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—
Paulos, an apostle, not from men, nor by men, but by Jeshu the Meshiha, and Aloha his Father, who raised him from among the dead,
2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches which are in Galatia:
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Grace be with you and peace, from Aloha the Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,
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)
who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from this evil world, according to the will of Aloha our Father: (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory to the age of ages. Amen. (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—
I am amazed how soon you have been turned from the Meshiha himself, who called you by his grace,
7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
unto another gospel, which it is not; but there are men who disturb you, and (who) wish to remove you from the gospel of the Meshiha.
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!
But if we also, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you other than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
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!
As I have said before, and now again say to you, If any man preach to you other than what you have received, let him be accursed.
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.
For now do I persuade men, or Aloha? or do I seek to please men? For if until now I had pleased men, I should not have been the servant of the Meshiha.
11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
But I make known to you, my brethren, that the gospel which is preached by me was not from man:
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
for neither from man had I received it and taught it, but by the revelation of Jeshu the Meshiha.
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.
For you have heard of my former manners in Judaism, that I exceedingly persecuted the church of Aloha, and made it desolate.
14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
And I excelled in Judaism more than many of the sons of my years who were of my kindred, and was exceedingly zealous for the doctrine of my fathers.
15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
But, when He willed who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
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,
to reveal his Son in me, that I should preach among the nations, immediately I did not disclose to flesh and to blood;
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.
neither went I to Urishlem, to the apostles who were before me, but I went into Arabia, and again returned unto Darmsuk.
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
And after three years I went unto Urishlem, that I might see Kipha, and I remained with him days fifteen.
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
But others of the apostles I saw not, only Jakub, the brother of our Lord.
20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
But these which I write to you, behold, before Aloha, that I lie not.
21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
And after these I went to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia.
22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Neither did the churches of Jihud which are in the Meshiha know me by face.
23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
But this only they had heard, that he who had formerly persecuted us, behold, now preacheth he that faith which he beforetime had overthrown.
24 And they glorified God because of me.
And in me they glorified Aloha.
