YLT - Galatians - 1

1:1  Paul, an apostle--not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead--

1:2  and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

1:3  Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

1:4  who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

1:5  to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.

1:6  I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

1:7  that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

1:8  but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you--anathema let him be!

1:9  as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive--anathema let him be!

1:10  for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please--Christ's servant I should not be.

1:11  And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

1:12  for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught it , but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

1:13  for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,

1:14  and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers' deliverances,

1:15  and when God was well pleased--having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called me through His grace--

1:16  to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

1:17  nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus,

1:18  then, after three years I went up to Jerusalem to enquire about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days,

1:19  and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord.

1:20  And the things that I write to you, lo, before God--I lie not;

1:21  then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,

1:22  and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that are in Christ,

1:23  and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news--the faith that then he was wasting;'

1:24  and they were glorifying God in me.
