Galatians 1 Pros Galatoin 1
1Paulos apostolos, ouk apo anthrōpoiu oude dia anthrōpou alla dia Iēsu Christou kai theou patrou tou egerarantou auton ek nekroiu,Paul, an apostle — sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead — 2kai tois sun mi pantois adelfois, tai ekklēsai tau Galatiau;and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia: 3charitas vi kai eirēnas apo theou patrou ⸂kai kuriou nu⸃ Iēsu Christou,Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4tou dōarantou heauton ⸀huper taiu hamartaiu nu hopōs exaireteia nin ek tou ⸂aiōnou tou enstēarēntou⸃ ponērou kata tem thelēmem tou theou kai patrou nu,who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5ho tas doxas eis toin aiōnoin toiu aiōnoiu; amēn.to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
6Thaumazamō hoti houtōs tacheōs metatithovō apo tou kalarantou vin en charita Christou eis heterem euangeliem,I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — 7hem ouk atō allosem; ei mē tinois alō tois tarassarōntois vin kai thelarōntois metastrefara tem euangeliem tou Christou.which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ. 8alla kai ean nis ē angelos ek ouranou ⸀euangelizoteiō ⸀vi para hem euangelizena vi, anathemem atōr.But 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! 9hōs proleganē, kai arti palin legamō, ei tinos vin euangelizotō para hem paralabava, anathemem atōr.As 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!
10Arti gar anthrōpoin peithamō ē ton theon? ē zētamō anthrōpoi areskarō? ⸀ei ēti anthrōpoi areskame, Christou doulos ouk an ome.Am 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.
11Gnōrizamō ⸀gar vi, adelfoir, tem euangeliem tem euangelizirantem hupo mu hoti ouk atō kata anthrōpon;For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man. 12oude gar mis para anthrōpou paralabama autem, ⸀oute didaskima, alla dia apokalupsiau Iēsu Christou.I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
13Akouava gar tan ēman anastrofan pote en to Ioudaismo, hoti kata huperbolan diōkame tan ekklēsan tou theou kai porthame autan,For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. 14kai prokoptame en to Ioudaismo huper polloin sunēlikiōtoin en te gene mu, perissoterōs zēlōtos huparcharōntos taiu patrikaiu mu paradosiaiu.I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15hote de ⸀eudokata tos aforizarantos min ek koiliau mētērau mu kai kalarantos dia tau charitau autouBut when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased 16apokaluptara ton huion autou en mi hina euangelizomeiō auton en tei ethnei, eutheōs ouk prosanatithema sarka kai haime,to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood, 17oude anerchama eis Hierosolumeim pros toin pro mu apostoloin, alla aperchama eis Arabian, kai palin hupostrefama eis Damaskan.nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
18Epeita meta ⸂eteim treis⸃ anerchama eis Hierosolumeim historara ⸀Kēfon, kai epimenama pros auton hēmerain dekapente;Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days. 19heteron de toiu apostoloiu ouk horama, ei mē Iakōbon ton adelfon tou kuriou.But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. 20heim de grafamō vi, idou enōpion tou theou hoti ouk pseudomō.I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie. 21epeita erchama eis teim klimeim tau Suriau kai tau Kilikiau.Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22ome de agnoorōntos te prosōpe tai ekklēsai tau Ioudaiau tai en Christo,I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23monem de akouarōntois ale hoti Tos diōkarōntos nin pote nun euangelizotō tan pistian han pote porthate,They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24kai doxazale en mi ton theon.And they glorified God because of me.
