Galaterne 1
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
1 Paulus, apostel, ikke av mennesker eller ved noget menneske, men ved Jesus Kristus og Gud Fader, som opvakte ham fra de døde,
2 og alle de brødre som er hos mig - til menighetene i Galatia:
3 Nåde være med eder og fred fra Gud Fader og vår Herre Jesus Kristus,
4 han som gav sig selv for våre synder for å fri oss ut av den nærværende onde verden efter vår Guds og Faders vilje;
5 ham være æren i all evighet! Amen.
6 Jeg undrer mig over at I så snart vender eder bort fra ham som kalte eder ved Kristi nåde, til et annet evangelium,
7 skjønt der ikke er noget annet; det er bare nogen som forvirrer eder og vil forvrenge Kristi evangelium.
8 Men selv om vi eller en engel fra himmelen forkynner eder et annet evangelium enn det som vi har forkynt eder, han være forbannet!
9 Som vi før har sagt, så sier jeg og nu igjen: Om nogen forkynner eder et annet evangelium enn det som I har mottatt, han være forbannet!
10 Taler jeg nu mennesker til vilje, eller Gud? eller søker jeg å tekkes mennesker? Søkte jeg ennu å tekkes mennesker, da var jeg ikke Kristi tjener.
11 Jeg kunngjør eder, brødre, at det evangelium som er blitt forkynt av mig, ikke er menneske-verk;
12 for heller ikke jeg har mottatt det eller lært det av noget menneske, men ved Jesu Kristi åpenbaring.
13 I har jo hørt hvorledes jeg fordum levde som jøde, at jeg over all måte forfulgte Guds menighet og ødela den,
14 og jeg gikk videre i jødedommen enn mange jevnaldrende i mitt folk, jeg var enda mere nidkjær for mine fedrene lærdommer.
15 Men da han som utvalgte mig fra mors liv og kalte mig ved sin nåde,
16 efter sin vilje åpenbarte sin Sønn i mig, forat jeg skulde forkynne evangeliet om ham blandt hedningene, da samrådde jeg mig ikke med kjød og blod,
17 heller ikke drog jeg op til Jerusalem til dem som var apostler før mig; men jeg drog straks bort til Arabia og vendte tilbake til Damaskus.
18 Siden, tre år efter, drog jeg op til Jerusalem for å bli kjent med Kefas, og jeg blev femten dager hos ham;
19 men nogen annen av apostlene så jeg ikke, uten Jakob, Herrens bror.
20 Det jeg her skriver til eder - se, det vet Gud at jeg ikke lyver!
21 Derefter kom jeg til Syrias og Kilikias bygder.
22 Jeg var av utseende ukjent for de kristne menigheter i Judea;
23 de hadde bare hørt si: Han som før forfulgte oss, han forkynner nu den tro som han før vilde utrydde;
24 og de priste Gud for mig.
Galatians 1
King James Version
1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24 And they glorified God in 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.
