Sha'ul's Letter to the Galatians, Chapter 1
{1:1} Sha'ul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but
through Yeshua the Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from
the dead), {1:2} and all the brothers who are with me, to the
assemblies of Galatia: {1:3} Grace to you and shalom from God the
Father, and our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, {1:4} 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--{1:5} to whom be the
glory forever and ever. Amein.
{1:6} I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you
in the grace of Messiah to a different Good News; {1:7} and there
isn't another Good News. Only there are some who trouble you, and want
to pervert the Good News of Messiah. {1:8} But even though we, or an
angel from heaven, should preach to you any Good News other than that
which we preached to you, let him be cursed. {1:9} As we have said
before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any Good News
other than that which you received, let him be cursed. {1:10} For am I
now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please
men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of
Messiah. {1:11} But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good
News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man. {1:12}
For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it
came to me through revelation of Yeshua the Messiah. {1:13} For you
have heard of my way of living in time past in the Yehudim' religion,
how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged
it. {1:14} I advanced in the Yehudim' religion beyond many of my own
age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the
traditions of my fathers. {1:15} But when it was the good pleasure of
God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me through his
grace, {1:16} to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among
the Goyim, I didn't immediately confer with flesh and blood, {1:17}
nor did I go up to Yerushalayim to those who were apostles before me,
but I went away into `Arav. Then I returned to Dammesek. {1:18} Then
after three years I went up to Yerushalayim to visit Rock, and stayed
with him fifteen days. {1:19} But of the other apostles I saw no one,
except Ya`akov, the Lord's brother. {1:20} Now about the things which
I write to you, behold, before God, I'm not lying. {1:21} Then I came
to the regions of Aram and Cilicia. {1:22} I was still unknown by face
to the assemblies of Yehudah which were in Messiah, {1:23} but they
only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he
once tried to destroy." {1:24} And they glorified God in me.
