Galatians 3:2

Justified By The Law, Or Justified By Faith?

¹ O senseless Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose very eyes Jesus Christ was pictured as the crucified One? ² I want to ask you only this one thing: Did you receive the Spirit by doing what the law commands, or by believing the message you heard? ³ Are you so senseless? Did you begin by the Spirit, but are now approaching perfection by fleshly means?
