Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,

4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn g165)
ⲇ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ. (aiōn g165)

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different Good News;
ⲋ̅ϯⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
7 and there is not another Good News. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲉ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲉⲩ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲫⲉⲛϩ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a Good News other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ.
9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a Good News other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
ⲑ̅⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ ⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ.
10 For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
ⲓ̅ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϣⲁⲛ ⲫϯ ϣⲁⲛ ⲁⲓⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϯⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
12 For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϭⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲁⲩϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
13 For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁϫⲓⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲛⲁⲓϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲓϣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
14 I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲓⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲁⲓⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲭⲟϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⲛⲁⲓⲟϯ ⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲧ.
15 But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲫⲟⲣϫⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲛⲉϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
16 to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲉϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϣⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϧⲁϫⲱⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲁⲃⲓⲁ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲕⲟⲧⲧ ⳿ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲓⲧⲁ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲁⲓϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲟϩⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛϯϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲁⲛ.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲥⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲕⲩⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ.
22 I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁϩⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲓⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
23 but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ϥϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ.
24 And they glorified God because of me.
