Galatians

  • Galatians 1:1

    Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—

  • Galatians 1:3

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

  • Galatians 1:6

    I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

  • Galatians 1:7

    which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.

  • 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 1:12

    I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

  • Galatians 1:16

    to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,

  • Galatians 1:22

    I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.

  • Galatians 2:4

    This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

  • Galatians 2:16

    know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

  • 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 2:20

    I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

  • Galatians 2:21

    I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.

  • Galatians 3:1

    O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.

  • Galatians 3:13

    Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”

  • Galatians 3:14

    He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

  • Galatians 3:16

    The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.

  • 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.

  • Galatians 3:22

    But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.

  • Galatians 3:24

    So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

  • Galatians 3:26

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

  • Galatians 3:27

    For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

  • Galatians 3:28

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

  • Galatians 4:4

    But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

  • Galatians 4:6

    And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

  • Galatians 4:7

    So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.

  • Galatians 4:14

    And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.

  • Galatians 4:19

    My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,

  • Galatians 5:1

    It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.

  • Galatians 5:2

    Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.

  • Galatians 5:4

    You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

  • Galatians 5:6

    For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.

  • Galatians 5:10

    I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

  • Galatians 6:2

    Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

  • Galatians 6:12

    Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.

  • Galatians 6:14

    But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

  • Galatians 6:15

    For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.

  • Galatians 6:17

    From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

  • Galatians 6:18

    The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

Read as a prophecy of Jesus in Christian tradition

The Theographic dataset makes this link following Christian interpretation. Jewish interpretation reads these verses differently, usually of a figure in the writer's own time or of a messiah still to come, and many Christian scholars also read a meaning for the writer's own day. These 22 verses are not counted above.

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

Anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered “Messiah” (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matt. 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles him “Messiah the Prince.”

The Messiah is the same person as “the seed of the woman” (Gen. 3:15), “the seed of Abraham” (Gen. 22:18), the “Prophet like unto Moses” (Deut. 18:15), “the priest after the order of Melchizedek” (Ps. 110:4), “the rod out of the stem of Jesse” (Isa. 11:1, 10), the “Immanuel,” the virgin’s son (Isa. 7:14), “the branch of Jehovah” (Isa. 4:2), and “the messenger of the covenant” (Mal. 3:1). This is he “of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write.” The Old Testament Scripture is full of prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and accredited as the Saviour of men (Heb. 5:4; Isa. 11:2-4; 49:6; John 5:37; Acts 2:22).

To believe that “Jesus is the Christ” is to believe that he is the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian (1 Cor. 12:3; 1 John 5:1).
