1 Paul, an Apostle, not from men and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,
1 PABLO, apóstol, (no de los hombres, ni por hombre, mas por Jesucristo y por Dios el Padre, que lo resucitó de los muertos),
2 and all the brothers who are with me: to the churches of Galatia.
2 Y todos los hermanos que están conmigo, á las iglesias de Galacia:
3 Grace and peace to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
3 Gracia [sea] á vosotros, y paz de Dios el Padre, y de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
4 who gave himself on behalf of our sins, so that he might deliver us from this present wicked age, according to the will of God our Father.
4 El cual se dió á sí mismo por nuestros pecados para librarnos de este presente siglo malo, conforme á la voluntad de Dios y Padre nuestro;
5 To him is glory forever and ever. Amen.
5 Al cual [sea] la gloria por siglos de siglos. Amén.
6 I wonder that you have been so quickly transferred, from him who called you into the grace of Christ, over to another gospel.
6 Estoy maravillado de que tan pronto os hayáis traspasado del que os llamó á la gracia de Cristo, á otro evangelio:
7 For there is no other, except that there are some persons who disturb you and who want to overturn the Gospel of Christ.
7 No que hay otro, sino que hay algunos que os inquietan, y quieren pervertir el evangelio de Cristo.
8 But if anyone, even we ourselves or an Angel from Heaven, were to preach to you a gospel other than the one that we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
8 Mas aun si nosotros ó un ángel del cielo os anunciare otro evangelio del que os hemos anunciado, sea anatema.
9 Just as we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone has preached a gospel to you, other than that which you have received, let him be anathema.
9 Como antes hemos dicho, también ahora decimos otra vez: Si alguno os anunciare otro evangelio del que habéis recibido, sea anatema.
10 For am I now persuading men, or God? Or, am I seeking to please men? If I still were pleasing men, then I would not be a servant of Christ.
10 Porque, ¿persuado yo ahora á hombres ó á Dios? ¿ó busco de agradar á hombres? Cierto, que si todavía agradara á los hombres, no sería siervo de Cristo.
11 For I would have you understand, brothers, that the Gospel which has been preached by me is not according to man.
11 Mas os hago saber, hermanos, que el evangelio que ha sido anunciado por mí, no es según hombre;
12 And I did not receive it from man, nor did I learn it, except through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
12 Pues ni yo lo recibí, ni lo aprendí de hombre, sino por revelación de Jesucristo.
13 For you have heard of my former behavior within Judaism: that, beyond measure, I persecuted the Church of God and fought against Her.
13 Porque ya habéis oído acerca de mi conducta otro tiempo en el Judaismo, que perseguía sobremanera la iglesia de Dios, y la destruía;
14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my equals among my own kind, having proven to be more abundant in zeal toward the traditions of my fathers.
14 Y aprovechaba en el Judaismo sobre muchos de mis iguales en mi nación, siendo muy más celador [que todos] de las tradiciones de mis padres.
15 But, when it pleased him who, from my mother’s womb, had set me apart, and who has called me by his grace,
15 Mas cuando plugo á Dios, que me apartó desde el vientre de mi madre, y me llamó por su gracia,
16 to reveal his Son within me, so that I might evangelize him among the Gentiles, I did not next seek the consent of flesh and blood.
16 Revelar á su Hijo en mí, para que le predicase entre los Gentiles, luego no conferí con carne y sangre;
17 Neither did I go to Jerusalem, to those who were Apostles before me. Instead, I went into Arabia, and next I returned to Damascus.
17 Ni fuí á Jerusalem á los que eran apóstoles antes que yo; sino que me fuí á la Arabia, y volví de nuevo á Damasco.
18 And then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter; and I stayed with him for fifteen days.
18 Después, pasados tres años, fuí á Jerusalem á ver á Pedro, y estuve con él quince días.
19 But I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the brother of the Lord.
19 Mas á ningún otro de los apóstoles vi, sino á Jacobo el hermano del Señor.
20 Now what I am writing to you: behold, before God, I am not lying.
20 Y en esto que os escribo, he aquí, delante de Dios, no miento.
21 Next, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
21 Después fuí á las partes de Siria y de Cilicia;
22 But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ.
22 Y no era conocido de vista á las iglesias de Judea, que eran en Cristo;
23 For they had only heard that: “He, who formerly persecuted us, now evangelizes the faith which he once fought.”
23 Solamente habían oído decir: Aquel que en otro tiempo nos perseguía, ahora anuncia la fe que en otro tiempo destruía.
24 And they glorified God in me.
24 Y glorificaban á Dios en mí.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… and purity; and may He bestow on you a lot and portion among His saints, and on us with you, and on all that are under heaven, who shall believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, and in His Father, who "raised Him from the dead." Pray for all the saints.
Just, then, as "Paul [was] an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father," [so with the rest;] the Son indeed leading them to the Father, but the Father revealing to them the Son.
Against such parties it is said, "If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ;" and, by the prophet, "They who please men are put to shame, because God hath despised them;" and again, "God hath broken the bones of those who please men;" and again the apostle, "Let us not be desirous of vainglory;" and …

… and darting fire; which thing he himself makes a proof of the power of Him that called him, saying to the Galatians, "Ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God." And the fishermen too He called when they were in the midst of their business.

For though we or an angel from heaven preach to you any other gospel than that ye have received, let him be to you anathema.
