Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle—not an apostle from men nor by human agency, 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 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 so that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
του δοντος εαυτον υπερ 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 amazed that you are turning away so quickly from him who called you by the grace of Christ. I am amazed that you are turning to a different gospel.
θαυμαζω οτι ουτως ταχεως μετατιθεσθε απο του καλεσαντος υμας εν χαριτι χριστου εις ετερον ευαγγελιον
7 This is not to say that there is another gospel, but there are some men who cause you trouble and want to change the gospel of Christ.
ο ουκ εστιν αλλο ει μη τινες εισιν οι ταρασσοντες υμας και θελοντες μεταστρεψαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel other than the one we proclaimed 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 now I say again, “If someone proclaims to you a gospel other than the one 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 approval of men or God? Am I seeking to please men? If I am still trying to please men, I am not 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 For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I proclaimed is not man's gospel.
γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον το ευαγγελισθεν υπ εμου οτι ουκ εστιν κατα ανθρωπον
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it. Instead, it was by revelation of Jesus Christ to me.
ουδε γαρ εγω παρα ανθρωπου παρελαβον αυτο ουτε εδιδαχθην αλλα δι αποκαλυψεως ιησου χριστου
13 You have heard about my former life in Judaism, how I was persecuting the church of God beyond measure and that I was trying 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 those who were my own age, from out of my own people. That is how extremely zealous I was 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 who called me through his grace,
οτε δε ευδοκησεν ο θεος ο αφορισας με εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και καλεσας δια της χαριτος αυτου
16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I would proclaim him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood.
αποκαλυψαι τον υιον αυτου εν εμοι ινα ευαγγελιζωμαι αυτον εν τοις εθνεσιν ευθεως ου προσανεθεμην σαρκι και αιματι
17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me. Instead, I went to Arabia and then returned to Damascus.
ουδε ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα προς τους προ εμου αποστολους αλλ απηλθον εις αραβιαν και παλιν υπεστρεψα εις δαμασκον
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to get to know Cephas and I stayed with him fifteen days.
επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα ιστορησαι πετρον και επεμεινα προς αυτον ημερας δεκαπεντε
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
ετερον δε των αποστολων ουκ ειδον ει μη ιακωβον τον αδελφον του κυριου
20 In what I write to you, I assure you before God, that I am not lying.
α δε γραφω υμιν ιδου ενωπιον του θεου οτι ου ψευδομαι
21 Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
επειτα ηλθον εις τα κλιματα της συριας και της κιλικιας
22 I was still not personally known to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
ημην δε αγνοουμενος τω προσωπω ταις εκκλησιαις της ιουδαιας ταις εν χριστω
23 They only heard it being said, “The man who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy.”
μονον δε ακουοντες ησαν οτι ο διωκων ημας ποτε νυν ευαγγελιζεται την πιστιν ην ποτε επορθει
24 So they glorified God because of me.
και εδοξαζον εν εμοι τον θεον
