1:1  Paul— an apostle not from humans nor through a human, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, the One having raised Him from the dead—
1:2  and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia:
1:3  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
1:4  the One having given Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us out of the present evil age in accordance with the will of our God and Father,
1:5  to Whom be the glory forever and ever, amen.
1:6  I am marveling that you are so quickly turning-away from the One having called you by the grace of Christ to a different good-news—
1:7  which is not another [good news]— except there are some disturbing you and intending to change the good-news of Christ.
1:8  But even if we or an angel from heaven should announce-a-good-news to you other-than what we announced-as-good-news to you, let him be accursed.
1:9  As we have said-before I am also now saying again— if anyone is announcing-a-good-news-to you other-than what you received, let him be accursed.
1:10  For am I now trying to win-approval-of  humans or God? Or am I seeking to please humans? If I were still seeking to please humans, I would not be a slave of Christ!
1:11  For I make-known to you, brothers, as to the good-news having been announced-as-good-news by me, that it is not according-to a human.
1:12  For I neither received it from a human, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of  Jesus Christ.
1:13  For you heard-of my former conduct in Judaism— that I was persecuting the church of God extremely, and destroying it.
1:14  And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my nation, being far more a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.
1:15  But when God— the One having separated me from my mother’s womb and having called me through His grace— was well-pleased
1:16  to reveal His Son in me in order that I might be announcing Him as good news among the Gentiles, I did not immediately communicate with flesh and blood,
1:17  nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia and returned back to Damascus.
1:18  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days.
1:19  But I did not see another of the apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
1:20  Now the things which I am writing to you, behold— I affirm in the sight of God that I am not lying.
1:21  Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
1:22  And I was not-known by face to the churches of Judea in Christ,
1:23  but they were only hearing that “the one once persecuting us is now announcing-as-good-news the faith which he was once destroying”.
1:24  And they were glorifying God in me.
