Galatians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back 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 churches 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, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father: (aiōn g165)
ⲇ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ. (aiōn g165)
ⲉ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ. (aiōn g165)
6 I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;
ⲋ̅ϯⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
7 Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in 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 if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ.
9 As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.
ⲑ̅⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ ⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ.
10 Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was 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 Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
12 For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in 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 news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to 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 And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from 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, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲫⲟⲣϫⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲛⲉϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
16 To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲉϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ.
17 And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back 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 see Cephas, and was there 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 only James, the Lord's brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪.
20 Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛϯϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲁⲛ.
21 Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲥⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲕⲩⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ.
22 And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁϩⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲓⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
23 Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ϥϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ.
24 And they gave glory to God in me.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩϯⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ
