Galatians 1
1 Paulos, an apostle, not from men, nor by men, but by Jeshu the Meshiha, and Aloha his Father, who raised him from among the dead,2 and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches which are in Galatia:3 Grace be with you and peace, from Aloha the Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from this evil world, according to the will of Aloha our Father:5 to whom be glory to the age of ages. Amen.
6 I am amazed how soon you have been turned from the Meshiha himself, who called you by his grace,7 unto another gospel, which it is not; but there are men who disturb you, and (who) wish to remove you from the gospel of the Meshiha.8 But if we also, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you other than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. [fn] 9 9 As I have said before, and now again say to you, If any man preach to you other than what you have received, let him be accursed. [fn]
10 For now do I persuade men, or Aloha? or do I seek to please men? For if until now I had pleased men, I should not have been the servant of the Meshiha.11 But I make known to you, my brethren, that the gospel which is preached by me was not from man:12 for neither from man had I received it and taught it, but by the revelation of Jeshu the Meshiha.13 For you have heard of my former manners in Judaism [fn] , that I exceedingly persecuted the church of Aloha, and made it desolate. 14 And I excelled in Judaism more than many of the sons of my years who were of my kindred, and was exceedingly zealous for the doctrine of my fathers.15 But, when He willed who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,16 to reveal his Son in me, that I should preach among the nations, immediately I did not disclose to flesh and to blood;17 neither went I to Urishlem, to the apostles who were before me, but I went into Arabia, and again returned unto Darmsuk.18 And after three years I went unto Urishlem, that I might see Kipha, and I remained with him days fifteen.19 But others of the apostles I saw not, only Jakub, the brother of our Lord.20 But these which I write to you, behold, before Aloha, [fn] that I lie not. 21 And after these I went to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia.22 Neither did the churches of Jihud which are in the Meshiha know me by face.23 But this only they had heard, that he who had formerly persecuted us, behold, now preacheth he that faith which he beforetime had overthrown.24 And in me they glorified Aloha.
