11弟兄姊妹，我告訴你們，我傳的福音不是出於人的意思，12因為這福音既不是我從人那裡領受的，也不是我跟人學來的，而是耶穌基督親自啟示我的。13你們都聽說過我信奉猶太教時的所作所為，我怎樣殘酷地迫害上帝的教會，試圖摧毀它。14我在猶太教裡比許多同輩的猶太人更進取，狂熱地維護祖先的傳統。15然而，當我還在母腹中的時候，上帝就施恩將我分別出來並呼召了我。16上帝既然樂意把祂的兒子啟示給我，叫我向外族人傳揚祂的福音，我就沒有跟任何人*商量，17也沒有上耶路撒冷去見那些比我先作使徒的人，而是立刻去了阿拉伯，然後回到大馬士革。18過了三年，我才到耶路撒冷去拜會彼得，和他一起住了十五天。19我也見了主耶穌的弟弟雅各，此外沒有見過其他使徒。20我在上帝面前保證，我寫給你們的絕無謊言。21後來我又到了敘利亞和基利迦地區。22那時，猶太境內基督的眾教會都還沒有見過我的面。23他們只是聽人說：「那個從前迫害我們的人如今在傳揚他曾試圖摧毀的信仰。」24於是他們因為我的緣故將榮耀歸給上帝。

Greeting
1Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—2and all the brothers* who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,4who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
No Other Gospel
6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—7not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.10For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant* of Christ.
Paul Called by God
11For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel.*12For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.13For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.14And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.15But when he who had set me apart before I was born,* and who called me by his grace,16was pleased to reveal his Son to* me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;*17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.19But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother.20(In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)21Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.22And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.23They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”24And they glorified God because of me.
