From Paul Paulos, an apostle apostolos not ou from apo men anthrōpos, nor oude through dia man anthrōpos, but alla through dia Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos and kai God theos the Father patēr who ho raised egeirō him autos from ek the dead nekros and kai all pas the ho brothers adelphos who are with syn me egō, to the ho churches ekklēsia of ho Galatia Galatia: Grace charis to you hymeis and kai peace eirēnē from apo God theos our hēmeis Father patēr and kai the Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, who ho gave didōmi himself heautou for hyper · ho our hēmeis sins hamartia in order to hopōs rescue exaireō us hēmeis from ek this ho present enistēmi evil ponēros age aiōn, · ho according kata to the ho will thelēma of ho our hēmeis God theos and kai Father patēr, to whom hos be · ho glory doxa for eis all ho time aiōn ho! · ho Amen amēn.

I am astonished thaumazō that hoti you are so houtōs quickly tacheōs deserting metatithēmi the ho one who called kaleō you hymeis by en the grace charis of Christ Christos and are turning to eis a different heteros gospel euangelion not ou that hos there is eimi another allos gospel, but ei mē there are eimi some tis who ho are trying to confuse tarassō you hymeis and kai want thelō to pervert metastrephō the ho gospel euangelion of ho Christ Christos. But alla even kai if ean we hēmeis, or ē an angel angelos from ek heaven ouranos, should preach euangelizō a gospel at odds with para the one hos we already preached euangelizō to you hymeis, let him be eimi accursed anathema. As hōs we have said before, and kai now arti I say legō again palin: If ei anyone tis is preaching euangelizō to you hymeis a gospel euangelizō at odds with para the one hos you have already received paralambanō, let him be eimi accursed anathema.

10 For gar am I peithō now arti seeking the approval of peithō men anthrōpos, or ē of · ho God theos? Or ē am I trying zēteō to please areskō men anthrōpos? If ei I were areskō still eti trying to please areskō men anthrōpos, I eimi would an not ou be eimi a servant of Christ Christos.

11 I want you hymeis to know gnōrizō, brothers adelphos, that hoti the ho gospel euangelion · ho preached euangelizō by hypo me egō is eimi not ou of kata human anthrōpos origin. 12 For gar I egō did paralambanō not oude receive paralambanō it autos from para man anthrōpos, nor oute was I taught didaskō it; instead alla I received it by dia a revelation apokalypsis from Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos.

13 For gar you have heard akouō of · ho my emos former pote way of life anastrophē in en · ho Judaism Ioudaismos, how hoti intensely kata hyperbolē I used to persecute diōkō the ho church ekklēsia of ho God theos and kai was trying to destroy portheō it autos. 14 And kai I was advancing prokoptō in en · ho Judaism Ioudaismos beyond hyper many polys of my egō own age synēlikiōtēs in en the ho entire nation genos, being hyparchō extremely perissoterōs zealous zēlōtēs for the ho traditions patrikos of my egō ancestors paradosis. 15 But de when hote · ho God theos, who ho had set me egō apart aphorizō from ek my egō mother’ s mētēr womb koilia and kai called kaleō me by dia · ho his autos grace charis, was pleased eudokeō 16 to reveal apokalyptō · ho his autos Son hyios in en me egō so that hina I might preach euangelizō him autos among en the ho Gentiles ethnos, I did not ou consult with prosanatithēmi flesh sarx and kai blood haima, 17 nor oude did I go up anerchomai to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma to pros those ho who were apostles apostolos before pro me egō; but alla I went away aperchomai into eis Arabia Arabia and kai returned hypostrephō again palin to eis Damascus Damaskos.

