You foolish Galatians! Who put you under a spell? Was not Jesus the Messiah clearly portrayed before your very eyes as having been crucified?

Certainly all who depend on the actions of the Law are under a curse. For it is written, "A curse on everyone who does not obey everything that is written in the Book of the Law!"

Now before faith came about, we were held in custody and confined under the Law in preparation for the faith that was to be revealed.

But now that faith has come about, we are no longer under a guardian.

Instead, he is placed under the care of guardians and servant managers until the time set by the father.

But when the appropriate time had come, God sent his Son, born by a woman, born under the Law,

in order to redeem those who were under the Law, and thus to adopt them as his children.

Tell me, those of you who want to live under the Law: Are you really listening to what the Law says?

The Messiah has set us free so that we may enjoy the benefits of freedom. So keep on standing firm in it, and stop putting yourselves under the yoke of slavery again.

But if you are being led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
