Galatians 3:1-6

Christian Standard Bible

Justification through Faith

3 You foolish^(A) Galatians! Who has cast a spell on you,^[a] before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed^[b] as crucified?^{(B) 2} I only want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by believing what you heard?^{[c] 3} Are you so foolish?
