¹[] Παυλος αποστολος ουχι απο ανθρωπων, ουδε δι' ανθρωπου, αλλα δια Ιησου Χριστου και Θεου Πατρος του αναστησαντος αυτον εκ νεκρων,

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

²και παντες οι μετ' εμου αδελφοι, προς τας εκκλησιας της Γαλατιας·

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:

³χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος και Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου,

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

⁴οστις εδωκεν εαυτον δια τας αμαρτιας ημων, δια να ελευθερωση ημας εκ του παροντος πονηρου αιωνος κατα το θελημα του Θεου και Πατρος ημων,

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—

⁵εις τον οποιον εστω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων· αμην.

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

⁶[] Θαυμαζω οτι τοσον ταχεως μεταφερεσθε απο εκεινου, οστις σας εκαλεσε δια της χαριτος του Χριστου, εις αλλο ευαγγελιον,

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

⁷το οποιον δεν ειναι αλλο, αλλ' υπαρχουσι τινες, οι οποιοι σας ταραττουσι και θελουσι να μετατρεψωσι το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου.

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

⁸Αλλα και εαν ημεις η αγγελος εξ ουρανου σας κηρυττη αλλο ευαγγελιον παρα εκεινο, το οποιον σας εκηρυξαμεν, ας ηναι αναθεμα.

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.

⁹Καθως προειπομεν, και τωρα παλιν λεγω· Εαν τις σας κηρυττη αλλο ευαγγελιον παρα εκεινο, το οποιον παρελαβετε, ας ηναι αναθεμα.

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[] Διοτι τωρα ανθρωπους πειθω η τον Θεον; η ζητω να αρεσκω εις ανθρωπους; διοτι εαν ακομη ηρεσκον εις ανθρωπους, δεν ηθελον εισθαι δουλος Χριστου.

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.

¹¹Αλλα σας γνωστοποιω, αδελφοι, οτι το ευαγγελιον το κηρυχθεν υπ' εμου δεν ειναι ανθρωπινον·

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

¹²διοτι ουδ' εγω παρελαβον αυτο παρα ανθρωπου ουτε εδιδαχθην, αλλα δι' αποκαλυψεως Ιησου Χριστου.

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

¹³Διοτι ηκουσατε την ποτε διαγωγην μου εν τω Ιουδαισμω, οτι καθ' υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του Θεου και εκακοποιουν αυτην,

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.

¹⁴και προεκοπτον εις τον Ιουδαισμον υπερ πολλους συνηλικιωτας εν τω γενει μου, περισσοτερον ζηλωτης υπαρχων των πατρικων μου παραδοσεων.

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.

¹⁵Οτε δε ηυδοκησεν ο Θεος, ο προσδιορισας με εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και καλεσας δια της χαριτος αυτου,

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

¹⁶να αποκαλυψη τον Υιον αυτου εν εμοι, δια να κηρυττω αυτον μεταξυ των εθνων, ευθυς δεν συνεβουλευθην σαρκα και αιμα,

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

¹⁷ουδε ανεβην εις Ιεροσολυμα προς τους προ εμου αποστολους, αλλ' απηλθον εις Αραβιαν και παλιν υπεστρεψα εις Δαμασκον.

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.

¹⁸Επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανεβην εις Ιεροσολυμα, δια να γνωρισω προσωπικως τον Πετρον, και εμεινα παρ' αυτω ημερας δεκαπεντε·

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

¹⁹αλλον δε των αποστολων δεν ειδον, ειμη Ιακωβον τον αδελφον του Κυριου.

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

²⁰Οσα δε σας γραφω, ιδου, ενωπιον του Θεου ομολογω οτι δεν ψευδομαι.

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

²¹Επειτα ηλθον εις τους τοπους της Συριας και της Κιλικιας.

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

²²Και ημην προσωπικως αγνοουμενος εις τας εκκλησιας της Ιουδαιας τας εν Χριστω·

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

²³ηκουον δε μονον οτι ο ποτε διωκων ημας, τωρα κηρυττει την πιστιν, την οποιαν ποτε κατεπολεμει,

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

²⁴και εδοξαζον τον Θεον δι' εμε.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
