Almost Greek [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

Galatians 3.6: Just as Abraham had pistis [reliance, faith] in Theos and it was credited to him so much as dikaiosunen [equity, justification, rightness]:

 

GENESIS 15.6: …and he, Abraham, trusted in YHWH and He credited it to him for tasadaqua [dikaiosune].

 

Galatians continues: Know then that those emergent from pistis, these are the sons of Abraham. Now, foreseeing the Graphe that Theos dikaioi [would render just] the ethne [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles] emergent from pistis, He announced the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] in advance, to Abraham, “...that all ethne will be blest in you.”

 

GENESIS 12.3: [Adonay {Kurios} speaking],

“... and in you shall all the families [tribes] of the earth be blest.” 

Galatians 3.22: Conversely, now the Graphe has subjected everyone under hamartian [missing the mark or goal, erring, offending, sinning] in order that the epagglia [announcement, proclamation, promise] emergent from pistis might be given to those having pistis in Jesus, the Christou [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ]. 

1^st Corinthians 15.3: For I transmitted to you (in the first place) what I also received: that the Christos died over our hamartion down to the Graphas:

 

ISAIAH 53.5: But He [Jesus] was pierced for our pesha [rebellion], crumbled [crushed] for our avown [perversity]. The muwcar [chastisement] of our shalom [safety, peace, health, happiness, prosperity, friendship] was upon Him and with His chaburah [weals, welts, as from whiplash], we are raphah [mended, cured, healed]. We all ourselves, like migratory herds taah [have vacillated, reeled, gone astray]. Each man has turned to his derek [way, road trodden] and YHWH has made paga [to impinge] upon Him [Jesus] the pesha of us all. He was nagas [driven as an animal, harassed] and He was browbeaten but He not opened His mouth. As a rachel [ewe] to slaughter, He yabal [was flowed, carried, brought, led forth] and as a rachel face-to-face with her shearers is alam [tongue-tied, dumb, silenced], He not opened His mouth. From otser [constraint, confinement] and from mishpat [the verdict, sentence] He was taken and who shall siyach [ponder, consider] His dor [era, generation]? For He was cut off from the land of the alive [living] from [because of] the pesha of my [Isaiah’s] people; the blow struck Him. And He was given [put] with the morally wrong and His sepulcher with a rich man in His death, although He hadn’t done violence nor was deceit found in His mouth. But YHWH was pleased to crumble [crush] Him; to rub [wear out, sicken] Him. When You [YHWH] and He [Jesus] shall put [make] a guilt offering of His nephesh [psuche: soul, life, psyche, ego], He shall see His spiritual zera [sperma: descendants]. He shall prolong His days and the pleasure of YHWH in His hand [power, means] shall push forth [prosper]. He shall see the fruit of the amal [wearing effort, stress] of His nephesh and be satisfied. Through knowledge of Himself, My [YHWH’s] tsaddiyq [just, righteous] Servant shall make tsadaq [to be just, to be righteous] abundant [very, very many] and their avown He shall cabal [carry, bear]. Therefore, I [YHWH] will apportion to Him [Jesus] with the abundantly wealthy and with the powerful. He shall apportion the spoils [booty] because He emptied out His nephesh into death and was numbered with the pasha [those who break away, rebels] and He bore the chet [penalty] of abundant [very, very many] and for the pasha [rebellion], paga [was impinged upon].
