| 1 | Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), | Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— | Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by a man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— | |
| 2 | and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia: | and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: | and all the brothers and sisters with me, To the churches in Galatia: | |
| 3 | Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, | Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, | Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, | |
| 4 | Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father; | who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, | who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, | |
| 5 | to Whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. | to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. | to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. | |
| 6 | I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from Him Who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different Gospel, | I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— | I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— | |
| 7 | which is not another; only there are some who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the Gospel of Christ. | not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. | which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. | |
| 8 | But even if we or an angel out of Heaven should proclaim a Gospel to you other than that which we delivered to you, let him be accursed! | But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. | But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! | |
| 9 | As we have said before, even now also I say again, if any one is delivering a Gospel to you, contrary to that which ye received, let him be accursed. | 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 accursed. | As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! | |
| 10 | For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I seeking to please men? If still I were pleasing men, I should not be Christ's servant. | For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. | Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. | |
| 11 | For I make known to you, brethren, that the Gospel which was proclaimed by me is not according to man; | For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. | I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. | |
| 12 | for neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it , but I received it through revelation of Jesus Christ. | For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. | I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. | |
| 13 | For ye heard of my conduct formerly in Judaism; that, beyond measure, I was persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste; | For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. | For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. | |
| 14 | and was making progress in Judaism above many companions of the same age in my own nation, being more exceedingly a zealot for my ancestral instructions. | And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. | I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers. | |
| 15 | But, when it pleased God, who set me apart from my mother's womb, and called me through His grace, | But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, | But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased | |
| 16 | to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim the good news of Him among the gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood, | was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone; | to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. | |
| 17 | neither went I up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and again returned to Damascus. | nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. | I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus. | |
| 18 | Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and continued with him fifteen days. | Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. | Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days. | |
| 19 | But other of the apostles I saw not, except James, the brother of the Lord. | But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother. | I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord’s brother. | |
| 20 | Now as to the things I am writing to you, behold, before God, I am not lying. | (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) | I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie. | |
| 21 | After that I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; | Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. | Then I went to Syria and Cilicia. | |
| 22 | and I was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judaea, which were in Christ; | And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. | I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. | |
| 23 | but they were only hearing, "He who was once persecuting us now proclaims the faith which once he was destroying." | They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” | They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” | |
| 24 | And they were glorifying God in me. | And they glorified God because of me. | And they praised God because of me. | |
