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; )
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 which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from 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, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our 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 marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another 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; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
which is not another: but there are certain ones who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto 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 said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that 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 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.
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 certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel was preached to me, that it is not according to a man;
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the 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 of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted 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 profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions 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 it pleased God, who separated me 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 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not 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 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto 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 see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days;
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
but I saw no other of the apostles, except James the brother of the Lord.
20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Which things moreover I write unto you, behold, before God, that I lie not.
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ:
But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which are in Christ.
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
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.
