¹问安作使徒的保罗（不是由于人，也不是借着人，而是借着耶稣基督和那使他从死人中复活的父　神），

¹Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),

²和所有与我在一起的弟兄，写信给加拉太的众教会。

²and all the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

³愿恩惠平安从我们的父　神和主耶稣基督临到你们。

³Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴基督照着我们父　神的旨意，曾经为我们的罪舍己，为的是要救我们脱离现在这邪恶的世代。

⁴who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

⁵愿荣耀归给他，直到永永远远。阿们。

⁵to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁶福音只有一个我很惊奇，你们这么快就离开了借着基督的恩呼召你们的那一位，去归向别的福音。

⁶I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”;

⁷其实那并不是另一个福音，只是有些搅扰你们的人，想把基督的福音改变了。

⁷and there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

⁸但无论是我们，或是从天上来的使者，如果传给你们的和我们以前传给你们的福音不同，他就该受咒诅。

⁸But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

⁹我们已经说过，现在我要再说，如果有人传给你们的和你们以前所领受的福音不同，他就该受咒诅。

⁹As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

¹⁰我现在是要得人的欢心，还是要得　神的欢心呢？难道我想讨人欢喜吗？如果我仍然要讨人欢喜，就不是基督的仆人了。

¹⁰For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

¹¹保罗得启示作使徒弟兄们，我要你们知道，我所传的福音，并不是照着人的意思，

¹¹But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

¹²因为这福音我不是从人领受的，也不是人教导我的，而是借着耶稣基督的启示来的。

¹²For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³你们听过我从前在犹太教中所行的：怎样极力逼迫残害　神的教会，

¹³For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.

¹⁴怎样在犹太教中比许多本族同辈的人更激进，为我祖先的传统分外热心。

¹⁴I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵然而，当我在母腹里就把我分别出来，又用他的恩呼召我的那一位，

¹⁵But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,

¹⁶既然乐意把自己的儿子启示给我，使我可以在外族人中传扬他，我就没有和任何人（“人”直译“肉和血”）商量，

¹⁶to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,

¹⁷也没有上耶路撒冷见那些比我先作使徒的，却去了阿拉伯，然后再回到大马士革。

¹⁷nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

¹⁸过了三年，我才上耶路撒冷去见矶法，和他住了十五天。

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

¹⁹至于其余的使徒，除了主的弟弟雅各以外，我都没有见过。

¹⁹But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord’s brother.

²⁰在　神面前我敢说，我写给你们的都不是谎话。

²⁰Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

²¹后来，我到了叙利亚和基利家一带的地方。

²¹Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

²²那时，在基督里的犹太众教会还没有见过我的面，

²²I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

²³不过听说“那个从前迫害我们的，现在竟然传扬他以前所残害的信仰”，

²³but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”

²⁴他们就因着我的缘故颂赞　神。

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
