1 作使徒的保罗（不是由于人， 也不是借着人， 而是借着耶稣基督和那使他从死人中复活的父 神），

2 和所有与我在一起的弟兄， 写信给加拉太的众教会。

3 愿恩惠平安从我们的父 神和主耶稣基督临到你们。

4 基督照着我们父 神的旨意， 曾经为我们的罪舍己， 为的是要救我们脱离现在这邪恶的世代。

5 愿荣耀归给他， 直到永永远远。阿们。

6 我很惊奇， 你们这么快就离开了借着基督的恩呼召你们的那一位， 去归向别的福音。

7 其实那并不是另一个福音， 只是有些搅扰你们的人， 想把基督的福音改变了。

8 但无论是我们， 或是从天上来的使者， 如果传给你们的和我们以前传给你们的福音不同， 他就该受咒诅。

9 我们已经说过， 现在我要再说， 如果有人传给你们的和你们以前所领受的福音不同， 他就该受咒诅。

10 我现在是要得人的欢心， 还是要得 神的欢心呢？难道我想讨人欢喜吗？如果我仍然要讨人欢喜， 就不是基督的仆人了。

11 弟兄们， 我要你们知道， 我所传的福音， 并不是照着人的意思，

12 因为这福音我不是从人领受的， 也不是人教导我的， 而是借着耶稣基督的启示来的。

13 你们听过我从前在犹太教中所行的： 怎样极力逼迫残害 神的教会，

14 怎样在犹太教中比许多本族同辈的人更激进， 为我祖先的传统分外热心。

15 然而， 当我在母腹里就把我分别出来， 又用他的恩呼召我的那一位，

16 既然乐意把自己的儿子启示给我， 使我可以在外族人中传扬他， 我就没有和任何人（"人"直译"肉和血"）商量，

17 也没有上耶路撒冷见那些比我先作使徒的， 却去了阿拉伯， 然后再回到大马士革。

18 过了三年， 我才上耶路撒冷去见矶法， 和他住了十五天。

19 至于其余的使徒， 除了主的弟弟雅各以外， 我都没有见过。

20 在 神面前我敢说， 我写给你们的都不是谎话。

21 后来， 我到了叙利亚和基利家一带的地方。

22 那时， 在基督里的犹太众教会还没有见过我的面，

23 不过听说"那个从前迫害我们的， 现在竟然传扬他以前所残害的信仰"，

24 他们就因着我的缘故颂赞 神。

1 Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead), 2 and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: 5 to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

6 I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel; 7 which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema. 9 As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema. 10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

11 For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man. 12 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it: 14 and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace, 16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17 neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days. 19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother. 20 Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. 21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ: 23 but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc; 24 and they glorified God in me.
