Previous Chapter | Next Chapter | Home

1.

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

2.

And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

3.

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

4.

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.

To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

6.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7.

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8.

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.

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.

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.

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

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:

And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

And they glorified God in me.

1.

Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

2.

and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

3.

Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

4.

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:

5.

to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

6.

I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;

7.

which is not another gospel only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.

9.

As we have said before, so say I now again, if any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.

10.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

11.

For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.

For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews` religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it:

and I advanced in the Jews` religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother`s womb, and called me through his grace,

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:

neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord`s brother.

Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

Then I came unto the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;

and they glorified God in me.

1.

Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

2.

and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

3.

Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

4.

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:

5.

to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

6.

I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;

7.

which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.

9.

As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.

10.

For am I now persuading men, or God? or am I seeking to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

11.

For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.

For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havock of it:

and I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havock;

and they glorified God in me.

1.

Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead,

2.

and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.

3.

Grace to you, and peace, from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

4.

who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;

5.

to whom be glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

6.

I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ`s grace, to a different gospel,

7.

which is not another one; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.

8.

But if even *we* or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you anything besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.

9.

As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings anything besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.

10.

For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ`s bondman.

11.

But I let you know, brethren, as to the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.

For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught them, but by revelation of Jesus Christ.

For ye have heard what was my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;

and advanced in Judaism beyond many my contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.

But when God, who set me apart even from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,

nor went I up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;

but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.

Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.

Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which are in Christ;

only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:

and they glorified God in me.

1.

Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

2.

and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

3.

Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

4.

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father --

5.

to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

6.

I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel;

7.

and there isn't another gospel. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

8.

But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

9.

As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any gospel other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

10.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn`t be a servant of Christ.

11.

But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.

I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother`s womb, and called me through his grace,

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn't immediately confer with flesh and blood,

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.

Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I'm not lying.

Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."

They glorified God in me.

1.

Paul, an apostle, (not from men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

2.

And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

3.

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

4.

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.

To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

6.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel:

7.

Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

9.

As we said before, so I say now again, If any man preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

10.

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.

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it;

And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Neither did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

But I saw no other of the apostles, save James the Lord's brother.

Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.

Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

And was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ:

But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

And they glorified God in me.

1.

Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

2.

And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

3.

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

4.

Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father:

5.

To whom be the glory for ever and ever. So be it.

6.

I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;

7.

Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

8.

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

9.

As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

10.

Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

11.

Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.

For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,

To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back to Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and was there with him fifteen days.

But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.

Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.

Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.

And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:

Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

And they gave glory to God in me.

1.

Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead --

2.

and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

3.

Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

4.

who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

5.

to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.

6.

I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

7.

that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

8.

but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

9.

as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive -- anathema let him be!

10.

for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please -- Christ`s servant I should not be.

11.

And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,

and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers` deliverances,

and when God was well pleased -- having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called me through His grace --

to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus,

then, after three years I went up to Jerusalem to enquire about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days,

and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord.

And the things that I write to you, lo, before God -- I lie not;

then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,

and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that are in Christ,

and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;`

and they were glorifying God in me.

1.

Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,

2.

And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.

3.

Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

4.

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father:

5.

To whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.

6.

I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.

7.

Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.

9.

As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.

10.

For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

11.

For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For you 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.

And I made progress in the Jews' religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood.

Neither went I to Jerusalem, to the apostles who were before me: but I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus.

Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem, to see Peter, and I tarried with him fifteen days.

But other of the apostles I saw none, saving James the brother of the Lord.

Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.

Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ:

But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past, doth now preach the faith which once he impugned:

And they glorified God in me.

1.

The word of Jehovah that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

2.

When Jehovah spake at the first by Hosea, Jehovah said unto Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom; for the land doth commit great whoredom, departing from Jehovah.

3.

So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bare him a son.

4.

And Jehovah said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

5.

And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

6.

And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And Jehovah said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them.

7.

But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.

8.

Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.

9.

And Jehovah said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

10.

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

11.

And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

1.

The word of Jehovah that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

2.

When Jehovah spake at the first by Hosea, Jehovah said unto Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom; for the land doth commit great whoredom, departing from Jehovah.

3.

So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bare him a son.

4.

And Jehovah said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

5.

And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

6.

And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And Jehovah said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them.

7.

But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.

8.

Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.

9.

And Jehovah said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

10.

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

11.

And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

Paulus apostolus non ab hominibus neque per hominem sed per Iesum Christum et Deum Patrem qui suscitavit eum a mortuis

2.

et qui mecum sunt omnes fratres ecclesiis Galatiae

3.

gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre et Domino nostro Iesu Christo

4.

qui dedit semet ipsum pro peccatis nostris ut eriperet nos de praesenti saeculo nequam secundum voluntatem Dei et Patris nostri

5.

cui est gloria in saecula saeculorum amen

6.

miror quod sic tam cito transferimini ab eo qui vos vocavit in gratiam Christi in aliud evangelium

7.

quod non est aliud nisi sunt aliqui qui vos conturbant et volunt convertere evangelium Christi

8.

sed licet nos aut angelus de caelo evangelizet vobis praeterquam quod evangelizavimus vobis anathema sit

9.

sicut praediximus et nunc iterum dico si quis vobis evangelizaverit praeter id quod accepistis anathema sit

10.

modo enim hominibus suadeo aut Deo aut quaero hominibus placere si adhuc hominibus placerem Christi servus non essem

11.

notum enim vobis facio fratres evangelium quod evangelizatum est a me quia non est secundum hominem

neque enim ego ab homine accepi illud neque didici sed per revelationem Iesu Christi

audistis enim conversationem meam aliquando in iudaismo quoniam supra modum persequebar ecclesiam Dei et expugnabam illam

et proficiebam in iudaismo supra multos coetaneos in genere meo abundantius aemulator existens paternarum mearum traditionum

cum autem placuit ei qui me segregavit de utero matris meae et vocavit per gratiam suam

ut revelaret Filium suum in me ut evangelizarem illum in gentibus continuo non adquievi carni et sanguini

neque veni Hierosolyma ad antecessores meos apostolos sed abii in Arabiam et iterum reversus sum Damascum

deinde post annos tres veni Hierosolyma videre Petrum et mansi apud eum diebus quindecim

alium autem apostolorum vidi neminem nisi Iacobum fratrem Domini

quae autem scribo vobis ecce coram Deo quia non mentior

deinde veni in partes Syriae et Ciliciae

eram autem ignotus facie ecclesiis Iudaeae quae erant in Christo

tantum autem auditum habebant quoniam qui persequebatur nos aliquando nunc evangelizat fidem quam aliquando expugnabat

et in me clarificabant Deum
