| 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, |
| 12 | for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ, |
| 13 | for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it, |
| 14 | and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers` deliverances, |
| 15 | and when God was well pleased -- having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called [me] through His grace -- |
| 16 | to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood, |
| 17 | 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, |
| 18 | then, after three years I went up to Jerusalem to enquire about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days, |
| 19 | and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord. |
| 20 | And the things that I write to you, lo, before God -- I lie not; |
| 21 | then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia, |
| 22 | and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that [are] in Christ, |
| 23 | and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;` |
| 24 | and they were glorifying God in me. |
