Galatians 3:20

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology

CHAPTER 3.

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
