Galatians 1
1 Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,
Paul, an apostle, not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,
2 and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.
and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father; (aiōn g165)
who gave Himself for our sins, in order that he might redeem us from the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father: (aiōn g165)
To whom be glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
I am astonished that you are so quickly removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ into another gospel;
7 which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
which is not another: but there are certain ones who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
But indeed if we, or an angel from heaven, may preach unto you any other gospel except that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.
As we have before said, and now again I tell you, If any one preaches to you a gospel except that which you have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.
For must I now believe men, or God? whether do I seek to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I would not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel was preached to me, that it is not according to a man;
12 For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
for I did not receive it from man, neither was I taught it, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
For you have heard of my life formerly in Judaism, that I was persecuting the church of God exceedingly, and destroying it:
14 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.
and I was prominent in Judaism above many comrades in my race, being exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
When the one having separated me, from the womb of my mother, and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days;
19 but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.
but I saw no other of the apostles, except James the brother of the Lord.
20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
Which things moreover I write unto you, behold, before God, that I lie not.
21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which are in Christ.
23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
But they were only hearing that The one persecuting us at one time is now preaching the faith which he was once desolating;
24 and they glorified God in me.
and they continued to glorify God in me.
