1 Paul, an apostle not from men nor through a man, but through Jesus Anointed and God a Father of the having raised him out of dead ones;
2 and those with me all brethren, to be congregations of the Galatia;
3 favor to you and peace from God a Father, and Lord of us Jesus Anointed,
4 of the having given himself concerning the sins of us, in order that he might rescue us out of the having been present an age of evil, according to the will of the God and Father of us,
5 to whom the glory for the ages of the ages: So be it.
6 I wonder, because so quickly you are being changed from the one having called you by favor of Anointed to other glad tidings;
7 which not is other; if not some are who are troubling you, and wishing to turn about the glad tidings to you,
8 contrary to what we announced a messenger from heaven should announce glad tidings to you, contrary to what we announced to you, accursed let him be.
9 As we before said, even now again I say: If any one you addresses with good tidings contrary to what you received, accursed let him be.
10 Now for men do I obey, or the God? or do I seek men to please? if for still men I pleased, of Anointed a slave not I should be.
11 I make known but to you, brethren, the glad tidings the having been announced by me, that not is according to man;
12 neither for I from man received it nor was I taught, but through a revelation of Jesus Anointed.
13 You heard for the my conduct formerly when in the Jewish religion, that exceedingly I persecuted the congregation of the God, and ravaged her;
14 and made progress in the Jewish religion beyond many of the same age among the race of me more earnestly a zealot being of the fathers of me traditions.
15 When but it pleased the God, that having set apart me from womb of mother of me, and having called through the favor of himself,
16 to reveal the son of himself to me, so that I might announce him to the nations; immediately, not I consulted with flesh and blood,
17 nor I went up to Jerusalem to those before me apostles, but I went into Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
18 Then after years three I went up to Jerusalem, to visit Peter, and I remained with him days fifteen;
19 other but of the apostles not I saw, if not James the brother of the Lord.
20 (What now I write to you, lo in presence of the God, that not I am speaking falsely.)
21 Then I went into the regions of the Syria and of the Cilicia;
22 I was but being unknown by the face to the congregation of the Judea those in Anointed;
23 only but hearing they were: That the one persecuting us once, now proclaims as glad tidings the faith which once he was laying waste;
24 and they were glorifying in me the God.
1 From Paul, who is an apostle not from men nor through men but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.
2 And from the brothers who are with me, to the congregations of Galatia:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 He Jesus gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us out of this present evil age. This is according to the will of our God and Father.
5 To him is glory forever and ever. Amen.
6 I am amazed that you so quickly turned away from the One who called you by the grace of Christ. You turned to different good news.
7 Yet this is not another good news. But there are some who trouble agitate you, and they would pervert the good news of Christ.
8 If we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any message other than that which we preached to you, let him be accursed condemnedexpelled.
9 We said before and now I say again, if any man preaches to you any message other than what you received, let him be accursed!
10 Do I now seek the favor of men, or of God? Am I striving to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 For I make known to you brothers that the good news that was preached by me is not according to man.
12 I did not receive it from man. I was not taught it! It came to me through revelation from Jesus Christ.
13 You heard about the way I lived as a Jew. How I persecuted the congregation of God beyond measure. In fact I tried to destroy it!
14 I advanced as a Jew beyond many of my own age among my countrymen. I was more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 It pleased God to separate me even from my mothers womb and call me through his grace.
16 He revealed his Son to me that I might preach him among the nations. I do not confer with flesh and blood human beings.
17 I did not go to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before I was. I went away to Arabia and again I returned to Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and waited with him fifteen days.
19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother.
20 What I write is true. God knows I do not lie.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 I was still unknown by face to the congregations of Judea that are in Christ.
23 They heard it said: »He that once persecuted us now preaches the faith he once tried to destroy.«
24 They glorified God because of me.
