Galatians 1

Galatians 1
1¶ Paul, apostle (not from men neither through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead)
2and all the brethren who are with me, unto the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of Galatia:
3Grace be unto you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4who gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
5unto whom be the glory for the ages of the ages. Amen.
6¶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel,
7for there is not another; but there are some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of the Christ.
8But 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.
9As 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¶ 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.
11But I make known unto you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not according to man.
12For I did not receive it nor learn it from man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in Judaism, how that beyond measure I was persecuting and destroying the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God
14And profited in Judaism above many of my equals in my own nation, being exceedingly more zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace,
16to reveal his Son in me that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood,
17neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus.
18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter and abode with him fifteen days.
19But I saw none of the other apostles, except James the Lord’s brother.
20Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
21Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia
22and was unknown by face unto the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of Judaea which were in Christ,
23but they had only heard, That he who persecuted us in time past now preaches the faith which he once destroyed.
24And they glorified God in me.

Galatians 1
1
1Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ,#1:1 “Christ” means “Anointed One”. and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— 2and all the brothers#1:2 The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia: 3Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4who 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— 5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
6I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”, 7but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ. 8But 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. 9As 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.
10For 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.
11But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man. 12For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ. 13For 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. 14I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace, 16to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood, 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days. 19But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother. 20Now about the things which I write to you, behold,#1:20 “Behold”, from “ἰδοὺ”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. before God, I’m not lying. 21Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ, 23but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.” 24So they glorified God in me.
