Galatians 3:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the [a]Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of [b]faith preached?
3 [c]Are ye so foolish, that after ye have begun in the Spirit, ye would now be made perfect by the [d]flesh?
4 [e]Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if so be it be even in vain.
