1O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

6Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

8And 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.
8ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
9So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10For 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.

11But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

12And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
13Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϣⲟⲡⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥ⳿ⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲉ.
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
15ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲙⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲁⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϣⲟϣϥⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲁϣⲥ.
16Now 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.
16ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲉⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲉⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
17And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
17ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏ ⲕⲏ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲩ̅ⲗ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱϣ.
18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
18ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲓⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣ.
19Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
19ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲭⲁϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱϣ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲑⲁϣϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ.
20Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
20ⲡⲓⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲫϯ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ.
21Is 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.
21⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϧⲟ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ.
22But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
22ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲥ⳿ϣⲑⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
23But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
