Galatians

问候

1作使徒的保罗（不是由于人，也不是借着人，乃是借着耶稣基督，与叫他从死里复活的父 神）

2和一切与我同在的众弟兄，写信给加拉太的各教会。

3愿恩惠、平安从父 神与我们的主耶稣基督归与你们！

4基督照我们父 神的旨意，为我们的罪舍己，要救我们脱离这罪恶的世代。

5但愿荣耀归于 神，直到永永远远。阿们！

没有别的福音

6我希奇你们这么快离开那借着基督之恩召你们的，去从别的福音。

7那并不是福音，不过有些人搅扰你们，要把基督的福音更改了。

8但无论是我们，是天上来的使者，若传福音给你们，与我们所传给你们的不同，他就应当被咒诅。

9我们已经说了，现在又说，若有人传福音给你们，与你们所领受的不同，他就应当被咒诅。

10我现在是要得人的心呢？还是要得 神的心呢？我岂是讨人的喜欢吗？若仍旧讨人的喜欢，我就不是基督的仆人了。

保罗怎样成为使徒

11弟兄们，我告诉你们，我素来所传的福音不是出于人的意思。

12因为我不是从人领受的，也不是人教导我的，乃是从耶稣基督启示来的。

13你们听见我从前在犹太教中所行的事，怎样极力逼迫残害 神的教会。

14我又在犹太教中，比我本国许多同岁的人更有长进，为我祖宗的遗传更加热心。

15然而，那把我从母腹里分别出来、又施恩召我的 神，

16既然乐意将他儿子启示在我心里，叫我把他传在外邦人中，我就没有与属血气的人商量，

17也没有上耶路撒冷去见那些比我先作使徒的，惟独往阿拉伯去，后又回到大马士革。

18过了三年，才上耶路撒冷去见矶法，和他同住了十五天。

19至于别的使徒，除了主的兄弟雅各，我都没有看见。

20我写给你们的不是谎话，这是我在 神面前说的。

21以后我到了叙利亚和基利家境内。

22那时，犹太信基督的各教会都没有见过我的面。

23不过听说那从前逼迫我们的，现在传扬他原先所残害的真道。

24他们就为我的缘故，归荣耀给 神。

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 brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.

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 from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father:

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

6I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.

7Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.

9As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.

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

11For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

12For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

13For you 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.

14And I made progress in the Jews’ religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

15But when it pleased him, 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, immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood.

17Neither went I to Jerusalem, to the apostles who were before me: but I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus.

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

19But other of the apostles I saw none, saving James the brother of the Lord.

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

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

22And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ:

23But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past, doth now preach the faith which once he impugned:

24And they glorified God in me.
