Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
4 who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ (aiōn g165)
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ (aiōn g165)
6 I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
ⲋ̅ϯⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ
7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲙⲛⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ
9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!
ⲑ̅ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲣⲡϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ
10 Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲛⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲏ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲓⲧϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
13 For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲁϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲓϩⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲉⲓⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲛⲁⲧⲁϭⲟⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ
15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲣϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲟⲣϫⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲉⲓⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲧ
16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϭⲗⲡ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲧ ⲉⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲓ ⲥⲛⲟϥ
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ϣⲁⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲁϩⲏ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲁⲃⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲕⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓϭⲱ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲏ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϭⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛϯϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ
21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲓⲕⲗⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛⲧ ⲕⲓⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ
22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲟ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϥϣⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲓⲧⲉ
24 And they glorified God because of me.
