¹ Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him up from the dead),

² and all the brethren who are together-with me, to the congregations$ of Galatia:

³ grace to you° and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴ who gave himself concerning our sins, $that he might liberate us out-of the present evil age, according-to the will of our God and Father,

⁵ in which is the glory, forevermore. Amen.

⁶ I marvel that you° are so quickly transferring yourselves from the one who called you° by the favor of Christ to a different good-news;

⁷ which is not another good-news, except now there are some, the ones disturbing you° and wishing to pervert the good-news of the Christ.

⁸ But even if we or a messenger from heaven, should proclaim to you° any good-news contrary to what we ourselves proclaimed to you°, let him be accursed.

⁹ As we have said before, and so now I am saying again, if anyone proclaims to you° any good-news contrary to what you° received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰ For$ am I now persuading men or God? Or am I seeking to please men? For$ if I was still pleasing men, I myself would not be a bondservant of Christ.

¹¹ But I am making known to you°, brethren, the good-news which was proclaimed by me, It is not according-to man.

¹² For$ I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³ For$ you° have heard previously of my conduct in Judaism, how that I was surpassingly persecuting the congregation$ of believers of God and was making havoc of her;

¹⁴ and how I was progressing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own race, being$ even-more zealous of the ancestral traditions.

¹⁵ But when God was delighted, he separated$ me from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, in-order-that I may proclaim the good-news of him among the nations. Immediately, I did not consult with flesh and blood,

¹⁷ nor did I go up into Jerusalem to the ones who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and I returned again into Damascus.

¹⁸ Thereafter, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to make the acquaintance of Peter and remained with him fifteen days. {Fall 39 AD.}

¹⁹ But I did not see any other of the apostles, except James the Lord’s brother.

²⁰ Now what I am writing to you°, behold, in God’s sight that I am not lying.

²¹ Thereafter I came to the districts of Syria and Cilicia.

²² But I was still unrecognized by face to the congregations$ of Judea, which are in Christ;

²³ but they were only hearing that, The one previously persecuting us is now proclaiming the good-news of the faith of which he was previously making havoc.

²⁴ And they were glorifying God with$ me.
