The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 Paulus apostolus non ab hominibus neque per hominem sed per Iesum Christum et Deum Patrem qui suscitavit eum a mortuis
1
Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),
2 et qui mecum sunt omnes fratres ecclesiis Galatiae
2
and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:
3 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre et Domino nostro Iesu Christo
3
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 qui dedit semet ipsum pro peccatis nostris ut eriperet nos de praesenti saeculo nequam secundum voluntatem Dei et Patris nostri
4
who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
5 cui est gloria in saecula saeculorum amen
5
to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
6 miror quod sic tam cito transferimini ab eo qui vos vocavit in gratiam Christi in aliud evangelium
6
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
7 quod non est aliud nisi sunt aliqui qui vos conturbant et volunt convertere evangelium Christi
7
which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 sed licet nos aut angelus de caelo evangelizet vobis praeterquam quod evangelizavimus vobis anathema sit
8
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
9 sicut praediximus et nunc iterum dico si quis vobis evangelizaverit praeter id quod accepistis anathema sit
9
As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
10 modo enim hominibus suadeo aut Deo aut quaero hominibus placere si adhuc hominibus placerem Christi servus non essem
10
For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
11 notum enim vobis facio fratres evangelium quod evangelizatum est a me quia non est secundum hominem
11
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12 neque enim ego ab homine accepi illud neque didici sed per revelationem Iesu Christi
12
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 audistis enim conversationem meam aliquando in iudaismo quoniam supra modum persequebar ecclesiam Dei et expugnabam illam
13
For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
14 et proficiebam in iudaismo supra multos coetaneos in genere meo abundantius aemulator existens paternarum mearum traditionum
14
And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 cum autem placuit ei qui me segregavit de utero matris meae et vocavit per gratiam suam
15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,
16 ut revelaret Filium suum in me ut evangelizarem illum in gentibus continuo non adquievi carni et sanguini
16
to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 neque veni Hierosolyma ad antecessores meos apostolos sed abii in Arabiam et iterum reversus sum Damascum
17
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18 deinde post annos tres veni Hierosolyma videre Petrum et mansi apud eum diebus quindecim
18
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.
19 alium autem apostolorum vidi neminem nisi Iacobum fratrem Domini
19
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
20 quae autem scribo vobis ecce coram Deo quia non mentior
20
(Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)
21 deinde veni in partes Syriae et Ciliciae
21
Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 eram autem ignotus facie ecclesiis Iudaeae quae erant in Christo
22
And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.
23 tantum autem auditum habebant quoniam qui persequebatur nos aliquando nunc evangelizat fidem quam aliquando expugnabat
23
But they were hearing only, "He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy."
24 et in me clarificabant Deum
24
And they glorified God in me.
