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 brethren who are with me, to 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 age, according to the will of our God and Father,5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you into the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you, even determined to pervert the gospel of Christ.8 But even if we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but by a revelation of Jesus Christ.13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mothers womb and called me through His grace,16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood,17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to inquire of Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.19 But I saw none of the other apostles except Jacob, the Lords brother.20 (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)21 Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.22 And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.23 But they were hearing only, He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.24 And they glorified God in me.
1 Poul the apostle, not of men, ne bi man, but bi Jhesu Crist, and God the fadir,2 that reiside hym fro deth, and alle the britheren that ben with me, to the chirchis of Galathie,3 grace to you and pees of God the fadir, and of the Lord Jhesu Crist,4 that yaf hym silf for oure synnes, to delyuere vs fro the present wickid world, bi the wille of God and of oure fadir,5 to whom is worschip and glorie in to worldis of worldis. Amen.6 I wondur, that so soone ye be thus moued fro hym that clepid you in to the grace of Crist, in to another euangelie; which is not anothir,7 but that ther ben summe that troublen you, and wolen mysturne the euangelie of Crist.8 But thouy we, or an aungel of heuene, prechide to you, bisidis that that we han prechid to you, be he acursid.9 As Y haue seid bifore, and now eftsoones Y seie, if ony preche to you bisidis that that ye han vndurfongun, be he cursid.10 For now whether counsele Y men, or God? or whether Y seche to plese men? If Y pleside yit men, Y were not Cristis seruaunt.11 For, britheren, Y make knowun to you the euangelie, that was prechid of me, for it is not bi man;12 ne Y took it of man, ne lernyde, but bi reuelacioun of Jhesu Crist.13 For ye han herd my conuersacioun sumtyme in the Jurie, and that Y pursuede passyngli the chirche of God, and fauyt ayen it.14 And Y profitide in the Jurie aboue many of myn eueneldis in my kynrede, and was more aboundauntli a folewere of my fadris tradiciouns.15 But whanne it pleside hym, that departide me fro my modir wombe,16 and clepide bi his grace, to schewe his sone in me, that Y schulde preche hym among the hethene, anoon Y drowy me not to fleisch and blood; ne Y cam to Jerusalem to the apostlis,17 that weren tofor me, but Y wente in to Arabie, and eftsoones Y turnede ayen in to Damask.18 And sith thre yeer aftir Y cam to Jerusalem, to se Petre, and Y dwellide with hym fiftene daies;19 but Y sawy noon othere of the apostlis, but James, oure Lordis brother.20 And these thingis which Y write to you, lo! tofor God Y lie not.21 Afterward Y cam in to the coostis of Syrie and Cilicie.22 But Y was vnknowun bi face to the chirchis of Judee, that weren in Crist; and thei hadden oonli an heryng,23 that he that pursuede vs sum tyme, prechide now the feith, ayens which he fauyte sum tyme;24 and in me thei glorifieden God.
