3:1 You 1 foolish Galatians! Who has cast a spell 2 on you? Before your eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed 3 as crucified! 3:2 The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law 4 or by believing what you heard? 5 3:3 Are you so foolish?

Their worship consists of
nothing but man-made ritual. 31
2:12 Be amazed at this, O heavens! 32
Be shocked and utterly dumbfounded,”
says the Lord.
2:13 “Do so because my people have committed a double wrong:
they have rejected me,
the fountain of life-giving water, 33
and they have dug cisterns for themselves,
cracked cisterns which cannot even hold water.”
