Galatians 3:1-5

GNT

NIV

1 You foolish Galatians! Who put a spell on you? Before your very eyes you had a clear description of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross!
1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
2 Tell me this one thing: did you receive God's Spirit by doing what the Law requires or by hearing the gospel and believing it?
2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?
3 How can you be so foolish! You began by God's Spirit; do you now want to finish by your own power?
3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?
4 Did all your experience mean nothing at all? Surely it meant something!
4 Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain?
5 Does God give you the Spirit and work miracles among you because you do what the Law requires or because you hear the gospel and believe it?
5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?
