Galatians
Chapter 1
1:1Paul an Apostle (not of men,neither by man,but by Jesus Christos,and Theos the Father who has raised him from the dead)
1:2And all the brethren who are with me, to the Churches of Galatia:
1:3Grace be with you,and peace from Theos the Father,and from our Kyrios Jesus Christos,
1:4Which gave himself for our sins,that he might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of Theos even our Father,
1:5To whom be glory forever and ever, Amen.
1:6I marvel that you are so soon removed away to another Gospel, from him that had called you in the grace of Christos,
1:7Which is not another Gospel, save that there be some which trouble you,and intend to pervert the Gospel of Christos.
1:8But though that we, or an Angel from heaven preach to you otherwise, then that which we have proclaimed to you, let him be accursed.
1:9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach to you otherwise, then that you have received, let him be accursed.
1:10For now preach I man's doctrine, or God's? Or go I about to please men? For if I should yet please men, I were not the servant of Christos.
1:11Now I make known to you, brethren,that the Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man.
1:12For neither received I it of man,neither was I taught it,but by the revelation of Jesus Christos.
1:13For you have heard of my conduct in time past, in the Jewish religion, how that I persecuted the Church of Theos extremely,and wasted it,
1:14And profited in the Jewish religion above many of my companions of my own nation,and was much more zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
1:15But when it pleased Theos (which had separated me from my mother's womb,and called me by his grace)
1:16To reveal his Son in me,that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I communicated not with flesh and blood:
1:17Neither came I again to Jerusalem to them which were Apostles before me,but I went into Arabia,and turned again to Damascus.
1:18Then after three years I came again to Jerusalem to visit Peter,and abode with him fifteen days.
1:19And none other of the Apostles saw I, save James the Lord's brother.
1:20Now the things which I write to you, behold, I witness before Theos,that I lie not.
1:21After that, I went into the coasts of Syria and Cilicia:
1:22for I was unknown by face to the Churches of Judea, which were in Christos.
1:23But they had heard only some say, He who persecuted us in time past, now preaches the faith which before he destroyed.
1:24And they glorified Theos for me.
Chapter 2
2:1Then fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas,and took with me Titus also.
2:2And I went up by revelation,and declared to them that Gospel which I preach among the Gentiles,but particularly to them that were the chief,lest by any means I should run, or had run in vain:
2:3But neither yet Titus which was with me, though he were a Grecian, was compelled to be circumcised,
2:4Namely,for the false brethren who were craftily sent in,and crept in secretly to spy out our liberty, which we have in Christos Jesus,that they might bring us into bondage.
2:5To whom we gave not place by subjection for an hour,that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you.
2:6But by them which seemed to be great, I was not taught (whatever they were in time passed, I am nothing the better:Theos accepts no man's person) for they that are the chief, did add nothing to me above that I had.
2:7But contrariwise, when they saw that the Gospel over the uncircumcision was committed to me, as the Gospel over the circumcision was to Peter:
2:8(For he that was mighty by Peter in the Apostleship over the circumcision, was also mighty by me toward the Gentiles)
2:9And when James,and Cephas,and John, knew of the grace that was given to me, which seemed to be pillars, they gave to me and to Barnabas the right hands of fellowship,that we should preach to the Gentiles,and they to the Circumcision,
2:10Warning only that we should remember the poor:which thing also I was diligent to do.
2:11And when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face:for he was to be condemned.
2:12For before that certain came from James, he ate with the Gentiles:but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the Circumcision.
2:13And the other Jews played the hypocrites likewise with him, in so much that Barnabas was led away with them by that their hypocrisy.
2:14But when I saw,that they went not the right way to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter before all men, If you being a Jew, live as the Gentiles,and not like the Jews, why do you compel the Gentiles to do like the Jews?
2:15We which are Jews by nature,and not sinners of the Gentiles,
2:16Know that a man is not justified by the works of the Law,but by the faith of Jesus Christos, even we, I say, have believed in Jesus Christos,that we might be justified by the faith of Christos,and not by the works of the Law, because that by the works of the Law, no flesh shall be justified.
2:17If then while we seek to be made righteous by Christos, we ourselves are found sinners, is Christos therefore the minister of sin? God forbid.
2:18For if I build again the things that I have destroyed, I make myself a trespasser.
2:19For I through the Law am dead to the Law,that I might live to Theos.
