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, a legate, not from men, nor by man, but by Jesus the Messiah, and God his 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; unto the churches which are in Galatia.
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Grace be with you, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah;
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, that he might deliver us from this evil world, agreeably to the pleasure of God our Father: (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory for ever and ever. 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 admire, how soon ye have turned from the Messiah, who called you by his grace, unto 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 doth not exist, except as there are some who would disquiet you, and are disposed to pervert the gospel of the Messiah.
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 if we, or an angel from heaven, should announce to you differently from what we have announced to 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 I have just said, and now I again say it, that if any one announce to you differently from what ye 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 do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I had till now pleased men, I should not have been a servant of the Messiah.
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, my brethren, that the gospel announced by me, was not from 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 and learn it from man, but I had it by revelation from Jesus the Messiah.
13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
For ye have heard of my former course of life in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God exceedingly, and destroyed it:
14 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.
and that I went much farther in Judaism than many of my contemporaries who were of my nation, and was peculiarly zealous for the doctrine of my fathers.
15 But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
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 by me, that I should proclaim him among the Gentiles; forthwith, I did not open it to 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.
nor did I go to Jerusalem, to them who were legates before me; but I went 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;
and after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Cephas; and I remained with him fifteen days.
19 but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.
But others of the legates I saw not, except James, our Lord's brother.
20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
In the things which I am writing to you, behold, before God! I lie not.
21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
And after that, I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
And the churches in Judaea which were in the Messiah; did not know me personally:
23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
but this only had they heard, that he who before persecuted us, now preacheth that faith which in time preceding he subverted:
24 and they glorified God in me.
and they glorified God in me.
