1:1 Paul, 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, to the assemblies of Galatia.
1:3 Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord
 Jesus Christ,
1:4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us
 out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God
 and Father;
1:5 to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
1:6 I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called
 you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
1:7 which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble
 you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
1:8 But if even *we* or an angel out of heaven announce as glad
 tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as
 glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
1:9 As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one
 announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have
 received, let him be accursed.
1:10 For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to
 please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's
 bondman.
1:11 But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings
 which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
1:12 For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I
 taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
1:13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in
 Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and
 ravaged it;
1:14 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in
 my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my
 fathers.
1:15 But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's
 womb, and called [me] by his grace,
1:16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce
 him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not
 counsel with flesh and blood,
1:17 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles
 before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to
 Damascus.
1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make
 acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
1:19 but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother
 of the Lord.
1:20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
1:21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
1:22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea
 which [are] in Christ;
1:23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly
 now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he
 ravaged:
1:24 and they glorified God in me.
2:1 Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to
 Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];
2:2 and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before
 them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but
 privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I
 run or had run in vain;
2:3 (but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek,
 compelled to be circumcised;)
2:4 and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in
 surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our
 liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us
 into bondage;
2:5 to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that
 the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.
2:6 But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat --
 whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does
 not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous
 communicated nothing;
2:7 but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the
 uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of
 the circumcision,
2:8 (for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the
 circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles,)
2:9 and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and
 John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and
 Barnabas [the] right hands of fellowship, that *we* [should go]
 to the nations, and *they* to the circumcision;
2:10 only that we should remember the poor, which same thing
 also I was diligent to do.
2:11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the]
 face, because he was to be condemned:
2:12 for before that certain came from James, he ate with [those
 of] the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated
 himself, fearing those of [the] circumcision;
2:13 and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling
 part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by
 their dissimulation.
2:14 But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly,
 according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter
 before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and
 not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?
2:15 We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,
2:16 but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of
 works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, *we* also
 have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on
 the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of
 law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be
 justified.
2:17 Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have
 been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be
 the thought.
2:18 For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again,
 I constitute myself a transgressor.
2:19 For *I*, through law, have died to law, that I may live to
 God.
2:20 I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, *I*, but
 Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live
 by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and
 given himself for me.
2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness
 [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
3:1 O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as
 before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed,
 crucified [among you]?
3:2 This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the
 Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of
 faith?
3:3 Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to
 be made perfect in flesh?
3:4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in
 vain?
3:5 He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works
 miracles among you, [is it] on the principle of works of law,
 or of [the] report of faith?
3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as
 righteousness.
3:7 Know then that they that are on the principle of faith,
 these are Abraham's sons;
3:8 and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the
 nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the
 glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be
 blessed.
3:9 So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed
 with believing Abraham.
3:10 For as many as are on the principle of works of law are
 under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does
 not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of
 the law to do them;
3:11 but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident,
 because The just shall live on the principle of faith;
3:12 but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that
 shall have done these things shall live by them.
3:13 Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having
 become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every
 one hanged upon a tree,)
3:14 that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in
 Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit
 through faith.
3:15 Brethren, (I speak according to man,) even man's confirmed
 covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.
3:16 But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his
 seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one,
 And to thy seed; which is Christ.
3:17 Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the
 law, which took place four hundred and thirty years
