Galatians 3:1-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

God Approves of Those Who Believe

3 You stupid people of Galatia! Who put you under an evil spell? Wasn’t Christ Jesus’ crucifixion clearly described to you? ² I want to learn only one thing from you. Did you receive the Spirit by your own efforts to follow the laws in the Scriptures or by believing what you heard? ³ Are you that stupid? Did you begin in a spiritual way only to end up doing things in a human way? ⁴ Did you suffer so much for nothing? ⌞I doubt⌟ that it was for nothing! ⁵ Does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you through your own efforts or through believing what you heard?
