Galatians 1 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ Sha’ul, an emissary – not from men, nor by a man, but by יהושע  Messiah and Elohim the Father who raised Him from the dead –

² and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

³ Favour to you and peace from Elohim the Father and our Master יהושע  Messiah,

⁴ who gave Himself for our sins, to deliver us out of this present wicked age, according to the desire of our Elohim and Father,

⁵ to whom be the praise forever and ever. Amĕ

⁶ I marvel that you are so readily turning away from Him who called you in the favour of Messiah, to a different ‘Good News,’

⁷ which is not another, only there are some who are troubling you and wishing to pervert the Good News of Messiah.

⁸ However, even if we, or a messenger out of heaven, bring a ‘Good News’ to you beside what we announced to you, let him be accursed.

⁹ As we have said before, and now I say again, if anyone brings a ‘Good News’ to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰ For do I now persuade men, or Elohim? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I should not be a servant of Messiah.

¹¹ And I make known to you, brothers, that the Good News announced by me is not according to man.

¹² For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of יהושע  Messiah.

¹³ For you have heard of my former way of life in Yehuḏ

¹⁴ And I progressed in Yehuḏ

¹⁵ But when it pleased Elohim, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me by His favour,

¹⁶ to reveal His Son in me, that I might bring Him, the Good News, to the gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

¹⁷ neither did I go up to Yerushalayim, to those who were emissaries before me. But I went to Araḇ

¹⁸ Then after three years I went up to Yerushalayim to learn from Kĕ

¹⁹ And I saw no other of the emissaries except Yaʽ

²⁰ And what I write to you, see, before Elohim, I do not lie.

²¹ Then I went into the districts of Syria and of Kilikia.

²² And I was still not known by sight to the assemblies of Yehuḏ

²³ but they were hearing only that, “The one who once persecuted us now brings as Good News the belief which he once ravaged.”

²⁴ So they were esteeming Elohim in me.
