Gal 1:1-24

NLT | Greek NT | Matchup | Interlinear | Reverse-Interlinear

1:1 This letter is from Paul , an apostle . I was not appointed by any group of people or any human authority , but by Jesus Christ himself and by God the Father , who raised Jesus from the dead . 2 All the brothers and sisters * here join me in sending this letter to the churches of Galatia . 3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ * give you grace and peace . 4 Jesus gave his life for our sins , just as God our Father planned , in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live . 5 All glory to God forever and ever ! Amen . 6 I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God , who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ . * You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News 7 but is not the Good News at all . You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ . 8 Let God’s curse fall on anyone , including us or even an angel from heaven , who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you . 9 I say again what we have said before : If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed , let that person be cursed . 10 Obviously , I’m not trying to win the approval of people , but of God . If pleasing people were my goal , I would not be Christ’s servant . 11 Dear brothers and sisters , I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning . 12 I received my message from no human source , and no one taught me . Instead , I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ . * 13 You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion — how I violently persecuted God’s church . I did my best to destroy it . 14 I was far ahead of my fellow Jews in my zeal for the traditions of my ancestors . 15 But even before I was born , God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace . Then it pleased him 16 to reveal his Son to me * so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles . When this happened , I did not rush out to consult with any human being . * 17 Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to consult with those who were apostles before I was . Instead , I went away into Arabia , and later I returned to the city of Damascus . 18 Then three years later I went to Jerusalem to get to know Peter , * and I stayed with him for fifteen days . 19 The only other apostle I met at that time was James , the Lord’s brother . 20 I declare before God that what I am writing to you is not a lie . 21 After that visit I went north into the provinces of Syria and Cilicia . 22 And still the Christians in the churches in Judea didn’t know me personally . 23 All they knew was that people were saying , “ The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy ! ” 24 And they praised God because of me .

1 Παῦλος , ἀπόστολος · οὐκ ἀπ᾽ ἀνθρώπων οὐδὲ δι᾽ ἀνθρώπου , ἀλλὰ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ πατρός , τοῦ ἐγείραντος αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν · 2 καὶ οἱ σὺν ἐμοὶ πάντες ἀδελφοὶ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας · 3 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ [ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ · ] 17 4 τοῦ δόντος ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν , ὅπως ἐξέληται ἡμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος πονηροῦ , κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς ἡμῶν · 5 ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων · ἀμήν . 6 θαυμάζω ὅτι οὕτως ταχέως μετατίθεσθε ἀπὸ τοῦ καλέσαντος ὑμᾶς , ἐν χάριτι [ Χριστοῦ · ] 18 εἰς ἕτερον εὐαγγέλιον 7 ὃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλο · εἰ μή τινές εἰσιν οἱ ταράσσοντες ὑμᾶς καὶ θέλοντες μεταστρέψαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ . 8 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἢ ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ , εὐαγγελίζηται ὑμῖν παρ᾽ ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα ὑμῖν , ἀνάθεμα ἔστω . 9 ὡς προειρήκαμεν καὶ ἄρτι πάλιν λέγω · εἴ τις ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελίζεται παρ᾽ ὃ παρελάβετε , ἀνάθεμα ἔστω . 10 ἄρτι γάρ , ἀνθρώπους πείθω ἢ τὸν θεόν ; ἢ ζητῶ ἀνθρώποις ἀρέσκειν ; -- εἰ ἔτι ἀνθρώποις ἤρεσκον , Χριστοῦ δοῦλος οὐκ ἂν ἤμην . 11 γνωρίζω γὰρ ὑμῖν ἀδελφοί , τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν ὑπ᾽ ἐμοῦ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν κατὰ ἄνθρωπον · 12 οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐγὼ παρὰ ἀνθρώπου παρέλαβον αὐτό , οὔτε ἐδιδάχθην · ἀλλά , δι᾽ ἀποκαλύψεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ . 13 ἠκούσατε γὰρ τὴν ἐμὴν ἀναστροφήν ποτε ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ -- ὅτι καθ᾽ ὑπερβολὴν ἐδίωκον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ θεοῦ · καὶ ἐπόρθουν αὐτήν . 14 καὶ προέκοπτον ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ ὑπὲρ πολλοὺς συνηλικιώτας ἐν τῷ γένει μου περισσοτέρως ζηλωτὴς ὑπάρχων τῶν πατρικῶν μου παραδόσεων . 15 ὅτε δὲ εὐδόκησεν ὁ θεός ( ὁ ἀφορίσας με ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου , καὶ καλέσας διὰ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ ) , 16 ἀποκαλύψαι τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἵνα εὐαγγελίζωμαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν . εὐθέως , οὐ προσανεθέμην σαρκὶ καὶ αἵματι · 17 οὐδὲ ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα πρὸς τοὺς πρὸ ἐμοῦ ἀποστόλους · ἀλλά , ἀπῆλθον εἰς Ἀραβίαν , καὶ πάλιν ὑπέστρεψα εἰς Δαμασκόν . 18 ἔπειτα μετὰ τρία ἔτη ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἱστορῆσαι Κηφᾶν , καὶ ἐπέμεινα πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡμέρας δεκαπέντε · 19 ἕτερον δὲ τῶν ἀποστόλων οὐκ εἶδον εἰ μὴ Ἰάκωβον , τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ κυρίου . 20 ἃ δὲ γράφω ὑμῖν ἰδοὺ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι . 21 ἔπειτα ἦλθον εἰς τὰ κλίματα τῆς Συρίας καὶ τῆς Κιλικίας . 22 ἤμην δὲ ἀγνοούμενος τῷ προσώπῳ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Ἰουδαίας ταῖς ἐν Χριστῷ . 23 μόνον δὲ ἀκούοντες ἦσαν ὅτι , Ὁ διώκων ἡμᾶς ποτὲ νῦν εὐαγγελίζεται τὴν πίστιν ἥν ποτε ἐπόρθει . 24 καὶ ἐδόξαζον ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸν θεόν .