2:20I am crucified with Christos,but I live, yet not I any more,but Christos lives in me:and in that that I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith in the Son of Theos, who has loved me,and given himself for me.
2:21I do not abrogate the grace of Theos:for if righteousness be by the Law, then Christos died without a cause.
Chapter 3
3:1O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you,that you should not obey the truth, to whom Jesus Christos before was described in your sight,and among you crucified?
3:2This only would I learn of you, Received you the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith preached?
3:3Are you so foolish,that after you have begun in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
3:4Have you suffered so many things in vain? If so be it be even in vain.
3:5He therefore that supplies to you the Spirit,and works miracles among you, does he it through the works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith preached?
3:6Yes rather as Abraham believed Theos,and it was imputed to him for righteousness.
3:7Know you therefore,that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
3:8For the Scripture foreseeing,that Theos would justify the Gentiles through faith, preached before the Gospel to Abraham, saying, In you shall all the Gentiles be blessed.
3:9So then they who be of faith, are blessed with faithful Abraham.
3:10For as many as are of the works of the Law, are under the curse:for it is written, Cursed is every man that continues not in all things, which are written in the book of the Law, to do them.
3:11And that no man is justified by the Law in the sight of Theos, it is evident:for the just shall live by faith.
3:12And the Law is not of faith:but the man that shall do those things, shall live in them.
3:13Christos has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, made a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on tree)
3:14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christos Jesus,that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
3:15Brethren, I speak as men do:though it be but a man's covenant, when it is confirmed, yet no man does abrogate it, or adds anything thereto.
3:16Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He says not,And to the seeds, as speaking of many:but,And to your seed, as of one who is Christos.
3:17And this I say,that the covenant that was confirmed before of Theos in respect of Christos, the Law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul,that it should make the promise of none effect.
3:18For if the inheritance be of the Law, it is no more by the promise,but Theos gave it freely to Abraham by promise.
3:19Why then serves the Law? It was added because of the transgressions, till the seed came, to the which the promise was made:and it was ordained by Angels in the hand of a Mediator.
3:20Now a Mediator is not a Mediator of one:but Theos is one.
3:21Is the Law then against the promises of Theos? God forbid:For if there had been a Law given which could have given life, surely righteousness should have been by the Law.
3:22But the Scripture has concluded all under sin,that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christos should be given to them that believe.
3:23But before faith came, we were kept under the Law, as under a guard,and shut up to that faith, which should afterward be revealed.
3:24Therefore the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christos,that we might be made righteous by faith.
3:25But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a come.
3:26For you are all the sons of Theos by faith, in Christos Jesus.
3:27For all you that are baptized into Christos, have put on Christos.
3:28There is neither Jew nor Grecian:there is neither bond nor free:there is neither male nor female:for you are all one in Christos Jesus.
3:29And if you are Christos's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs by promise.
Chapter 4
4:1Then I say,that the heir as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be Kyrios of all,
4:2But is under tutors and governors, until the time appointed of the Father.
4:3Even so, we when we were children, were in bondage under the rudiments of the world.
4:4But when the fullness of time was come, Theos sent forth his Son made of a woman,and made under the Law,
4:5That he might redeem them which were under the Law,that we might receive the adoption of the sons.
4:6And because you are sons, Theos has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, which cries, Abba, Father.
4:7Therefore, you are no more a servant,but a son:now if you be a son, you are also the heir of Theos through Christos.
4:8But even then, when you knew not Theos, you did service to them, which by nature are not gods:
4:9But now seeing you know Theos, yes, rather are known of Theos, how turn you again to impotent and beggarly rudiments, to what as from the beginning you will be in bondage again?
4:10You observe days,and months,and times and years.
4:11I am in fear of you,lest I have bestowed on you labor in vain.
4:12Be you as I (for I am even as you) brethren, I beseech you:you have not hurt me at all.
4:13And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the Gospel to you at the first.
4:14And the trial of me which was in my flesh, you despised not,neither abhorred:but you received me as an Angel of Theos, yes, as Christos Jesus.
4:15What was then your felicity? For I bear you testimony, that if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
4:16Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
4:17They are jealous over you amiss:yes, they would exclude you,that you should altogether love them.
4:18But it is a good thing to love earnestly always in a good thing,and not only when I am present with you,
4:19My little children, for whom I suffer birth pains again, until Christos be formed in you.
