Galatians 3:1-5

The Voice

3 Galatians, don’t act like fools! Has someone cast a spell over you? Did you miss the crucifixion of Jesus the Anointed that was reenacted right in front of your eyes? ² Tell me this: Did the Holy Spirit come upon you because you lived according to the law? Or was it because you heard His message of grace through faith? ³ Are you so foolish? Do you think you can perfect something God’s Spirit started with any human effort? ⁴ Have you suffered so greatly for nothing—if it was indeed for nothing? ⁵ You have experienced the Spirit He gave you in powerful ways. Miracle after miracle has occurred right before your eyes in this community, so tell me: did all this happen because you have kept certain provisions of God’s law, or was it because you heard the gospel and accepted it by faith?
