God in Galatians

The Berean Standard Bible is shown; switch to the King James or American Standard Version.

1. 1:1

   Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—

2. 1:3

   Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

3. 1:4

   who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

4. 1:10

   Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

5. 1:13

   For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.

6. 1:15

   But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased

7. 1:19

   But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.

8. 1:20

   I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.

9. 1:24

   And they glorified God because of me.

10. 2:6

    But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—those leaders added nothing to me.

11. 2:17

    But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!

12. 2:19

    For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.

13. 2:20

    I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

14. 2:21

    I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

15. 3:6

    So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

16. 3:8

    The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”

17. 3:11

    Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”

18. 3:17

    What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.

19. 3:18

    For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.

20. 3:20

    A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.

21. 3:21

    Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.

22. 3:26

    You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

23. 3:29

    And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.

24. 4:4

    But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

25. 4:6

    And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

26. 4:7

    So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.

27. 4:8

    Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.

28. 4:9

    But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?

29. 4:14

    And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.

30. 5:21

    and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

31. 5:24

    Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

32. 6:7

    Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.

33. 6:14

    But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

34. 6:16

    Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