18 Then epeita after meta three treis years etos I went anerchomai up to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma to get acquainted historeō with Cephas Kēphas and kai stayed epimenō with pros him autos fifteen dekapente days hēmera. 19 But de I did not ou see any of the ho other heteros apostles apostolos except ei mē James Iakōbos, the ho Lord’ s kyrios brother adelphos. · ho 20 In what hos · de I am writing graphō to you hymeis, I swear idou before enōpion · ho God theos, I am not ou lying pseudomai! 21 After that epeita I went erchomai to eis the ho regions klima of ho Syria Syria and kai · ho Cilicia Kilikia. 22 But de I was eimi still personally prosōpon unknown agnoeō · ho to the ho churches ekklēsia of ho Judea Ioudaia that ho are in en Christ Christos. 23 They eimi only monon · de kept eimi hearing akouō, “ The ho one who formerly pote persecuted diōkō us hēmeis is now nyn preaching euangelizō the ho faith pistis that hos he once pote tried to destroy portheō.” 24 So kai they praised doxazō God theos because en of me egō. · ho

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

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:

To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

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.

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.

Introducción (1,1-10)

Saludo

Pablo, apóstol no por disposición ni intervención humana alguna, sino por encargo de Jesucristo y de Dios Padre que lo resucitó triunfante de la muerte, junto con todos los hermanos que están conmigo, a las iglesias de Galacia. Que Dios Padre y Jesucristo, el Señor, les concedan gracia y paz. Jesucristo, que ha entregado su vida por nuestros pecados y nos ha liberado de esta era infestada de maldad, conforme a lo dispuesto por Dios nuestro Padre, a quien pertenece la gloria por siempre. Amén.

Sólo hay un mensaje de salvación

¡No salgo de mi asombro! ¡Hay que ver con qué rapidez ustedes han desertado de aquel que los llamó mediante la gracia de Cristo y se han pasado a otro mensaje! ¿Qué digo otro? Lo que pasa es que algunos los desconciertan intentando deformar el mensaje evangélico de Cristo. Pero sea quien sea —yo mismo o incluso un ángel venido del cielo— el que les anuncie un mensaje diferente del que yo les anuncié, ¡caiga sobre él la maldición! Se lo dije a ustedes en otra ocasión y lo repito ahora: si alguien les anuncia un mensaje distinto al que han recibido, ¡caiga sobre él la maldición! 10 ¿A quién pretendo yo ahora ganarme? ¿A quién busco agradar? ¿A Dios o a personas humanas? Si todavía tratase de seguir agradando a personas humanas, no sería siervo de Cristo.

I.— AUTORIDAD APOSTÓLICA DE PABLO (1,11—2,21)

La vocación de Pablo

11 Hermanos, quiero dejar bien claro que el mensaje proclamado por mí no es ninguna invención humana. 12 Ni lo recibí ni lo aprendí de persona humana alguna. Es Jesucristo mismo quien me lo ha revelado. 13 Ya conocen mi antigua conducta, cuando aún militaba en las filas del judaísmo: con qué saña perseguía a la Iglesia de Dios intentando aniquilarla. 14 Incluso sobresalí dentro del judaísmo por encima de muchos de mis compatriotas como fanático defensor de las tradiciones de mis antepasados. 15 Pero Dios, que me había elegido ya desde antes de mi nacimiento, me llamó por pura benevolencia 16 para revelarme a su Hijo y darme el encargo de anunciar su mensaje evangélico a los que no son judíos. No solicité entonces ningún consejo humano; 17 ni siquiera fui a Jerusalén para hablar con quienes eran apóstoles antes que yo, sino que me fui a la región de Arabia, de donde volví otra vez a Damasco. 18 Tres años más tarde, fui a Jerusalén para conocer a Pedro y estuve con él quince días. 19 A ningún otro apóstol vi, aparte de Santiago, el hermano del Señor. 20 Dios es testigo de que no miento en nada de lo que les escribo. 21 Después fui a las regiones de Siria y Cilicia. 22 A todo esto, las iglesias cristianas de Judea seguían sin conocerme en persona. 23 Únicamente habían oído decir: “El que en otro tiempo nos perseguía, ahora anuncia la fe que antes pretendía aniquilar”. 24 Y alababan a Dios por causa mía.

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) and all the brothers and sisters[a] with me,(F)

To the churches in Galatia:(G)

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,(H) 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) to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(L)

No Other Gospel

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) 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. 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) 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.
