Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle, —not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead,
Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; )
2 And all the brethren with me; —unto the assemblies of Galatia:
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Favour unto you and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ, —
Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 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 g165)
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)
To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I marvel that, thus quickly, ye are moving away from him that called you in the favour of Christ, unto a different glad-message, —
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not, another, only there are, some, that are troubling you, and wishing to change the glad-message of the Christ.
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 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!
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.
9 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!
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.
10 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!
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.
11 For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For neither, from man, did I accept it, nor was taught [it], —but through a revealing of Jesus Christ.
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 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,
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:
14 And was making advancement, in Judaism, above many contemporaries in my nation, being, surpassingly zealous, of my paternal instructions.
And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 But, when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me through his favour, was well-pleased
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called [me] by his grace,
16 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,
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Neither went I up unto Jerusalem unto them who, before me, were apostles, —but I went away into Arabia, and again returned unto Damascus.
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Then, after three years, went I up unto Jerusalem, to become acquainted with Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days;
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 But, other of the apostles, saw I none, save James the brother of the Lord: —
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
20 Now, as touching the things which I am writing to you, lo! before God, I am not guilty of falsehood: —
Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 And was still unknown, by face, unto the assemblies of Judaea which were in Christ, —
And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 Only they were hearing—He that was persecuting us formerly, now, is announcing the glad-message of the faith which he formerly laid waste;
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 And they were glorifying, God, in me.
And they glorified God in me.
