Παῦλος ἀπόστολος οὐκ ἀπ’ ἀνθρώπων οὐδὲ δι’ ἀνθρώπου ἀλλὰ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς τοῦ ἐγείραντος αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν |
Paul, an apostle— sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead— |
Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; ) |
|
| 2 |
καὶ οἱ σὺν ἐμοὶ πάντες ἀδελφοί Ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας |
and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia: |
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: |
|
| 3 |
Χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς ἡμῶν «καὶ Κυρίου» Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ |
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, |
Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ, |
|
| 4 |
τοῦ δόντος ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν ὅπως ἐξέληται ἡμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος πονηροῦ κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Πατρὸς ἡμῶν |
who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, |
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: |
|
| 5 |
ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων ἀμήν |
to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. |
To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
|
| 6 |
Θαυμάζω ὅτι οὕτως ταχέως μετατίθεσθε ἀπὸ τοῦ καλέσαντος ὑμᾶς ἐν χάριτι Χριστοῦ εἰς ἕτερον εὐαγγέλιον |
I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— |
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: |
|
| 7 |
ὃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλο εἰ μή τινές εἰσιν οἱ ταράσσοντες ὑμᾶς καὶ θέλοντες μεταστρέψαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ |
which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ. |
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. |
|
| 8 |
Ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἢ ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εὐαγγελίζηται* ὑμῖν παρ’ ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα ὑμῖν ἀνάθεμα ἔστω |
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse! |
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 |
ὡς προειρήκαμεν καὶ ἄρτι πάλιν λέγω εἴ τις ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελίζεται παρ’ ὃ παρελάβετε ἀνάθεμα ἔστω |
As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse! |
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 |
Ἄρτι γὰρ ἀνθρώπους πείθω ἢ τὸν Θεόν ἢ ζητῶ ἀνθρώποις ἀρέσκειν εἰ ἔτι ἀνθρώποις ἤρεσκον Χριστοῦ δοῦλος οὐκ ἂν ἤμην |
Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. |
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 |
γνωρίζω γὰρ ὑμῖν ἀδελφοί τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν ὑπ’ ἐμοῦ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν κατὰ ἄνθρωπον |
For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man. |
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. |
|
| 12 |
οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐγὼ παρὰ ἀνθρώπου παρέλαβον αὐτό οὔτε ἐδιδάχθην ἀλλὰ δι’ ἀποκαλύψεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ |
I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. |
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
|
| 13 |
Ἠκούσατε γὰρ τὴν ἐμὴν ἀναστροφήν ποτε ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ ὅτι καθ’ ὑπερβολὴν ἐδίωκον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐπόρθουν αὐτήν |
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy 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 |
καὶ προέκοπτον ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ ὑπὲρ πολλοὺς συνηλικιώτας ἐν τῷ γένει μου περισσοτέρως ζηλωτὴς ὑπάρχων τῶν πατρικῶν μου παραδόσεων |
I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers. |
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 |
Ὅτε δὲ εὐδόκησεν [ὁ θεὸς] ὁ ἀφορίσας με ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου καὶ καλέσας διὰ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ |
But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased |
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace, |
|
| 16 |
ἀποκαλύψαι τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἵνα εὐαγγελίζωμαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εὐθέως οὐ προσανεθέμην σαρκὶ καὶ αἵματι |
to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood, |
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: |
|
| 17 |
οὐδὲ ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα πρὸς τοὺς πρὸ ἐμοῦ ἀποστόλους ἀλλὰ ἀπῆλθον εἰς Ἀραβίαν καὶ πάλιν ὑπέστρεψα εἰς Δαμασκόν |
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus. |
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. |
|
| 18 |
Ἔπειτα μετὰ τρία ἔτη ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἱστορῆσαι Κηφᾶν καὶ ἐπέμεινα πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡμέρας δεκαπέντε |
Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days. |
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. |
|
| 19 |
ἕτερον δὲ τῶν ἀποστόλων οὐκ εἶδον εἰ μὴ Ἰάκωβον τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ Κυρίου |
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. |
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. |
|
| 20 |
ἃ δὲ γράφω ὑμῖν ἰδοὺ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι |
I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie. |
Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. |
|
| 21 |
Ἔπειτα ἦλθον εἰς τὰ κλίματα τῆς Συρίας καὶ τῆς Κιλικίας |
Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. |
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; |
|
| 22 |
ἤμην δὲ ἀγνοούμενος τῷ προσώπῳ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Ἰουδαίας ταῖς ἐν Χριστῷ |
I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. |
And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: |
|
| 23 |
μόνον δὲ ἀκούοντες ἦσαν ὅτι Ὁ διώκων ἡμᾶς ποτε νῦν εὐαγγελίζεται τὴν πίστιν ἥν ποτε ἐπόρθει |
They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy. |
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. |
|
| 24 |
καὶ ἐδόξαζον ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸν Θεόν |
And they glorified God because of me. |
And they glorified God in me. |
|
