1 Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead),
2 and all the brothers 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 for our sins, so that he might rescue us, according to the will of our God and Father, out of the evil age that has come,
5 to whom is the glory into the ages of the ages. Truly.
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ to another good-news,
7 which is not another, except there are some who confuse you, and who want to pervert the good-news of the Christ.
8 But even if we, or an agent from heaven, should preach a good-news to you contrary to what we preached to you, let him be accursed.
9 As we have said before, I now also say again, if any man preaches a good-news to you contrary to what ye received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now trust men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I were still pleasing men I would not be a bondman of Christ.
11 For I make known to you, brothers, the good-news that was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it was through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye heard of my former behavior in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God to extraordinariness, and ravaged it.
14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries among my race, being a more extreme zealot of my paternal traditions.
15 But when it pleased God who separated me from my mother's belly, and called me through his grace,
16 to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not straightaway confer with flesh and blood,
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days.
19 But I did not see another of the apostles except James the Lord's brother.
20 Now what I write to you, behold before God, I do not lie.
21 Later I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 And I was unknown by face to the congregations of Judea in Christ,
23 but they were only hearing that the man who once persecuted us now preaches the good-news, the faith that he once ravaged.
24 And they glorified God in me.
1 Paul an Apostle not of men nether by man but by Iesus Christ and by God the father which raysed him from deeth:
2 and all the brethren which are with me. Vnto the congregacios of Galacia.
3 Grace be with you and peace from God the father and from oure Lorde Iesus Christ
4 which gave him selfe for oure synnes to deliver vs from this present evyll worlde thorow the will of God oure father
5 to whom be prayse for ever and ever. Amen.
6 I marvayle that ye are so sone turned fro him that called you in the grace of Christ vnto another gospell:
7 which is nothinge els but that ther be some which trouble you and intende to pervert to gospell of Christ.
8 Neverthelesse though we oure selves or an angell fro heve preache eny other gospell vnto you the that which we have preached vnto you holde him as a cursed.
9 As I sayde before so saye I now agayne yf eny man preache eny other thinge vnto you then that ye have receaved holde him accursed.
10 Preache I mannes doctrine or Godes? Ether go I about to please men? If I stodyed to please men I were not the servaunt of Christ.
11 I certifie you brethren that the gospell which was preached of me was not after the maner of men
12 nether receaved I it of ma nether was I taught it: but receaved it by the revelacion of Iesus Christ.
13 For ye have hearde of my conversacion in tyme past in the Iewes wayes how that beyonde measure I persecuted the congregacion of God and spoyled it:
14 and prevayled in the Iewes laye above many of my companions which were of myne awne nacio and was a moche more fervet mayntener of the tradicions of the elders.
15 But whe it pleased God which seperated me from my mothers wombe and called me by his grace
16 forto declare his sonne by me that I shuld preache him amonge the hethen: immediatly I comened not of the matter with flesshe and bloud
17 nether returned to Ierusalem to them which were Apostles before me: but wet my wayes into Arabia and came agayne vnto Damasco.
18 Then after thre yeare I returned to Ierusalem to se Peter and abode with him .xv. dayes
19 no nother of the Apostles sawe I save Iames the Lordes brother.
20 The thinges which I write beholde God knoweth I lye not.
21 After that I went into the costes of Siria and Cilicia:
22 and was vnknowen as touchinge my person vnto ye cogregacios of Iewrye which were in Christ.
23 But they hearde only that he which persecuted vs in tyme past now preacheth the fayth which before he destroyed.
24 And they glorified God on my behalffe.
