Galatians

  • Galatians 1:4

    who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

  • Galatians 1:10

    Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

  • Galatians 1:13

    For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.

  • Galatians 2:17

    But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!

  • Galatians 2:19

    For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.

  • Galatians 2:20

  • Galatians 3:8

    The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”

  • Galatians 3:11

    Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”

  • Galatians 3:17

    What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.

    For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.

  • Galatians 3:20

    A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.

  • Galatians 3:21

    You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

  • Galatians 4:6

  • Galatians 4:8

    Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.

Dictionary

From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), as attached to this record by Theographic. The entry is for the name and can describe more than one person who bore it. Easton wrote in 1897, and some of his views are now debated.

Read Easton’s entry

(A.S. and Dutch God; Dan. Gud; Ger. Gott), the name of the Divine Being. It is the rendering (1) of the Hebrew ’El, from a word meaning to be strong; (2) of ’Eloah_, plural _’Elohim. The singular form, Eloah, is used only in poetry. The plural form is more commonly used in all parts of the Bible, The Hebrew word Jehovah (q.v.), the only other word generally employed to denote the Supreme Being, is uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by “LORD,” printed in small capitals. The existence of God is taken for granted in the Bible. There is nowhere any argument to prove it. He who disbelieves this truth is spoken of as one devoid of understanding (Ps. 14:1).
