Faith Brings Righteousness

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:1 - O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:2 - This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:11 - But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Intent of the Law

(cf. Gen 12:1–3 )
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:15 - Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:16 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:17 - And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:18 - For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:19 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:20 - Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:21 - 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.

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:23 - But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:24 - Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
