Galatians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among 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 May grace and peace be granted to you 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 to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with 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 marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News.
θαυμαζω οτι ουτωσ ταχεωσ μετατιθεσθε απο του καλεσαντοσ υμασ εν χαριτι χριστου εισ ετερον ευαγγελιον
7 For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.
ο ουκ εστιν αλλο ει μη τινεσ εισιν οι ταρασσοντεσ υμασ και θελοντεσ μεταστρεψαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου
8 But if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought you, let him be accursed.
αλλα και εαν ημεισ η αγγελοσ εξ ουρανου ευαγγελιζηται υμιν παρ ο ευηγγελισαμεθα υμιν αναθεμα εστω
9 What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.
ωσ προειρηκαμεν και αρτι παλιν λεγω ει τισ υμασ ευαγγελιζεται παρ ο παρελαβετε αναθεμα εστω
10 For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.
αρτι γαρ ανθρωπουσ πειθω η τον θεον η ζητω ανθρωποισ αρεσκειν ει γαρ ετι ανθρωποισ ηρεσκον χριστου δουλοσ ουκ αν ημην
11 For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.
γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον το ευαγγελισθεν υπ εμου οτι ουκ εστιν κατα ανθρωπον
12 For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from Jesus Christ.
ουδε γαρ εγω παρα ανθρωπου παρελαβον αυτο ουτε εδιδαχθην αλλα δι αποκαλυψεωσ ιησου χριστου
13 For you have heard of my early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;
ηκουσατε γαρ την εμην αναστροφην ποτε εν τω ιουδαισμω οτι καθ υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του θεου και επορθουν αυτην
14 and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.
και προεκοπτον εν τω ιουδαισμω υπερ πολλουσ συνηλικιωτασ εν τω γενει μου περισσοτερωσ ζηλωτησ υπαρχων των πατρικων μου παραδοσεων
15 But when He who set me apart even from my birth, 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 saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,
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 my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.
ουδε ανηλθον εισ ιεροσολυμα προσ τουσ προ εμου αποστολουσ αλλα απηλθον εισ αραβιαν και παλιν υπεστρεψα εισ δαμασκον
18 Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.
επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανηλθον εισ ιεροσολυμα ιστορησαι πετρον και επεμεινα προσ αυτον ημερασ δεκαπεντε
19 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 making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.
α δε γραφω υμιν ιδου ενωπιον του θεου οτι ου ψευδομαι
21 Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.
επειτα ηλθον εισ τα κλιματα τησ συριασ και τησ κιλικιασ
22 But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.
ημην δε αγνοουμενοσ τω προσωπω ταισ εκκλησιαισ τησ ιουδαιασ ταισ εν χριστω
23 They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."
μονον δε ακουοντεσ ησαν οτι ο διωκων ημασ ποτε νυν ευαγγελιζεται την πιστιν ην ποτε επορθει
24 And they gave glory to God on my account.
και εδοξαζον εν εμοι τον θεον
