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),
παυλος αποστολος ουκ απ ανθρωπων ουδε δι ανθρωπου αλλα δια ιησου χριστου και θεου πατρος του εγειραντος αυτον εκ νεκρων
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
και οι συν εμοι παντες αδελφοι ταις εκκλησιαις της γαλατιας
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
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)
του δοντος εαυτον περι των αμαρτιων ημων οπως εξεληται ημας εκ του ενεστωτος αιωνος πονηρου κατα το θελημα του θεου και πατρος ημων (aiōn g165)
ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (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";
θαυμαζω οτι ουτως ταχεως μετατιθεσθε απο του καλεσαντος υμας εν χαριτι χριστου εις ετερον ευαγγελιον
7 and there is not another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
ο ουκ εστιν αλλο ει μη τινες εισιν οι ταρασσοντες υμας και θελοντες μεταστρεψαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου
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.
αλλα και εαν ημεις η αγγελος εξ ουρανου ευαγγελιζηται υμιν παρ ο ευηγγελισαμεθα υμιν αναθεμα εστω
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.
ως προειρηκαμεν και αρτι παλιν λεγω ει τις υμας ευαγγελιζεται παρ ο παρελαβετε αναθεμα εστω
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.
αρτι γαρ ανθρωπους πειθω η τον θεον η ζητω ανθρωποις αρεσκειν ει γαρ ετι ανθρωποις ηρεσκον χριστου δουλος ουκ αν ημην
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον το ευαγγελισθεν υπ εμου οτι ουκ εστιν κατα ανθρωπον
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.
ουδε γαρ εγω παρα ανθρωπου παρελαβον αυτο ουτε εδιδαχθην αλλα δι αποκαλυψεως ιησου χριστου
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.
ηκουσατε γαρ την εμην αναστροφην ποτε εν τω ιουδαισμω οτι καθ υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του θεου και επορθουν αυτην
14 I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
και προεκοπτον εν τω ιουδαισμω υπερ πολλους συνηλικιωτας εν τω γενει μου περισσοτερως ζηλωτης υπαρχων των πατρικων μου παραδοσεων
15 But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
οτε δε ευδοκησεν ο θεος ο αφορισας με εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και καλεσας δια της χαριτος αυτου
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,
αποκαλυψαι τον υιον αυτου εν εμοι ινα ευαγγελιζωμαι αυτον εν τοις εθνεσιν ευθεως ου προσανεθεμην σαρκι και αιματι
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.
ουδε ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα προς τους προ εμου αποστολους αλλα απηλθον εις αραβιαν και παλιν υπεστρεψα εις δαμασκον
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα ιστορησαι πετρον και επεμεινα προς αυτον ημερας δεκαπεντε
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
ετερον δε των αποστολων ουκ ειδον ει μη ιακωβον τον αδελφον του κυριου
20 Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
α δε γραφω υμιν ιδου ενωπιον του θεου οτι ου ψευδομαι
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
επειτα ηλθον εις τα κλιματα της συριας και της κιλικιας
22 I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ,
ημην δε αγνοουμενος τω προσωπω ταις εκκλησιαις της ιουδαιας ταις εν χριστω
23 but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
μονον δε ακουοντες ησαν οτι ο διωκων ημας ποτε νυν ευαγγελιζεται την πιστιν ην ποτε επορθει
24 And they glorified God because of me.
και εδοξαζον εν εμοι τον θεον
