Galatians 1
Mounce Reverse Interlinear New Testament
1 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— 2 and kai all pas the ho brothers adelphos who are with syn me egō, to the ho churches ekklēsia of ho Galatia Galatia: 3 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, 4 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, 5 to whom hos be · ho glory doxa for eis all ho time aiōn ho! · ho Amen amēn.
6 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— 7 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. 8 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. 9 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

Greetings from Paul
1 This letter is from Paul, an apostle. I was not appointed by any group of people or any human authority, but by Jesus Christ himself and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead.
2 All the brothers and sisters[a] here join me in sending this letter to the churches of Galatia.
3 May God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ[b] give you grace and peace. 4 Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live. 5 All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
There Is Only One Good News
6 I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ.[c] You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News 7 but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.
8 Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you. 9 I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.
10 Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
Paul’s Message Comes from Christ
11 Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning. 12 I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.[d]
13 You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion—how I violently persecuted God’s church. I did my best to destroy it. 14 I was far ahead of my fellow Jews in my zeal for the traditions of my ancestors.
15 But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him 16 to reveal his Son to me[e] so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.
When this happened, I did not rush out to consult with any human being.[f] 17 Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to consult with those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away into Arabia, and later I returned to the city of Damascus.
18 Then three years later I went to Jerusalem to get to know Peter,[g] and I stayed with him for fifteen days. 19 The only other apostle I met at that time was James, the Lord’s brother. 20 I declare before God that what I am writing to you is not a lie.
21 After that visit I went north into the provinces of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And still the churches in Christ that are in Judea didn’t know me personally. 23 All they knew was that people were saying, “The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!” 24 And they praised God because of me.
