Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ.
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
ⲅ̅⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲧϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age (aiōn g165), according to the will of our God and Father—
ⲇ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ. (aiōn g165)

6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
ⲋ̅ϯⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
7 but there is not another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲉ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲉⲩ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲫⲉⲛϩ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ.
9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
ⲑ̅⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ ⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ.
10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
ⲓ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϣⲁⲛ ⲫϯ ϣⲁⲛ ⲁⲓⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
12 For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϭⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲁⲩϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁϫⲓⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲛⲁⲓϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲓϣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
14 I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲓⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲁⲓⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲭⲟϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⲛⲁⲓⲟϯ ⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲧ.
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲫⲟⲣϫⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲛⲉϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲉϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϣⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϧⲁϫⲱⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲁⲃⲓⲁ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲕⲟⲧⲧ ⳿ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲓⲧⲁ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲁⲓϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲟϩⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛϯϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲁⲛ.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲥⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲕⲩⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁϩⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲓⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ϥϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ.
24 So they glorified God in me.
