Galatians 1

1Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),

παυλος, αποστολος ουκ απ ανθρωπων, ουδε δι ανθρωπου, αλλα δια ιησου χριστου και θεου πατρος του εγειραντος αυτον εκ νεκρων,

2and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:

και οι συν εμοι παντες αδελφοι, ταις εκκλησιαις της γαλατιας·

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

χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου,

4who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

του δοντος εαυτον υπερ των αμαρτιων ημων, οπως εξεληται ημας εκ του ενεστωτος αιωνος πονηρου κατα το θελημα του θεου και πατρος ημων,

5to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων· αμην.

6I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,

θαυμαζω οτι ουτως ταχεως μετατιθεσθε απο του καλεσαντος υμας εν χαριτι χριστου εις ετερον ευαγγελιον,

7which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

ο ουκ εστιν αλλο, ει μη τινες εισιν οι ταρασσοντες υμας και θελοντες μεταστρεψαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου.

8But 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.

αλλα και εαν ημεις η αγγελος εξ ουρανου ευαγγελιζηται υμιν παρ ο ευηγγελισαμεθα υμιν, αναθεμα εστω.

9As 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.

ως προειρηκαμεν, και αρτι παλιν λεγω· ει τις υμας ευαγγελιζεται παρ ο παρελαβετε, αναθεμα εστω.

10For 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.

αρτι γαρ ανθρωπους πειθω η τον θεον; η ζητω ανθρωποις αρεσκειν; ει γαρ ετι ανθρωποις ηρεσκον, χριστου δουλος ουκ αν ημην.

11But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

γνωριζω δε υμιν, αδελφοι, το ευαγγελιον το ευαγγελισθεν υπ εμου οτι ουκ εστιν κατα ανθρωπον·

12For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

ουδε γαρ εγω παρα ανθρωπου παρελαβον αυτο ουτε εδιδαχθην, αλλα δι αποκαλυψεως ιησου χριστου.

13For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.

ηκουσατε γαρ την εμην αναστροφην ποτε εν τω ιουδαισμω, οτι καθ υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του θεου και επορθουν αυτην,

14And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

και προεκοπτον εν τω ιουδαισμω υπερ πολλους συνηλικιωτας εν τω γενει μου, περισσοτερως ζηλωτης υπαρχων των πατρικων μου παραδοσεων.

15But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,

οτε δε ευδοκησεν ο θεος ο αφορισας με εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και καλεσας δια της χαριτος αυτου

16to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,

αποκαλυψαι τον υιον αυτου εν εμοι, ινα ευαγγελιζωμαι αυτον εν τοις εθνεσιν, ευθεως ου προσανεθεμην σαρκι και αιματι,

17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

ουδε ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα προς τους προ εμου αποστολους, αλλα απηλθον εις αραβιαν, και παλιν υπεστρεψα εις δαμασκον.

18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.

επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανηλθον εις ιεροσολυμα ιστορησαι πετρον, και επεμεινα προς αυτον ημερας δεκαπεντε·

19But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

ετερον δε των αποστολων ουκ ειδον ει μη ιακωβον τον αδελφον του κυριου.

20(Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)

α δε γραφω υμιν, ιδου ενωπιον του θεου οτι ου ψευδομαι.

21Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

επειτα ηλθον εις τα κλιματα της συριας και της κιλικιας.

22And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.

ημην δε αγνοουμενος τω προσωπω ταις εκκλησιαις της ιουδαιας ταις εν χριστω·

23But they were hearing only, 'He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.'

μονον δε ακουοντες ησαν οτι ο διωκων ημας ποτε νυν ευαγγελιζεται την πιστιν ην ποτε επορθει,

24And they glorified God in me.

και εδοξαζον εν εμοι τον θεον.
