Chapter 1
Galatians
1:1 Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither by man, but by YASHUWAH the Messiah, and Elohim the Father, who raised him from the dead),
1:2 And all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
1:3 Grace to you* and peace from Elohim the Father, and from our Master YASHUWAH the Messiah,
1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of Elohim and our Father:
1:5 To whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
1:6 I marvel that you* are so soon removed from him who called you* into the grace of the Messiah, to another gospel:
1:7 Which is not any other gospel; but there are some who trouble you*, and would pervert the gospel of the Messiah.
1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you* than that which we have preached to you*, let him be accursed.
1:9 As we said before, so I say now again, If any man preaches any other gospel to you* than that which you* have received, let him be accursed.
1:10 For do I now persuade men, or Elohim? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of the Messiah.
1:11 But I certify you*, brothers, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
1:12 For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of YASHUWAH the Messiah.
1:13 For you* have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of Elohim, and wasted it;
1:14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
1:15 But when it pleased Elohim, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
1:16 To reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood:
1:17 Neither did I go to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
1:18 Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
1:19 But I saw no other of the apostles, save James the Master's brother.
1:20 Now about the things which I write to you*, behold, before Elohim, I do not lie.
1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
1:22 And was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in the Messiah:
1:23 But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past, now preaches the faith which he once destroyed.
1:24 And they glorified Elohim in me.
