Galatians 3:1-3
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Who Has Bewitched You? Do You Live By The Spirit And Faith, Or The Flesh And Law?
3 O foolish Galatians, who bewitched[a] you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was portrayed[b] as crucified? 2 I want to learn only this from you: did you receive the Spirit by works of the Law or by the hearing[c] of [d] faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun-with[e] the Spirit are you now perfecting-yourselves[f] with the flesh?
