¹Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

¹O, I uforstandige Galatere! hvem har fortryllet eder, I, hvem Jesus Kristus blev malet for Øje som korsfæstet?

²I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

²Kun dette vil jeg vide af eder: Var det ved Lovens Gerninger, I modtoge Ånden, eller ved i Tro at høre?

³Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

³Ere I så uforstandige? ville I, som begyndte i Ånd, nu ende i Kød?

⁴Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

⁴Have I da prøvet så meget forgæves? hvis det da virkelig er forgæves!

⁵He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

⁵Mon da han, som meddeler eder Ånden og virker kraftige Gerninger iblandt eder, gør dette ved Lovens Gerninger eller ved, at I høre i Tro?

⁶Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”

⁶ligesom jo "Abraham troede Gud, og det blev regnet ham til Retfærdighed".

⁷Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.

⁷Erkender altså, at de, som ere af Tro, disse ere Abrahams Børn.

⁸The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.” Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18

⁸Men da Skriften forudså, at det er af Tro, at Gud retfærdiggør Hedningerne, forkyndte den forud Abraham det Evangelium: "I dig skulle alle Folkeslagene velsignes",

⁹So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

⁹så at de, som ere af Tro, velsignes sammen med den troende Abraham.

¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.” Deuteronomy 27:26

¹⁰Thi så mange, som holde sig til Lovens Gerninger, ere under Forbandelse; thi der er skrevet: "Forbandet hver den, som ikke bliver i alle de Ting, som ere skrevne i Lovens Bog, så han gør dem."

¹¹Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

¹¹Men at ingen bliver retfærdiggjort for Gud ved Lov, er åbenbart, thi "deri retfærdige skal leve af Tro."

¹²The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.” Leviticus 18:5

¹²Men Loven beror ikke på Tro; men: "Den, som gør disse Ting, skal leve ved dem."

¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” Deuteronomy 21:23

¹³Kristus har løskøbt os fra Lovens Forbandelse, idet han blev en Forbandelse for os (thi der er skrevet: "Forbandet er hver den, som hænger på et Træ"),

¹⁴that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁴for at Abrahams Velsignelse måtte komme til Hedningerne i Kristus Jesus, for at vi kunde få Åndens Forjættelse ved Troen.

¹⁵Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

¹⁵Brødre! jeg taler på Menneskevis: Ingen ophæver dog et Menneskes stadfæstede Arvepagt eller føjer noget dertil.

¹⁶Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn’t say, “To seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “To your seed,” Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 24:7 which is Christ.

¹⁶Men Abraham og hans Sæd bleve Forjættelserne tilsagte; der siges ikke: "og Sædene", som om mange, men som om eet: "og din Sæd", hvilken er Kristus.

¹⁷Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

¹⁷Jeg mener dermed dette: En Pagt, som forud er stadfæstet af Gud, kan Loven, som blev til fire Hundrede og tredive År senere, ikke gøre ugyldig, så at den skulde gøre Forjættelsen til intet.

¹⁸For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

¹⁸Thi fås Arven ved Lov, da fås den ikke mere ved Forjættelse; men til Abraham har Gud skænket den ved Forjættelse.

¹⁹What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

¹⁹Hvad skulde da Loven? Den blev føjet til for Overtrædelsernes Skyld (indtil den Sæd kom, hvem Forjættelsen gjaldt), besørget ved Engle, ved en Mellemmands Hånd.

²⁰Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

²⁰Men en Mellemmand er ikke kun for een Part; Gud derimod er een.

²¹Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

²¹Er da Loven imod Guds Forjættelser? Det være langtfra! Ja, hvis der var givet en Lov, som kunde levendegøre, da var Retfærdigheden virkelig af Lov.

²²But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

²²Men Skriften har indesluttet alt under Synd, for at Forjættelsen skulde af Tro på Jesus Kristus gives dem, som tro.

²³But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

²³Men førend Troen kom, holdtes vi indelukkede under Lovens Bevogtning til den Tro, som skulde åbenbares,

²⁴So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

²⁴så at Loven er bleven os en Tugtemester til Kristus, for at vi skulde blive retfærdiggjorte af Tro.

²⁵But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

²⁵Men efter at Troen er kommen, ere vi ikke mere under Tugtemester.

²⁶For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁶Thi alle ere I Guds Børn ved Troen på Kristus Jesus.

²⁷For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

²⁷Thi I, så mange som bleve døbte til Kristus, have iført eder Kristus.

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁸Her er ikke Jøde eller Græker; her er ikke Træl eller fri; her er ikke Mand og Kvinde; thi alle ere I een i Kristus Jesus.

²⁹If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise.

²⁹Men når I høre Kristus til, da ere I jo Abrahams Sæd, Arvinger ifølge Forjættelse.
