The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians

Return to Index

Chapter 1

1


 

   Paul, an Apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among the dead--  

 

 

-

2


 

   and all the brethren who are with me: To the Churches of Galatia.  

 

 

-

3


 

   May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,  

 

 

-

4


 

   who gave Himself to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will of our God and Father.  

 

 

-

5


 

   To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen.  

 

 

-

6


 

   I marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News.  

 

 

-

7


 

   For other 'Good News' there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.  

 

 

-

8


 

   But if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought you, let him be accursed.  

 

 

-

9


 

   What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.  

 

 

-

10


 

   For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.  

 

 

-

11


 

   For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.  

 

 

-

12


 

   For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from Jesus Christ.  

 

 

-

13


 

   For you have heard of my early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;  

 

 

-

14


 

   and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.  

 

 

-

15


 

   But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,  

 

 

-

16


 

   saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,  

 

 

-

17


 

   nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.  

 

 

-

18


 

   Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.  

 

 

-

19


 

   I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.  

 

 

-

20


 

   In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.  

 

 

-

21


 

   Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.  

 

 

-

22


 

   But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.  

 

 

-

23


 

   They only heard it said, 'He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc.'  

 

 

-

24


 

   And they gave glory to God on my account.
