Galatians 3:1-4
You foolish people of Galatia! Who has put you under an evil spell? When I preached, I clearly showed you that Jesus Christ had been nailed to the cross.I would like to learn just one thing from you. Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law? Or did you receive the Spirit by believing what you heard?Are you so foolish? You began by the Holy Spirit. Are you now trying to finish God’s work in you by your own strength?Have you experienced so much for nothing? And was it really for nothing?
