Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through YAHUSHUA the Messiah, and YAHUVEH the Father, who raised him from the dead), |
2 |
and all the brethren that are with me, unto the assemblies of Galatia: |
3 |
Grace to you and peace from YAHUVEH the Father, and our Master YAHUSHUA Messiah, |
4 |
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our YAHUVEH and Father: |
5 |
to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
6 |
I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Messiah unto a different evangel; |
7 |
which is not another evangel only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the evangel of Messiah. |
8 |
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any evangel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema. |
9 |
As we have said before, so say I now again, if any man preacheth unto you any evangel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema. |
10 |
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of YAHUVEH? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Messiah. |
11 |
For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the evangel which was preached by me, that it is not after man. |
12 |
For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of YAHUSHUA the Messiah. |
13 |
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of YAHUVEH, and made havoc of it: |
14 |
and I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. |
15 |
But when it was the good pleasure of YAHUVEH, who separated me, even from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace, |
16 |
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood: |
17 |
neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus. |
18 |
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days. |
19 |
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Master's brother. |
20 |
Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before YAHUVEH, I lie not. |
21 |
Then I came unto the regions of Syria and Cilicia. |
22 |
And I was still unknown by face unto the assemblies of Judaea which were in Messiah: |
23 |
but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc; |
24 |
and they glorified YAHUVEH in me. |
