Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
1 Paul[a]— an apostle not from humans nor through a human, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, the One having raised Him from the dead— 2 and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 the One having given Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us out of the present evil age in accordance with the will of our God and Father, 5 to Whom be the glory forever and ever, amen.
Are You Turning Away From The Gospel I Received Through a Revelation From Christ?
6 I am marveling that you are so quickly[b] turning-away from the One having called you by the grace of Christ to a different good-news— 7 which is not another[c] [good news]— except there are some disturbing you and intending[d] to change[e] the good-news of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should[f] announce-a-good-news to you other-than[g] what we announced-as-good-news to you, let him be accursed[h]. 9 As we have said-before I am also now saying again— if anyone is[i] announcing-a-good-news-to you other-than what you received, let him be accursed. 10 For am I now trying to win-approval-of [j] humans or God? Or am I seeking to please humans? If I were still[k] seeking to please humans, I would not be a slave of Christ! 11 For I make-known to you, brothers, as to the good-news having been announced-as-good-news by me, that it is not according-to[l] a human[m]. 12 For I neither received it from a human, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of [n] Jesus Christ.
Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant From Afar By Speaking The Word
7 After He completed all His words in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion’s[a] slave, who was precious[b] to him, being ill, was about to come-to-an-end[c]. 3 But having heard about Jesus, he sent-forth elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him so that having come, He might restore his slave. 4 And the ones having come to Jesus were appealing-to Him earnestly, saying that “He for whom You will grant this is worthy. 5 For he loves our nation, and he built the synagogue for us”. 6 Now Jesus was proceeding with them. And He already being not far distant from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “Master, do not be troubling Yourself. For I am not fit that You should come in under my roof. 7 For this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You. But speak it in a word[d], and let my servant be healed. 8 For I also am a man being placed under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this one, ‘Go!’, and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’, and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this!’, and he does it”. 9 And having heard these things, Jesus marveled-at him. And having turned to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel did I find so great a faith”. 10 And having returned to the house, the ones having been sent found the slave being healthy.
