Galatians 3
3
1O senseless Galatians, who bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua was publicly shown forth as having been TALUI AL HAETZ#3:1 Dt 21:23 (hanging on the tree).
2This one thing only I want to learn from you: did you receive the Ruach HaKodesh by means of ma'asim of Gezetz (works of Law) or by means of the hearing of emunah?
3You lack seichel; having begun in the Ruach HaKodesh, will you now be perfected in the basar?
4Did you suffer so many things lashav (in vain)? — if it really was lashav.
5So then, Hashem who is supplying to you the Ruach HaKodesh and producing nifla'ot (miracles) among you, by what means does He do it, by ma'asim of Gezetz or by the hearing of emunah?
6Just as Avraham Avinu HE'EMIN BA'HASHEM VAYACHSHEVEHA LO TZEDAKAH#3:6 Gn 15:6 (believed Hashem and it [his faith] was accounted to him for righteousness ),
7Know then, that the Bnei HaEmunah, these ones are the Bnei Avraham Avinu!
8And the Kitvei HaKodesh, having foreseen that Hashem would yatzdik (justify) the Goyim by emunah, preached the Besuras HaGeulah beforehand to Avraham Avinu, saying, VENIVRECHU VO KOL GOYEI HA'ARETZ#3:8 Gn 18:18; 12:3 (All the peoples of the earth will be blessed in you).
9For this reason, the ones of emunah receive the bracha (blessing) with Avraham Avinu hama'amin (the believer).
10For as many as are seeking “YITZDAK IM HASHEM” by ma'asim of Gezetz are under a kelalah (curse); for it has been written, ARUR ASHER LO YAKIM ES DIVREI HATORAH HAZOT LA'ASOT OTAM#3:10 Dt 27:26; cf Ro 2:10 (Cursed is everyone who does not uphold, abide by all the words of this Torah to do them).
11Now it is clear that not one person is YITZDAK IM HASHEM (justified with G-d) by Gezetz, because V'TZADDIK BE'EMUNATO YICHEYEH#3:11 Hab 2:4 (the righteous by his faith will live).
12But the Gezetz is not of emunah, but the man YA'ASEH OTAM VACHAI#3:12 Lv 18:5 (who does these things will live [by them]).
13Moshiach redeemed us from the kelalah (curse) of the Torah, having become a kelalah (curse) on behalf of us, because it has been written, KILELAT HASHEM is on NIVLATO TALUI AL HAETZ#3:13 Dt 21:23 (Curse of G-d is on the NEVELAH (body, corpse) being hanged on the tree),
14In order that to the Goyim the Bracha of Avraham Avinu might come by Moshiach Yehoshua, that the havtachah (promise) of the Ruach haKodesh we might receive through emunah.
15Achim B'Moshiach, I speak according to human dimyon (analogy). Even a brit (covenant) having been confirmed by Bnei Adam no one sets aside or adds to it.
16Now to Avraham Avinu were spoken the havtachot (promises) and to his ZERA#3:16 Gn 22:18 (seed). He does not say V'LIZERAECHAH (and to your seeds), as concerning many, but as concerning one, “and to the ZERA of you,” and that ZERA is Moshiach.
17And this I say: a brit (covenant), which was previously confirmed by Hashem, cannot be annulled so as to abolish the havtachah (promise) by the Mattan Torah — which was given arba me'ot usheloshim shanah (four hundred and thirty years) later.#3:17 Ex 12:40
18For if the nachalah (inheritance) is based on Gezetz, it is no longer based on havtachah (promise); but Hashem has given the nachalah to Avraham Avinu by havtachah (promise).
19Why then the Mattan Torah (Giving of the Torah)? The Torah was added because of peysha'im, until the ZERA (Moshiach) should come to whom the havtachah had been made.#3:19 Gn 22:18 Now the Torah was administered through malachim#3:19 Dt 33:2; Ps 68:18 by the hand of a metavech.#3:19 Lv 26:46; Num 36:13
20Now the metavech is not for only one, but Elohim hu echad.#3:20 Dt 6:4
21Is the Torah, mimeila (consequently, as a result), against the havtachot (promises) of Hashem? Chas v'Shalom (G-d forbid)! For if Gezetz had been given that had the ko'ach (power) to affect hitkhadshut (regeneration), then to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM (justified with G-d) would indeed have been based on ma'asim of Gezetz.
22But the Kitvei HaKodesh consigned all things under HaChet (Sin),#3:22 Dt 27:26 that the havtachah (promise) might be given by emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua to the ma'aminim.
23But before Emunah came, we were being held in custody, being confined and guarded for the about-to-be-revealed Emunah.
24This is the result: the Gezetz functioned as our omenet (governess) unto Moshiach, that by emunah we might be YITZDAK IM HASHEM.
25But Emunah having come, we are no longer under an omenet (governess).
26For through emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, you are all yeladim of Elohim.
27For as many as have had a tevilah into Moshiach have clothed yourselves with Moshiach.
28There is not Yehudi nor Yevani (Greek), there is not eved (servant) nor Ben Chorin (freedman), there is not zachar (male) nor nekevah (female), for you are all echad in Moshiach Yehoshua.
29And, if you belong to Moshiach,#3:29 Isa 53:10 then you are of the ZERA of Avraham Avinu, you are yoreshim (heirs) according to the havtachah (promise).

Galatians 3
3
1Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Yeshua the Messiah was openly portrayed among you as crucified? 2I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith? 3Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh? 4Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain? 5He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith? 6Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”#Genesis 15:6 7Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham. 8The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”#Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18 9So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the scroll of the Torah, to do them.”#Deuteronomy 27:26 11Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”#Habakkuk 2:4 12The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”#Leviticus 18:5
13 Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”#Deuteronomy 21:23 14that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Messiah Yeshua, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds to it. 16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring.#3:16 or, seed He doesn’t say, “To descendants#3:16 or, seeds”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”,#Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 24:7 which is Messiah. 17Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Messiah, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect. 18For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
19 Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law. 22But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Yeshua the Messiah might be given to those who believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Messiah, that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 26For you are all children of God, through faith in Messiah Yeshua. 27For as many of you as were immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua. 29If you are Messiah’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.