4:20And I would I were with you now,that I might change my voice:for I am in doubt of you.
4:21Tell me, you that will be under the Law, do you not hear the Law?
4:22For it is written,that Abraham had two sons, one by a servant,and one by a free woman.
4:23But he who was of the servant, was born after the flesh:and he who was of the free woman, was born by promise.
4:24By the which things another thing is meant: for these mothers are the two covenants, the one who is Hagar of mount Sinai, which gives to bondage.
4:25(For Hagar or Sinai is a mountain in Arabia,and it answers to Jerusalem which now is) and she is in bondage with her children.
4:26But Jerusalem, which is above, is free:which is the mother of us all.
4:27For it is written, Rejoice you barren that bear no children:break forth,and cry, you that do not suffer birth pains:for the desolate has many more children, than she which has a husband.
4:28Therefore, brethren, we are after the manner of Isaac, children of the promise.
4:29But as then he that was born after the flesh, persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
4:30But what says the Scripture? Put out the servant and her son:for the son of the servant shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.
4:31Then brethren, we are not children of the servant,but of the free woman.
Chapter 5
5:1Stand fast therefore in the liberty with what Christos has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
5:2Behold, I Paul say to you,that if you be circumcised, Christos shall profit you nothing.
5:3For I testify again to every man, who is circumcised,that he is bound to keep the whole Law.
5:4You are abolished from Christos:whoever are justified by the Law, you are fallen from grace.
5:5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness through faith.
5:6For in Jesus Christos neither circumcision avails anything,neither uncircumcision,but faith which works by love.
5:7You did run well:who did let you,that you did not obey the truth?
5:8It is not the persuasion of him that calls you.
5:9A little leaven does leaven the whole lump.
5:10I have trust in you through the Kyrios,that you will be none otherwise minded:but he that troubles you, shall bear his condemnation, whoever he be.
5:11And brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the slander of the cross abolished.
5:12Would to God they were even cut off, which do disquiet you.
5:13For brethren, you have been called to liberty:only use not your liberty as an occasion to the flesh,but by love serve one another.
5:14For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, which is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
5:15If you bite and devour one another, take heed lest you be consumed one of another.
5:16Then I say, Walk in the Spirit,and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
5:17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit,and the Spirit against the flesh:and these are contrary one to another, so that you cannot do the same things that you would.
5:18And if you be led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
5:19Moreover the works of the flesh are manifest, which are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, wantonness,
5:20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, debate, jealousies, wrath, contentions, ambitions, heresies,
5:21Envy, murders, drunkenness, gluttony, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also have told you before, that they who do such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of Theos.
5:22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
5:23Meekness, temperance:against such there is no law.
5:24For they that are Christos's, have crucified the flesh with the affections and the lusts.
5:25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
5:26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Chapter 6
6:1Brethren, if a man be suddenly overtaken in any trespass, you which are spiritual, restore such one with the spirit of meekness, considering yourself,lest you also be tempted.
6:2Bear you one another's burden,and so fulfill the Law of Christos.
6:3For if any man seem to himself,that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, he deceives himself in his imagination.
6:4But let every man prove his own work:and then shall he have rejoicing in himself only and not in another.
6:5For every man shall bear his own burden.
6:6Let him that is taught in the word, make him that has taught him, partaker of all his goods.
6:7Be not deceived:Theos is not mocked:for whatever a man sows,that shall he also reap.
6:8For he that sows to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption:but he that sows to the spirit, shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.
6:9Let us not therefore be weary of well-doing:for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
6:10While we have therefore time, let us do good to all men,but especially to them, which are of the household of faith.
6:11You see how large a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
6:12As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised, only because they would not suffer persecution for the cross of Christos.
6:13For they themselves which are circumcised keep not the law,but desire to have you circumcised,that they might rejoice in your flesh.
6:14But God forbid that I should rejoice, but in the cross of our Kyrios Jesus Christos, by what the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
6:15For in Christos Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision,but a new creature.
6:16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace shall be upon them,and eleos,and upon the Israel of Theos.
6:17From now on let no man trouble me:for I bear in my body the marks of the Kyrios Jesus.
6:18Brethren, the grace of our Kyrios Jesus Christos be with your spirit, Amen. To the Galatians written from Rome.
