1 P aul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

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

2 a nd all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

and all the brethren who are with me, unto the congregations of Galatia:

3 G race to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

4 w ho 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—

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

5 t o whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

unto whom be the glory for the ages of the ages. Amen.

6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”;

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

7 a nd there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

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

8 B ut even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be anathema.

9 A s we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

As we said before, so do I say now again, If anyone preaches any other gospel unto you than what ye have received, let him be anathema.

10 F or 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.

¶ 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 slave of Christ.

11 B ut I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

But I make known unto you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not according to man.

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

For I did not receive it nor learn it from man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

13 F or 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.

For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in Judaism, how that beyond measure I was persecuting and destroying the congregation of God

14 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.

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

15 B ut when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,

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

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

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

17 n or did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus.

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

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

19 B ut of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord’s brother.

But I saw none of the other apostles, except James the Lord’s brother.

20 N ow about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

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

21 T hen I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia

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

and was unknown by face unto the congregations of Judaea which were in Christ,

23 b ut they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”

but they had only heard, That he who persecuted us in time past now preaches the faith which he once destroyed.

24 A nd they glorified God in me.

And they glorified God in me.
