Galatians 1

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

2 And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

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

4 Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father:

5 To whom be the glory for ever and ever. So be it.

6 I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;

7 Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

9 As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

10 Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

11 Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.

12 For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

13 For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

14 And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,

16 To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

17 And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back to Damascus.

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and was there with him fifteen days.

19 But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.

20 Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.

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

22 And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:

23 Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

24 And they gave glory to God in me.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 From Sha’ul, a Shliach, not from Bnei Adam, nor through Bnei Adam, but through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua and Hashem, Elohim Avinu, the One of whom [we say] Mechayyei Mesim Atah (Thou Revivest the Dead), even the Moshiach,

2 And from all the Achim B’Moshiach with me; to the Kehillot of Galatia.

3 Chen v’Chesed Hashem to you and Shalom Hashem from Elohim Avinu and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu,

4 The one having made a matnat Elohim of himself, on behalf of chattoteynu (our sins), so that he might rescue us out of the Olam Hazeh [Yom Tzarah], this age, this present evil age, according to the ratzon Hashem (will of G-d), even Avinu,

5 Lo hakavod l’olmei olamim. Omein.

6 I am shocked that so quickly you are being turned from the One who granted you the kri’ah (calling), summoning you by the Chen v’Chesed Hashem of Moshiach. I am shocked that so quickly you are being turned from this to a different "Besuras HaGeulah."

7 Not that there is another, mind you! Except that there are some individuals disturbing and troubling (5:12) you, desiring to twist and pervert the Besuras HaGeulah (Yeshayah 40:9; 60:6) of Moshiach.

8 But even if we [Shlichim, emissaries of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] or a malach from Shomayim should pose as maggidim [for Moshiach] and make a hachrazah (proclamation) to you of a "Besuras HaGeulah" other than that Besuras HaGeulah which we preached to you, let such a one be ARUR HAISH ("Cursed is the man," YEHOSHUA 6:26) and set under cherem (ban of destruction) and onesh Gehinnom (damnation).

9 As we have previously said, and now again I say, if any one preaches a "Besuras HaGeulah" to you other than that which you received, let him be ARUR HAISH and be consigned to onesh Gehinnom.

10 Am I now seeking the ishshur (approval) of Bnei Adam? Or the haskama (approval) of Hashem? Or am I seeking to be a man-pleaser? If (and this is not the case) I were still pleasing Bnei Adam, I would not have been the eved of Moshiach.

11 For I mefarsem (make known) to you, Achim B’Moshiach, the Besuras HaGeulah having been preached by me, that it is not according to Bnei Adam;

12 For neither did I receive it from Bnei Adam nor was I taught it, but no, it was through a chazon (revelation) of Moshiach Yehoshua.

13 For you heard of my derech, my halakhah, my hitnahagut (conduct) in earlier times in Yahadut (Judaism), how I was to an extraordinary degree bringing redifah (persecution) upon the Kehillah of Hashem and was making havoc of it,

14 And I was shtaig (working my way up, advancing, progressing) in Yahadut (Judaism) beyond many of my landsmen, being more abundantly machmir and a kannai (zealot) bekius for the minhagim, the Masorot haAvot, the kabbalah (oral tradition), the Torah Sheb’al Peh, the Halakhah of my Avot.

15 But when Hashem was pleased, when it was the ratzon Hashem, Hashem being the One who separated me as kodesh KERA’ANI MIME’EI IMMI ("He called me from the womb of my mother" YESHAYAH 49:1) and granted me the kri’ah (calling), summoning me through the Chen v’Chesed of Hashem,

16 To reveal His Ben HaElohim in me, that I might preach Him among the Goyim, immediately, then, I did not consult with basar vadahm (flesh and blood),

17 Nor did I go up to Yerushalayim to those who were Moshiach’s Shlichim before me, but I went away hitbodedut into Arabia and again I returned to Damascus.

18 Then, after shalosh shanim (three years),I went up to Yerushalayim to get acquainted with Kefa, and I stayed with him chamishah asar yamim (fifteen days).

19 But other of the Moshiach’s Shlichim I did not see except Ya’akov achi Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu [T.N. See p.848 and read Yn chp 7 and you will see that Ya’akov and Sha’ul were both unbelievers before the appearance of the Moshiach to them after His histalkus—see 1C 15:7].

20 Now, what things I write to you, hinei, before Hashem I do not speak sheker.

21 Next I went into the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,

22 But I was unknown panim el panim by the Kehillot of Moshiach in Yehudah;

23 Only they were hearing that "the one once bringing redifah (persecution) upon us is now preaching the [Messianic Orthodox Jewish] Emunah which once he was pillaging."

24 And they were glorifying Hashem in [by means of] me.
