Galatians 1
1 Poul the apostle, not of men, ne bi man, but bi Jhesu Crist, and God the fadir,
Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; )
2 that reiside hym fro deth, and alle the britheren that ben with me, to the chirchis of Galathie,
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 grace to you and pees of God the fadir, and of the Lord Jhesu Crist,
Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 that yaf hym silf for oure synnes, to delyuere vs fro the present wickid world, bi the wille of God and of oure fadir, (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 wondur, that so soone ye be thus moued fro hym that clepid you in to the grace of Crist, in to another euangelie; which is not anothir,
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 but that ther ben summe that troublen you, and wolen mysturne the euangelie of Crist.
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But thouy we, or an aungel of heuene, prechide to you, bisidis that that we han prechid to you, be he acursid.
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 Y haue seid bifore, and now eftsoones Y seie, if ony preche to you bisidis that that ye han vndurfongun, be he cursid.
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 now whether counsele Y men, or God? or whether Y seche to plese men? If Y pleside yit men, Y were not Cristis seruaunt.
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, britheren, Y make knowun to you the euangelie, that was prechid of me, for it is not bi man;
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 ne Y took it of man, ne lernyde, but bi reuelacioun of Jhesu Crist.
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye han herd my conuersacioun sumtyme in the Jurie, and that Y pursuede passyngli the chirche of God, and fauyt ayen it.
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 Y profitide in the Jurie aboue many of myn eueneldis in my kynrede, and was more aboundauntli a folewere of my fadris tradiciouns.
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 whanne it pleside hym, that departide me fro my modir wombe,
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called [me] by his grace,
16 and clepide bi his grace, to schewe his sone in me, that Y schulde preche hym among the hethene, anoon Y drowy me not to fleisch and blood; ne Y cam to Jerusalem to the apostlis,
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 that weren tofor me, but Y wente in to Arabie, and eftsoones Y turnede ayen in to Damask.
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 And sith thre yeer aftir Y cam to Jerusalem, to se Petre, and Y dwellide with hym fiftene daies;
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 but Y sawy noon othere of the apostlis, but James, oure Lordis brother.
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
20 And these thingis which Y write to you, lo! tofor God Y lie not.
Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Afterward Y cam in to the coostis of Syrie and Cilicie.
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 But Y was vnknowun bi face to the chirchis of Judee, that weren in Crist; and thei hadden oonli an heryng,
And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 that he that pursuede vs sum tyme, prechide now the feith, ayens which he fauyte sum tyme;
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 and in me thei glorifieden God.
And they glorified God in me.
