갈라디아서 1
Korean Living Bible
1 사람이 보냈거나 사람을 통해서 사도가 된 것이 아니라 예수 그리스도와 그분을 죽은 사람들 가운데서 다시 살리신 하나님 아버지를 통해서 사도가 된 나 바울과
2 그리고 나와 함께 있는 모든 형제들이 갈라디아 여러 교회들에게
3 우리 하나님 아버지와 주 예수 그리스도의 은혜와 평안이 함께하기를 기도합니다.
4 그리스도께서는 우리 하나님 아버지의 뜻을 따라 우리를 이 악한 세상에서 구원하시려고 우리 죄를 위해 자기를 바치셨습니다.
5 하나님 아버지께 길이길이 영광이 있기를 바랍니다. 아멘.
다른 복음은 없다
6 여러분이 그리스도의 은혜로 여러분을 부르신 하나님을 그처럼 쉽게 저버리고 다른 [a]복음을 따르다니 정말 놀라지 않을 수 없습니다.
7 사실 다른 복음이란 있을 수가 없습니다. 다만 어떤 사람들이 여러분을 혼란 가운데 빠뜨리고 그리스도의 복음을 변질시키려는 것에 지나지 않습니다.
8 우리뿐만 아니라 하늘에서 온 천사라도 우리가 여러분에게 전한 기쁜 소식 외에 다른 것을 전한다면 저주를 받을 것입니다.
9 우리가 전에 말한 대로 내가 다시 말하지만 누구든지 여러분이 이미 받은 기쁜 소식 외에 다른 것을 전하면 저주를 받을 것입니다.
10 내가 지금 사람에게 잘 보이려고 하는 줄 아십니까? 아닙니다. 내가 원하는 것은 하나님의 인정을 받는 일입니다. 내가 이제 와서 사람을 기쁘게 하겠습니까? 내가 아직도 사람을 기쁘게 하려고 한다면 나는 그리스도의 종이 아닙니다.
11 형제 여러분, 내가 여러분에게 알게 합니다만 내가 전한 기쁜 소식은 사람이 만들어낸 것이 아닙니다.
12 이 기쁜 소식은 내가 사람에게서 받았거나 배운 것이 아니라 예수 그리스도의 계시로 받은 것입니다.
13 내가 전에 유대교에 있을 때 한 일들을 여러분은 들어서 알 것입니다. 그때 나는 하나님의 교회를 몹시 박해하였고 아예 교회를 없애 버리려고까지 했습니다.
14 나는 같은 나이 또래의 그 어떤 유대인들보다 유대교를 신봉하는 데 앞장섰으며 조상들의 전통을 지키는 데도 누구 못지않게 열심이었습니다.
15-16 그러나 내가 태어나기도 전에 나를 택하시고 은혜로 나를 부르신 하나님이 자기 아들을 나에게 나타내어 이방인들에게 그분에 대한 기쁜 소식을 전하게 하시기를 기뻐하셨을 때 나는 [b]사람과 의논하지 않았으며
17 나보다 먼저 사도가 된 사람들을 만나려고 예루살렘으로 가지도 않았고 곧바로 아라비아로 갔다가 다시 다마스커스로 돌아왔습니다.
18 그 후 나는 3년 만에 베드로를 만나러 예루살렘으로 가서 15일 동안 그와 함께 지냈습니다.
19 나는 거기서 주님의 형제 야고보 외에는 다른 사도를 만나지 못했습니다.
20 내가 지금 쓰고 있는 이것이 거짓말이 아니라는 것을 나는 하나님 앞에서 여러분에게 확실히 말할 수 있습니다.
21 그 후에 나는 시리아와 길리기아 지방으로 갔습니다.
22 그때까지만 해도 유대에 있는 교회들은 내 얼굴을 몰랐습니다.
23 그들은 전에 자기들을 괴롭히던 사람이 지금은 박해하던 그 믿음을 전한다는 말만 듣고
24 나 때문에 하나님께 영광을 돌렸습니다.
