Galatians

Foolish people of Galatia, who has stricken you with the eye? Isa Al-Masih was shown as crucified before your very eyes.

Tell me just one thing: Did you receive the gift of Ruh Allah through implementing the regulations of the sharia or by trusting in what you heard?

Has foolishness gotten that far in you? You began by Al-Ruh. Are you completing now by the body?

Did you undergo all this suffering for nothing? Is it thinkable that it was really for nothing?

Does Allah give you Al-Ruh and do ayat among you because you implement the regulations of the sharia or because you trust in what you heard?

As "Ibrahim trusted in Allah, and he accounted righteousness to him,"

be sure that those who trust are sons of Ibrahim.

Allah revealed in his kitab beforehand that he would give righteousness to the non-Yahudi nations by trust. He announced that good news to Ibrahim beforehand when he said, "I will bless all the nations though you."

So Allah blessed those who trust along with Ibrahim who trusted.

Allah also cursed all those who depend on implementing the regulations of the sharia, confirming what was written in the kitab: "Allah has cursed all those who do not continue to fulfill everything that is written in the sharia of the Tawrat."

Thus it is clear that Allah does not account anyone righteous because of the sharia, since it is written that the righteous lives by trust.

The sharia does not depend on trust. Rather, it is written that the one who obeys the sharia will live by its regulations.

Al-Masih ransomed us from the curse of the sharia since he became a curse to ransom us. It is written in the kitab of Allah: "Allah cursed everyone who is attached to a tree."

That is so that the barakat of Ibrahim would reach the non-Yahudi nations through Isa Al-Masih, and so that we would be given the promised Al-Ruh through trust.

Brothers, I give you a human example: If a person writes a will and it is certified, no one can annul it or add anything to it.

Allah spoke promises to Ibrahim to him and to his seed. He did not say "to your seeds," which would have meant many. Rather, he said "to your seed", which means one, who is Al-Masih.

This is what I am saying to you: Allah certified this covenant. So the sharia, which he revealed four hundred thirty years later, does not annul the promise of this certified covenant.

If the inheritance rests of the sharia, it no longer rests on the promise. But Allah blessed Ibrahim with the inheritance by a promise.

So why does the sharia exist? It was added because of acts of disobedience, while waiting for the seed to whom Allah had committed himself by the promise. He arranged that matter through angels by the hand of a mediator.

A mediator necessitates the presence of more than one side, but Allah is Wahid.

So is the sharia against the promises of Allah? May Allah forbid! If Allah had given a sharia that was able to give life, then righteousness would have truly been by the sharia.

But in his kitab, Allah has condemned all people as prisoners to sin, so that he could give the promise because of the faithfulness of Isa Al-Masih to everyone who trusts him.

Before the time of this trust, we were guarded by the sharia, and were prisoners to it, until this trust appeared.

So the sharia was an educator until Al-Masih would come, so that we would be accounted righteous by trust in him.

But now, trust has come, and we are no longer under the supervision of an educator.

You are all amirs of Allah by trust in Al-Masih Isa.

All of you who did ghusl as belonging to Al-Masih have been dressed in Al-Masih.

Among you there is no Yahudi or Greek, no slave or free, no man and no woman. You are all one in Al-Masih Isa.

If you belong to Al-Masih, you are the seed of Ibrahim and his heirs according to the promise.
