Justification by Faith

1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you1 that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed2 among you as crucified?  
2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, aor by the hearing of faith?  
3 Are you so foolish? aHaving begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by bthe flesh?  
4 aHave you suffered so1 many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?  
5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—

Galatians 3:3

Are ye so thoughtless - As not to consider what you have yourselves experienced? Having begun in the Spirit - Having set out under the light and power of the Spirit by faith, do ye now, when ye ought to be more spiritual, and more acquainted with the power of faith, expect to be made perfect by the flesh? Do you think to complete either your justification or sanctification, by giving up that faith, and depending on the law, which is a gross and carnal thing when opposed to the gospel?
