The Epistle to the Galatians presents one of the most direct and theologically consequential letters of the New Testament in the enduring language of the King James Version.
Traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul, this epistle addresses a controversy within the early Christian movement concerning the relation of Gentile believers to the Mosaic Law. Written with urgency and rhetorical force, the letter defends the sufficiency of faith in Christ and argues that justification is not secured through observance of the law but through divine grace.
Paul situates the law within a broader redemptive history, describing it as preparatory rather than ultimate. With disciplined argument and personal testimony, he affirms the liberty of believers while cautioning that freedom must not devolve into licence. The epistle culminates in the contrast between works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, binding theological clarity to ethical transformation.
Presented here as a standalone volume in the measured and resonant prose of the 1611 King James translation, this edition preserves a text that has profoundly shaped Christian theology, particularly in matters of grace, law, and spiritual freedom.
