Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; )
Παῦλος, ἀπόστολος (οὐκ ἀπʼ ἀνθρώπων, οὐδὲ διʼ ἀνθρώπου, ἀλλὰ διὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ, καὶ ˚Θεοῦ Πατρὸς τοῦ ἐγείραντος αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν),
2 And all the brothers which are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
καὶ οἱ σὺν ἐμοὶ πάντες ἀδελφοί, ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας:
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ ˚Θεοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ ˚Κυρίου ἡμῶν ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ,
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165)
τοῦ δόντος ἑαυτὸν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν, ὅπως ἐξέληται ἡμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος πονηροῦ, κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ καὶ Πατρὸς ἡμῶν, (aiōn g165)
ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν! (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ to another gospel:
Θαυμάζω ὅτι οὕτως ταχέως, μετατίθεσθε ἀπὸ τοῦ καλέσαντος ὑμᾶς ἐν χάριτι ˚Χριστοῦ, εἰς ἕτερον εὐαγγέλιον,
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
ὃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλο, εἰ μή τινές εἰσιν οἱ ταράσσοντες ὑμᾶς, καὶ θέλοντες μεταστρέψαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
Ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἢ ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ὑμῖν εὐαγγελίζηται παρʼ ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα ὑμῖν, ἀνάθεμα ἔστω!
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel to you than that you have received, let him be accursed.
Ὡς προειρήκαμεν, καὶ ἄρτι πάλιν λέγω, εἴ τις ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελίζεται παρʼ ὃ παρελάβετε, ἀνάθεμα ἔστω!
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Ἄρτι γὰρ ἀνθρώπους πείθω ἢ τὸν ˚Θεόν; Ἢ ζητῶ ἀνθρώποις ἀρέσκειν; Εἰ ἔτι ἀνθρώποις ἤρεσκον, ˚Χριστοῦ δοῦλος οὐκ ἂν ἤμην.
11 But I certify you, brothers, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Γνωρίζω γὰρ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν κατὰ ἄνθρωπον.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐγὼ παρὰ ἀνθρώπου παρέλαβον αὐτό, οὔτε ἐδιδάχθην, ἀλλὰ διʼ ἀποκαλύψεως ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ.
13 For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
Ἠκούσατε γὰρ τὴν ἐμὴν ἀναστροφήν ποτε ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ, ὅτι καθʼ ὑπερβολὴν ἐδίωκον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπόρθουν αὐτήν.
14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Καὶ προέκοπτον ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ ὑπὲρ πολλοὺς συνηλικιώτας ἐν τῷ γένει μου, περισσοτέρως ζηλωτὴς ὑπάρχων τῶν πατρικῶν μου παραδόσεων.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
Ὅτε δὲ εὐδόκησεν ὁ, ἀφορίσας με ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου, καὶ καλέσας διὰ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
ἀποκαλύψαι τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ, ἵνα εὐαγγελίζωμαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, εὐθέως οὐ προσανεθέμην σαρκὶ καὶ αἵματι,
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
οὐδὲ ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα πρὸς τοὺς πρὸ ἐμοῦ ἀποστόλους, ἀλλὰ ἀπῆλθον εἰς Ἀραβίαν, καὶ πάλιν ὑπέστρεψα εἰς Δαμασκόν.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Ἔπειτα μετὰ ἔτη τρία, ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἱστορῆσαι Κηφᾶν, καὶ ἐπέμεινα πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡμέρας δεκαπέντε.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
Ἕτερον δὲ τῶν ἀποστόλων οὐκ εἶδον, εἰ μὴ Ἰάκωβον, τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ ˚Κυρίου.
20 Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Ἃ δὲ γράφω ὑμῖν, ἰδοὺ, ἐνώπιον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι.
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Ἔπειτα ἦλθον εἰς τὰ κλίματα τῆς Συρίας καὶ τῆς Κιλικίας.
22 And was unknown by face to the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
Ἤμην δὲ ἀγνοούμενος τῷ προσώπῳ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ταῖς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ,
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preaches the faith which once he destroyed.
μόνον δὲ ἀκούοντες ἦσαν, ὅτι “Ὁ διώκων ἡμᾶς ποτε, νῦν εὐαγγελίζεται τὴν πίστιν, ἥν ποτε ἐπόρθει.”
24 And they glorified God in me.
Καὶ ἐδόξαζον ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸν ˚Θεόν.
