Galatians 1
World English BibleTranslation
World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
1Paulus, Apostolus non ab hominibus, neque per hominem, sed per Jesum Christum, et Deum Patrem, qui suscitavit eum a mortuis:
2and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
2et qui mecum sunt omnes fratres, ecclesiis Galatiæ.
3Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
3Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre, et Domino nostro Jesu Christo,
4who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—
4qui dedit semetipsum pro peccatis nostris, ut eriperet nos de præsenti sæculo nequam, secundum voluntatem Dei et Patris nostri,
5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
5cui est gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
6I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
6Miror quod sic tam cito transferimini ab eo qui vos vocavit in gratiam Christi in aliud Evangelium:
7but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
7quod non est aliud, nisi sunt aliqui qui vos conturbant, et volunt convertere Evangelium Christi.
8But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
8Sed licet nos aut angelus de cælo evangelizet vobis præterquam quod evangelizavimus vobis, anathema sit.
9As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
9Sicut prædiximus, et nunc iterum dico: si quis vobis evangelizaverit præter id quod accepistis, anathema sit.
10For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.
10Modo enim hominibus suadeo, an Deo? an quæro hominibus placere? si adhuc hominibus placerem, Christi servus non essem.
11But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
11Notum enim vobis facio, fratres, Evangelium, quod evangelizatum est a me, quia non est secundum hominem:
12For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
12neque enim ego ab homine accepi illud, neque didici, sed per revelationem Jesu Christi.
13For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.
13Audistis enim conversationem meam aliquando in Judaismo: quoniam supra modum persequebar Ecclesiam Dei, et expugnabam illam,
14I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
14et proficiebam in Judaismo supra multos coætaneos meos in genere meo, abundantius æmulator existens paternarum mearum traditionum.
15But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
15Cum autem placuit ei, qui me segregavit ex utero matris meæ, et vocavit per gratiam suam,
16to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
16ut revelaret Filium suum in me, ut evangelizarem illum in gentibus: continuo non acquievi carni et sanguini,
17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
17neque veni Jerosolymam ad antecessores meos Apostolos: sed abii in Arabiam, et iterum reversus sum Damascum:
18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
18deinde post annos tres veni Jerosolymam videre Petrum, et mansi apud eum diebus quindecim:
19But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
19alium autem Apostolorum vidi neminem, nisi Jacobum fratrem Domini.
20Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
20Quæ autem scribo vobis, ecce coram Deo, quia non mentior.
21Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
21Deinde veni in partes Syriæ, et Ciliciæ.
22I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
22Eram autem ignotus facie ecclesiis Judææ, quæ erant in Christo:
23but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
23tantum autem auditum habebant quoniam qui persequebatur nos aliquando, nunc evangelizat fidem, quam aliquando expugnabat:
24So they glorified God in me.
24et in me clarificabant Deum.
