[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 brothers§ who are with me, to the assemblies 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 so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”, [7] but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ. [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. [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. [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 Christ. [11] But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man. [12] For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ. [13] For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it. [14] I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. [15] But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace, [16] to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood, [17] nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus. [18] Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days. [19] But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother. [20] Now about the things which I write to you, behold,§ before God, I’m not lying. [21] Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. [22] I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ, [23] but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.” [24] So they glorified God in me.
Footnotes
- “Christ” means “Anointed One”.
- The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”
- “Behold”, from “ἰδοὺ”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.

[1] Paul,G3972 an apostle,G652 (notG3756 ofG575 men,G444 neitherG3761 byG1223 man,G444 butG235 byG1223 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 andG2532 GodG2316 the Father,G3962 whoG3588 raisedG1453(AorActPtc) himG846 fromG1537 the dead;G3498) [2] AndG2532 allG3956 the brethrenG80 which are withG4862 me,G1698 unto the churchesG1577 of Galatia:G1053 [3] GraceG5485 [be] to youG5213 andG2532 peaceG1515 fromG575 GodG2316 the Father,G3962 andG2532 [from] ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 [4] WhoG3588 gaveG1325(Aor2ActPtc) himselfG1438 forG5228 ourG2257 sins,G266 thatG3704 he might deliverG1807(Aor2MidSubj) usG2248 fromG1537 this presentG1764(PerfActPtc) evilG4190 world,G165 accordingG2596 to the willG2307 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 Father:G3962 [5] To whomG3739 [be] gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165 and ever.G165 Amen.G281 [6] I marvelG2296(PresActInd) thatG3754 ye areG3346 soG3779 soonG5030 removedG3346(PresMidPasInd) fromG575 him that calledG2564(AorActPtc) youG5209 intoG1722 the graceG5485 of ChristG5547 untoG1519 anotherG2087 gospel:G2098 [7] WhichG3739 isG2076(PresInd) notG3756 another;G243 but there beG1526(PresInd) someG5100 thatG1508 troubleG5015(PresActPtc) you,G5209 andG2532 wouldG2309(PresActPtc) pervertG3344(AorActInf) the gospelG2098 of Christ.G5547 [8] ButG235 thoughG2532 we,G2249 orG2228 an angelG32 fromG1537 heaven,G3772 preach any other gospelG2097(PresMidSubj) unto youG5213 thanG3844 that whichG3739 we have preachedG2097(AorMidInd) unto you,G5213 let him beG2077(PresImpr) accursed.G331 [9] AsG5613 we said before,G4280(PerfActInd) soG2532 say IG3004(PresActInd) nowG737 again,G3825 If anyG1536 [man] preachG2097 any otherG3844 gospelG2097(PresMidInd) unto youG5209 thanG3844 thatG3739 ye have received,G3880(Aor2ActInd) let him beG2077(PresImpr) accursed.G331 [10] ForG1063 do IG3982 nowG737 persuadeG3982(PresActInd) men,G444 orG2228 God?G2316 orG2228 do I seekG2212(PresActInd) to pleaseG700(PresActInf) men?G444 forG1063 ifG1487 IG700 yetG2089 pleasedG700(ImpfActInd) men,G444 I shouldG302 notG3756 beG2252(ImpfInd) the servantG1401 of Christ.G5547 [11] ButG1161 I certifyG1107(PresActInd) you,G5213 brethren,G80 thatG3754 the gospelG2098 whichG3588 was preachedG2097(AorPasPtc) ofG5259 meG1700 isG2076(PresInd) notG3756 afterG2596 man.G444 [12] ForG1063 IG1473 neitherG3761 receivedG3880(Aor2ActInd) itG846 ofG3844 man,G444 neitherG3777 was I taughtG1321(AorPasInd) [it], butG235 byG1223 the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 Christ.G5547 [13] ForG1063 ye have heardG191(AorActInd) of myG1699 conversationG391 in time pastG4218 inG1722 the Jews’ religion,G2454 how thatG3754 beyondG2596 measureG5236 I persecutedG1377(ImpfActInd) the churchG1577 of God,G2316 andG2532 wastedG4199(ImpfActInd) it:G846 [14] AndG2532 profitedG4298(ImpfActInd) inG1722 the Jews’ religionG2454 aboveG5228 manyG4183 my equalsG4915 inG1722 mine ownG3450 nation,G1085 beingG5225(PresActPtc) more exceedinglyG4056 zealousG2207 of the traditionsG3862 of myG3450 fathers.G3967 [15] ButG1161 whenG3753 it pleasedG2106(AorActInd) God,G2316 whoG3588 separatedG873(AorActPtc) meG3165 fromG1537 myG3450 mother’sG3384 womb,G2836 andG2532 calledG2564(AorActPtc) [me] byG1223 hisG846 grace,G5485 [16] To revealG601(AorActInf) hisG846 SonG5207 inG1722 me,G1698 thatG2443 I might preachG2097(PresMidSubj) himG846 amongG1722 the heathen;G1484 immediatelyG2112 I conferredG4323(Aor2MidInd) notG3756 with fleshG4561 andG2532 blood:G129 [17] NeitherG3761 went I upG424(Aor2ActInd) toG1519 JerusalemG2414 toG4314 them which were apostlesG652 beforeG4253 me;G1700 butG235 I wentG565(Aor2ActInd) intoG1519 Arabia,G688 andG2532 returnedG5290(AorActInd) againG3825 untoG1519 Damascus.G1154 [18] ThenG1899 afterG3326 threeG5140 yearsG2094 I went upG424(Aor2ActInd) toG1519 JerusalemG2414 to seeG2477(AorActInf) Peter,G4074 andG2532 abodeG1961(AorActInd) withG4314 himG846 fifteenG1178 days.G2250 [19] ButG1161 otherG2087 of the apostlesG652 saw IG1492(Aor2ActInd) none,G3756 saveG1508 JamesG2385 the Lord’sG2962 brother.G80 [20] NowG1161 the things whichG3739 I writeG1125(PresActInd) unto you,G5213 behold,G2400(Aor2ActImpr) beforeG1799 God,G2316 I lieG5574(PresMidPasDepInd) not.G3756 [21] AfterwardsG1899 I cameG2064(Aor2ActInd) intoG1519 the regionsG2824 of SyriaG4947 andG2532 Cilicia;G2791 [22] AndG1161 wasG2252(ImpfInd) unknownG50(PresPasPtc) by faceG4383 unto the churchesG1577 of JudaeaG2449 whichG3588 were inG1722 Christ:G5547 [23] ButG1161 they hadG2258(ImpfInd) heardG191(PresActPtc) only,G3440 ThatG3754 he which persecutedG1377(PresActPtc) usG2248 in times pastG4218 nowG3568 preachethG2097(PresMidInd) the faithG4102 whichG3739 onceG4218 he destroyed.G4199(ImpfActInd) [24] AndG2532 they glorifiedG1392(ImpfActInd) GodG2316 inG1722 me.G1698
