Common English Bible CEB
New International Version NIV
1 You irrational Galatians! Who put a spell on you? Jesus Christ was put on display as crucified before your eyes!
1
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
2 I just want to know this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the Law or by believing what you heard?
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 Are you so irrational? After you started with the Spirit, are you now finishing up with your own human effort?
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 you experience so much for nothing? I wonder if it really was for nothing.
4
Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain?
5 So does the one providing you with the Spirit and working miracles among you do this by you doing the works of the Law or by you believing what you heard?
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?
