Galatians 1:1-9 ▼

1 Paul (humble), an apostle (sent one)—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One) and God {Theou} the Father, who raised Him from the dead—

2 and all the brothers (and sisters) with me, To the churches {ekklēsiais} of Galatia (Land of the Gauls):

3 Grace and peace to you⁺ from God {Theou} our Father and the Lord {Kyriou} Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ [God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ],

4 who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God {Theou} and Father,

5 to whom be glory {doxa} forever \to the ages/ and ever. Amen.

6 I am amazed how quickly you⁺ are deserting the One who called you⁺ by the grace of Christ (the Anointed One) and are turning to a different gospel (good news)—

7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you⁺ and trying to distort the gospel (good news) of Christ (the Anointed One).

8 But even if we or an angel (messenger) from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you⁺, let him be under a curse!

9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you⁺ a gospel (good news) contrary to the one you⁺ received, let him be under a curse!
