εβαπτισθητε εις Χριστον, Χριστον ενεδυθητε.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.	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?
29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendant, heirs according to the promise.	29 εαν δε ησθε του Χριστου, αρα εισθε σπερμα του Αβρααμ και κατα την επαγγελιαν κληρονομοι.