Galatians 1
English Standard Version
Greeting
1 Paul, an (A)apostle—(B)not from men nor through man, but (C)through Jesus Christ and God the Father, (D)who raised him from the dead— 2 and all (E)the brothers[a] who are with me,
To (F)the churches of Galatia:
3 (G)Grace to you and peace (H)from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 (I)who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present (J)evil age, according to the will of (K)our God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
No Other Gospel
6 I am astonished that you are (L)so quickly deserting (M)him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to (N)a different gospel— 7 (O)not that there is another one, but (P)there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or (Q)an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, (R)let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, (S)let him be accursed.
10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying (T)to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a (U)servant[b] of Christ.
Paul Called by God
11 For (V)I would have you know, brothers, that (W)the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.[c] 12 (X)For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it (Y)through a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you have heard of (Z)my former life in Judaism, how (AA)I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. 14 And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely (AB)zealous was I for (AC)the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when he (AD)who had set me apart (AE)before I was born,[d] and who (AF)called me by his grace, 16 was pleased to reveal his Son to[e] me, in order (AG)that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;[f] 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18 Then (AH)after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James (AI)the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, (AJ)before God, I do not lie!) 21 (AK)Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown in person to (AL)the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me.

Galatians 1
New International Version
1 Paul, an apostle(A)—sent not from men nor by a man,(B) but by Jesus Christ(C) and God the Father,(D) who raised him from the dead(E)— 2 and all the brothers and sisters[a] with me,(F)
To the churches in Galatia:(G)
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,(H) 4 who gave himself for our sins(I) to rescue us from the present evil age,(J) according to the will of our God and Father,(K) 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(L)
No Other Gospel
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called(M) you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel(N)— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion(O) and are trying to pervert(P) the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,(Q) let them be under God’s curse!(R) 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,(S) let them be under God’s curse!
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people?(T) If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Paul Called by God
11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters,(U) that the gospel I preached(V) is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man,(W) nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation(X) from Jesus Christ.(Y)
13 For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism,(Z) how intensely I persecuted the church of God(AA) and tried to destroy it.(AB) 14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous(AC) for the traditions of my fathers.(AD) 15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb(AE) and called me(AF) by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles,(AG) my immediate response was not to consult any human being.(AH) 17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.(AI)
18 Then after three years,(AJ) I went up to Jerusalem(AK) to get acquainted with Cephas[b] and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles—only James,(AL) the Lord’s brother. 20 I assure you before God(AM) that what I am writing you is no lie.(AN)
21 Then I went to Syria(AO) and Cilicia.(AP) 22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea(AQ) that are in Christ.(AR) 23 They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith(AS) he once tried to destroy.”(AT) 24 And they praised God(AU) because of me.
Footnotes
- Galatians 1:2 The Greek word for brothers and sisters (adelphoi) refers here to believers, both men and women, as part of God’s family; also in verse 11; and in 3:15; 4:12, 28, 31; 5:11, 13; 6:1, 18.
- Galatians 1:18 That is, Peter
Galatians 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but (A)through Jesus Christ and God the Father (B)who raised Him from the dead), 2 and all the brethren who are with me,
To the churches of Galatia:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 (C)who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us (D)from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Only One Gospel
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon (E)from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 (F)which is not another; but there are some (G)who trouble you and want to (H)pervert[a] the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if (I)we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be [b]accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you (J)than what you have received, let him be accursed.
10 For (K)do I now (L)persuade men, or God? Or (M)do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Call to Apostleship(N)
11 (O)But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For (P)I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came (Q)through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how (R)I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and (S)tried to destroy it. 14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, (T)being more exceedingly zealous (U)for the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, (V)who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, 16 (W)to reveal His Son in me, that (X)I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with (Y)flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Contacts at Jerusalem(Z)
18 Then after three years (AA)I went up to Jerusalem to see [c]Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But (AB)I saw none of the other apostles except (AC)James, the Lord’s brother. 20 (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)
21 (AD)Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which (AE)were in Christ. 23 But they were (AF)hearing only, “He who formerly (AG)persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they (AH)glorified God in me.
