< Galatians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle, ( not from men, neither by man, but by 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 brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
και οι συν εμοι παντες αδελφοι ταις εκκλησιαις της γαλατιας
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our 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 from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn )
του δοντος εαυτον υπερ των αμαρτιων ημων οπως εξεληται ημας εκ του ενεστωτος αιωνος πονηρου κατα το θελημα του θεου και πατρος ημων (aiōn )
5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (aiōn )
6 I marvel that ye are so soon turning from him that called you into the grace of Christ to another gospel:
θαυμαζω οτι ουτως ταχεως μετατιθεσθε απο του καλεσαντος υμας εν χαριτι χριστου εις ετερον ευαγγελιον
7 Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
ο ουκ εστιν αλλο ει μη τινες εισιν οι ταρασσοντες υμας και θελοντες μεταστρεψαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
αλλα και εαν ημεις η αγγελος εξ ουρανου ευαγγελιζηται υμιν παρ ο ευηγγελισαμεθα υμιν αναθεμα εστω
9 As we said before, so I say now again, If any man preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
ως προειρηκαμεν και αρτι παλιν λεγω ει τις υμας ευαγγελιζεται παρ ο παρελαβετε αναθεμα εστω
10 For do I now seek the favour of men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the 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, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον το ευαγγελισθεν υπ εμου οτι ουκ εστιν κατα ανθρωπον
12 For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
ουδε γαρ εγω παρα ανθρωπου παρελαβον αυτο ουτε εδιδαχθην αλλα δι αποκαλυψεως ιησου χριστου
13 For ye have heard of my former manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
ηκουσατε γαρ την εμην αναστροφην ποτε εν τω ιουδαισμω οτι καθ υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του θεου και επορθουν αυτην
14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of 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 it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
οτε δε ευδοκησεν ο θεος ο αφορισας με εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και καλεσας δια της χαριτος αυτου
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
αποκαλυψαι τον υιον αυτου εν εμοι ινα ευαγγελιζωμαι αυτον εν τοις εθνεσιν ευθεως ου προσανεθεμην σαρκι και αιματι
17 Neither did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again 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 to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα ιστορησαι πετρον και επεμεινα προς αυτον ημερας δεκαπεντε
19 But I saw no other of the apostles, except James the Lord’s brother.
ετερον δε των αποστολων ουκ ειδον ει μη ιακωβον τον αδελφον του κυριου
20 Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.
α δε γραφω υμιν ιδου ενωπιον του θεου οτι ου ψευδομαι
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
επειτα ηλθον εις τα κλιματα της συριας και της κιλικιας
22 And was unknown by face to the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
ημην δε αγνοουμενος τω προσωπω ταις εκκλησιαις της ιουδαιας ταις εν χριστω
23 But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
μονον δε ακουοντες ησαν οτι ο διωκων ημας ποτε νυν ευαγγελιζεται την πιστιν ην ποτε επορθει
24 And they glorified God in me.
και εδοξαζον εν εμοι τον θεον
