Galatians 1, side by side

¹Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

¹Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

²and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

²And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

³Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

³Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

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—

⁴Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

⁵to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁵To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁶I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,

⁶I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

⁷but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

⁷Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

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.

⁸But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

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.

⁹As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

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.

¹⁰For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

¹¹But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

¹¹But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

¹²For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹²For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

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.

¹³For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

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.

¹⁴And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace

¹⁵But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,

¹⁶to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,

¹⁶To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

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.

¹⁷Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

¹⁹But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.

¹⁹But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.

²⁰Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

²⁰Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

²¹Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

²¹Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

²²I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

²²And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

²³but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”

²³But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

²⁴So they glorified God in me.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
