13[14] THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE LOVE <THE> OF GOD AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT [BE] WITH ALL OF YOU AMEN TO CORINTHIANS SECOND IT WAS WRITTEN FROM PHILIPPI <THE> OF MACEDONIA THROUGH OF TITUS AND LUKE. 13All the saints send you greetings.
1PAUL AN APOSTLE NOT FROM MEN NOR THROUGH MAN BUT THROUGH JESUS CHRIST AND GOD [THE] FATHER THE [ONE WHO] HAVING RAISED HIM OUT FROM [THE] DEAD — Paul’s Greeting to the Galatians 1Paul, an apostle— sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
2AND THE WITH ME MYSELF ALL BROTHERS TO THE CHURCHES <THE> OF GALATIA: 2and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
3GRACE TO YOU AND PEACE FROM GOD FATHER OF US AND OF [THE] LORD JESUS CHRIST, 3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,*NoteCloseSBL, BYZ, and TR God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ
4THE [ONE WHO] HAVING GIVEN HIMSELF FOR THE SINS OF US, SO THAT HE MAY DELIVER US OUT OF THE AGE OF WHICH HAVING COME PRESENTLY EVIL ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF THE GOD AND FATHER OF US, 4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
6I AM ASTONISHED THAT SO SOON YOU ARE DESERTING FROM THE [ONE WHO] HAVING CALLED YOU IN [THE] GRACE OF CHRIST TO A DIFFERENT GOSPEL No Other Gospel 6I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
7WHICH NOT IS ANOTHER, ONLY EXCEPT SOME THERE ARE WHO ARE TROUBLING YOU AND ARE DESIRING TO PERVERT THE GOSPEL <THE> OF CHRIST. 7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
8BUT EVEN IF WE OURSELVES OR AN ANGEL OUT OF HEAVEN SHALL EVANGELISE TO YOU CONTRARY TO WHAT WE EVANGELISED TO YOU, ACCURSED HE SHOULD BE. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!
9AS WE HAVE SAID BEFORE, EVEN NOW AGAIN I SAY, IF ANYONE [TO] YOU IS EVANGELISING CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU RECEIVED, ACCURSED HE SHOULD BE. 9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!
10PRESENTLY FOR OF MEN DO I SEEK APPROVAL OR <THE> GOD? OR DO I SEEK MEN TO PLEASE? IF FOR YET MEN I WERE PLEASING, OF CHRIST A SERVANT NOT THEN WOULD I WAS BEING. Paul Preaches the Gospel 10Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11I MAKE KNOWN FOR TO YOU, BROTHERS, THE GOSPEL WHICH HAVING BEEN EVANGELISED BY ME THAT NOT IT IS ACCORDING TO MAN; 11For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.*NoteCloseLiterally not according to man
12NEITHER FOR I MYSELF FROM MAN RECEIVED IT NOR WAS I TAUGHT [IT] BUT THROUGH A REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. 12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
13YOU HAVE HEARD OF FOR <THE> MY WAY OF LIFE FORMER IN <THE> JUDAISM THAT BEYOND EXCEEDING MEASURE I WAS PERSECUTING THE CHURCH <THE> OF GOD AND WAS DESTROYING IT; 13For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
14AND I WAS ADVANCING IN <THE> JUDAISM BEYOND MANY CONTEMPORARIES IN THE COUNTRYMEN OF MINE MORE ABUNDANTLY ZEALOUS BEING OF THE FATHERS OF MINE TRADITIONS. 14I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15WHEN HOWEVER WAS PLEASED <THE> GOD THE [ONE] HAVING SELECTED ME FROM [THE] WOMB OF MOTHER OF MINE AND HAVING CALLED [ME] THROUGH THE GRACE OF HIM 15But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
16TO REVEAL THE SON OF HIM IN ME MYSELF, THAT I MAY EVANGELISE HIM AMONG THE GENTILES, IMMEDIATELY NOT I CONSULTED WITH FLESH AND WITH BLOOD, 16to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,
17NOR DID I GO UP TO JERUSALEM TO THE BEFORE ME APOSTLES, BUT I WENT AWAY INTO ARABIA AND AGAIN RETURNED TO DAMASCUS. 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
18THEN AFTER YEARS THREE I WENT UP TO JERUSALEM TO MAKE ACQUAINTANCE WITH CEPHAS AND I REMAINED WITH HIM DAYS FIFTEEN; 18Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas,*NoteCloseThat is, Peter and I stayed with him fifteen days.
19OTHER HOWEVER OF THE APOSTLES NONE I SAW, ONLY EXCEPT JAMES THE BROTHER OF THE LORD. 19But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
20IN WHAT NOW I WRITE TO YOU, BEHOLD BEFORE <THE> GOD THAT NOT I LIE. 20I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
21THEN I WENT INTO THE REGIONS <THE> OF SYRIA AND <THE> CILICIA; 21Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22I WAS THEN UNKNOWN <THE> BY FACE TO THE CHURCHES <THE> OF JUDEA THAT [ARE] IN CHRIST, 22I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
23ONLY HOWEVER HEARING THEY WERE THAT THE [ONE] PERSECUTING US FORMERLY NOW IS EVANGELISING THE FAITH WHICH ONCE HE WAS DESTROYING; 23They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy. ”
