< Galatians 1 >
1 Pavl an Apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father which hath raised him from the dead)
Paul, an apostle, —not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead,
2 And all the brethren which are with me, vnto the Churches of Galatia:
And all the brethren with me; —unto the assemblies of Galatia:
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ,
Favour unto you and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ, —
4 Which gaue himself for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world according to the will of God euen our Father, (aiōn )
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, — (aiōn )
5 To whom be glory for euer and euer, Amen. (aiōn )
Unto whom be the glory unto the ages of ages: Amen! (aiōn )
6 I marueile that ye are so soone remoued away vnto another Gospel, from him that had called you in the grace of Christ,
I marvel that, thus quickly, ye are moving away from him that called you in the favour of Christ, unto a different glad-message, —
7 Which is not another Gospel, saue that there be some which trouble you, and intend to peruert the Gospel of Christ.
Which is not, another, only there are, some, that are troubling you, and wishing to change the glad-message of the Christ.
8 But though that we, or an Angel from heauen preach vnto you otherwise, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let him be accursed.
But, even if, we, or, a messenger out of heaven, announce a glad-message [unto you] aside from that which we announced unto you, accursed, let him be!
9 As we sayd before, so say I now againe, If any man preach vnto you otherwise, then that ye haue receiued, let him be accursed.
As we have said before, even now, again, I say: If anyone is announcing unto you a glad-message aside from that which ye accepted, accursed, let him be!
10 For nowe preach I mans doctrine, or Gods? or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the seruant of Christ.
For am I, even now, persuading, men, or God? Or am I seeking to please, men? If I had been still pleasing, men, Christ’s servant, had I not been!
11 Now I certifie you, brethren, that ye Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man.
For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;
12 For neither receiued I it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ.
For neither, from man, did I accept it, nor was taught [it], —but through a revealing of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye haue heard of my conuersation in time past, in the Iewish religion, how that I persecuted the Church of God extremely, and wasted it,
For ye have heard, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,
14 And profited in the Iewish religion aboue many of my companions of mine owne nation, and was much more zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
And was making advancement, in Judaism, above many contemporaries in my nation, being, surpassingly zealous, of my paternal instructions.
15 But when it pleased God (which had separated me from my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace)
But, when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me through his favour, was well-pleased
16 To reueile his Sonne in me, that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediatly I communicated not with flesh and blood:
to reveal his Son in me, that I might announce the glad-message regarding him among the nations, straightway, I conferred not with flesh and blood,
17 Neither came I againe to Hierusalem to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and turned againe vnto Damascus.
Neither went I up unto Jerusalem unto them who, before me, were apostles, —but I went away into Arabia, and again returned unto Damascus.
18 Then after three yeeres I came againe to Hierusalem to visite Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes.
Then, after three years, went I up unto Jerusalem, to become acquainted with Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days;
19 And none other of the Apostles sawe I, saue Iames the Lords brother.
But, other of the apostles, saw I none, save James the brother of the Lord: —
20 Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not.
Now, as touching the things which I am writing to you, lo! before God, I am not guilty of falsehood: —
21 After that, I went into the coastes of Syria and Cilicia:
After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,
22 for I was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ.
And was still unknown, by face, unto the assemblies of Judaea which were in Christ, —
23 But they had heard onely some say, Hee which persecuted vs in time past, nowe preacheth the faith which before he destroyed.
Only they were hearing—He that was persecuting us formerly, now, is announcing the glad-message of the faith which he formerly laid waste;
24 And they glorified God for me.
And they were glorifying, God, in me.
