1
Paulos, an emissary— not from Adam, nor through an Adam, but through Yahushua the Anointed and Elohim the Father, who raised him from the dead—
2
and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
3
Grace to you and shalom from Elohim our Father and from Yahushua the Anointed,
4
who gave himself concerning our sins, so that he might deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our Elohim and Father,
5
to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages. Amein.
6
I am astonished that so quickly you are turning away from the One who called you in the grace of the Anointed, toward another besorah—
7
which is not another besorah at all— except that there are some troubling you and desiring to distort the Besorah of the Anointed.
8
But even if we, or a messenger from the heavens, should proclaim to you a besorah contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed.
9
Just as we said before, so now I say again: if anyone proclaims to you a besorah contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed.
10
For am I now seeking the approval of Adam, or of Elohim? Or am I seeking to please Adam? If I were still pleasing Adam, I would not be a servant of the Anointed.
11
For I make known to you, brothers, concerning the besorah proclaimed by me, that it is not according to Adam.
12
For neither did I receive it from an Adam, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of Yahushua the Anointed.
13
For you heard of my former conduct within the ancestral order of the Yehudim— how beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of Elohim and sought to destroy it.
14
And I advanced within the ancestral tradition beyond many of my own generation among my people, being exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15
But when the One who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace was pleased
16
to reveal His Son in me, so that I might proclaim him among the nations, I did not immediately consult flesh and blood,
17
nor did I go up to Yerushalayim to those who were emissaries before me. But I went away into Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
18
Then after three years I went up to Yerushalayim to become acquainted with Kepha, and I remained with him fifteen days.
19
But I saw none of the other emissaries except Yaaqov, the brother of the Master.
20
Now concerning the things I write to you— see— before Elohim, I am not lying.
21
Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Qilikia.
22
And I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Yehudah that were in the Anointed.
23
They only kept hearing: “The one who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the trust which he once sought to destroy.”
24
And they glorified Elohim because of me.
