Rotherham - Galatians - 1

1:1  Paul, an apostle,—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead,

1:2  And all the brethren with me;—unto the assemblies of Galatia:

1:3  Favour unto you and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ,—

1:4  Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,—

1:5  Unto whom be the glory unto the ages of ages: Amen!

1:6  I marvel that, thus quickly, ye are moving away from him that called you in the favour of Christ, unto a different glad-message,—

1:7  Which is not, another, only there are, some, that are troubling you, and wishing to change the glad-message of the Christ.

1:8  But, even if, we, or, a messenger out of heaven, announce a glad-message [unto you] aside from that which we announced unto you, accursed, let him be!

1:9  As we have said before, even now, again, I say: If anyone is announcing unto you a glad-message aside from that which ye accepted, accursed, let him be!

1:10  For am I, even now, persuading, men, or God? Or am I seeking to please, men? If I had been still pleasing, men, Christ’s servant, had I not been!

1:11  For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;

1:12  For neither, from man, did I accept it, nor was taught [it],—but through a revealing of Jesus Christ.

1:13  For ye have heard, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,

1:14  And was making advancement, in Judaism, above many contemporaries in my nation, being, surpassingly zealous, of my paternal instructions.

1:15  But, when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me through his favour, was well-pleased

1:16  to reveal his Son in me, that I might announce the glad-message regarding him among the nations, straightway, I conferred not with flesh and blood,

1:17  Neither went I up unto Jerusalem unto them who, before me, were apostles,—but I went away into Arabia, and again returned unto Damascus.

1:18  Then, after three years, went I up unto Jerusalem, to become acquainted with Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days;

1:19  But, other of the apostles, saw I none, save James the brother of the Lord:—

1:20  Now, as touching the things which I am writing to you, lo! before God, I am not guilty of falsehood:—

1:21  After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,

1:22  And was still unknown, by face, unto the assemblies of Judaea which were in Christ,—

1:23  Only they were hearing—He that was persecuting us formerly, now, is announcing the glad-message of the faith which he formerly laid waste;

1:24  And they were glorifying, God, in me.
