Paul's greeting to the Galatians; |
He wonders why they have so soon left him and the gospel; |
and accurses those who preach any other gospel than he did. |
10 Ἄρτι γὰρ ἀνθρώπους πείθω ἢ τὸν θεὸν; ἢ ζητῶ ἀνθρώποις ἀρέσκειν; εἰ ἔτι ἀνθρώποις ἤρεσκον, Χριστοῦ δοῦλος οὐκ ἂν ἤμην. |
He learned the gospel not from men, but from God; |
13 Ἠκούσατε γὰρ τὴν ἐμὴν ἀναστροφήν ποτε ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ, ὅτι καθ’ ὑπερβολὴν ἐδιώκον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπόρθουν αὐτὴν, |
and shows what he was before his calling; |
and what he did immediately after it. |
18 Ἔπειτα
μετὰ
τρία
ἔτη
ἀνῆλθον
εἰς
Ἱεροσόλυμα
ἱστορῆσαι
Κηφᾶν
καὶ
ἐπέμεινα
πρὸς
αὐτὸν
ἡμέρας
δεκαπέντε,
19 ἕτερον
δὲ
τῶν
ἀποστόλων
οὐκ
εἶδον
εἰ
μὴ
Ἰάκωβον
τὸν
ἀδελφὸν
τοῦ
κυρίου.
20 ἃ
δὲ
γράφω
ὑμῖν,
ἰδοὺ
ἐνώπιον
τοῦ
θεοῦ
ὅτι
οὐ
ψεύδομαι.
21 Ἔπειτα
ἦλθον
εἰς
τὰ
κλίματα
τῆς
Συρίας
καὶ
τῆς
Κιλικίας·
22 ἤμην
δὲ
ἀγνοούμενος
τῷ
προσώπῳ
ταῖς
ἐκκλησίαις
τῆς
Ἰουδαίας
ταῖς
ἐν
Χριστῷ.
23 μόνον
δὲ
ἀκούοντες
ἦσαν
ὅτι
ὸ
διώκων
ἡμᾶς
ποτε
νῦν
εὐαγγελίζεται
τὴν
πίστιν
ἣν
ποτε
ἐπόρθει,
24 καὶ
ἐδόξαζον
ἐν
ἐμοὶ
τὸν
θεόν. |
