1 You people in Galatia were told very clearly about the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. But you were very foolish. You let someone trick you.
2 Tell me this one thing: How did you receive the Holy Spirit? Did you receive the Spirit by following the law? No! You received the Spirit because you heard the Good News and believed it.
3 You began your life in Christ by the Spirit. Now do you try to continue it by your own power? That is foolish.
4 You have experienced many things. Were all those experiences wasted? I hope not!
