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—
παυλος αποστολος ουκ απ ανθρωπων ουδε δι ανθρωπου αλλα δια ιησου χριστου και θεου πατρος του εγειραντος αυτον εκ νεκρων
2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
και οι συν εμοι παντες αδελφοι ταις εκκλησιαις της γαλατιας
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
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)
του δοντος εαυτον υπερ των αμαρτιων ημων οπως εξεληται ημας εκ του αιωνος του ενεστωτος πονηρου κατα το θελημα του θεου και πατρος ημων (aiōn g165)
ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (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—
θαυμαζω οτι ουτως ταχεως μετατιθεσθε απο του καλεσαντος υμας εν χαριτι {VAR1: χριστου } {VAR2: [χριστου] } εις ετερον ευαγγελιον
7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
ο ουκ εστιν αλλο ει μη τινες εισιν οι ταρασσοντες υμας και θελοντες μεταστρεψαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου
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!
αλλα και εαν ημεις η αγγελος εξ ουρανου {VAR1: ευαγγελισηται } {VAR2: ευαγγελιζηται } [υμιν] παρ ο ευηγγελισαμεθα υμιν αναθεμα εστω
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!
ως προειρηκαμεν και αρτι παλιν λεγω ει τις υμας ευαγγελιζεται παρ ο παρελαβετε αναθεμα εστω
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.
αρτι γαρ ανθρωπους πειθω η τον θεον η ζητω ανθρωποις αρεσκειν ει ετι ανθρωποις ηρεσκον χριστου δουλος ουκ αν ημην
11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
γνωριζω γαρ υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον το ευαγγελισθεν υπ εμου οτι ουκ εστιν κατα ανθρωπον
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
ουδε γαρ εγω παρα ανθρωπου παρελαβον αυτο ουτε εδιδαχθην αλλα δι αποκαλυψεως ιησου χριστου
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.
ηκουσατε γαρ την εμην αναστροφην ποτε εν τω ιουδαισμω οτι καθ υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του θεου και επορθουν αυτην
14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
και προεκοπτον εν τω ιουδαισμω υπερ πολλους συνηλικιωτας εν τω γενει μου περισσοτερως ζηλωτης υπαρχων των πατρικων μου παραδοσεων
15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
οτε δε ευδοκησεν [ο θεος] ο αφορισας με εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και καλεσας δια της χαριτος αυτου
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,
αποκαλυψαι τον υιον αυτου εν εμοι ινα ευαγγελιζωμαι αυτον εν τοις εθνεσιν ευθεως ου προσανεθεμην σαρκι και αιματι
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.
ουδε ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα προς τους προ εμου αποστολους αλλα απηλθον εις αραβιαν και παλιν υπεστρεψα εις δαμασκον
18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
επειτα μετα {VAR1: τρια ετη } {VAR2: ετη τρια } ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα ιστορησαι κηφαν και επεμεινα προς αυτον ημερας δεκαπεντε
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
ετερον δε των αποστολων ουκ ειδον ει μη ιακωβον τον αδελφον του κυριου
20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
α δε γραφω υμιν ιδου ενωπιον του θεου οτι ου ψευδομαι
21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
επειτα ηλθον εις τα κλιματα της συριας και {VAR1: [της] } {VAR2: της } κιλικιας
22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
ημην δε αγνοουμενος τω προσωπω ταις εκκλησιαις της ιουδαιας ταις εν χριστω
23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
μονον δε ακουοντες ησαν οτι ο διωκων ημας ποτε νυν ευαγγελιζεται την πιστιν ην ποτε επορθει
24 And they glorified God because of me.
και εδοξαζον εν εμοι τον θεον
