- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Pavl an Apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father which hath 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 brethren which are with me, vnto the Churches of Galatia:
2 Y todos los hermanos que están conmigo, á las iglesias de Galacia:
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ,
3 Gracia [sea] á vosotros, y paz de Dios el Padre, y de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
4 Which gaue himself for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world according to the will of God euen 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 whom be glory for euer and euer, Amen.
5 Al cual [sea] la gloria por siglos de siglos. Amén.
6 I marueile that ye are so soone remoued away vnto another Gospel, from him that had called you in the grace of Christ,
6 Estoy maravillado de que tan pronto os hayáis traspasado del que os llamó á la gracia de Cristo, á otro evangelio:
7 Which is not another Gospel, saue that there be some which trouble you, and intend to peruert 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 though that we, or an Angel from heauen preach vnto you otherwise, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let him be accursed.
8 Mas aun si nosotros ó un ángel del cielo os anunciare otro evangelio del que os hemos anunciado, sea anatema.
9 As we sayd before, so say I now againe, If any man preach vnto you otherwise, then that ye haue receiued, let him be accursed.
9 Como antes hemos dicho, también ahora decimos otra vez: Si alguno os anunciare otro evangelio del que habéis recibido, sea anatema.
10 For nowe preach I mans doctrine, or Gods? or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the seruant 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 Now I certifie you, brethren, that ye Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man.
11 Mas os hago saber, hermanos, que el evangelio que ha sido anunciado por mí, no es según hombre;
12 For neither receiued I it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ.
12 Pues ni yo lo recibí, ni lo aprendí de hombre, sino por revelación de Jesucristo.
13 For ye haue heard of my conuersation in time past, in the Iewish religion, how that I persecuted the Church of God extremely, and wasted it,
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 profited in the Iewish religion aboue many of my companions of mine owne nation, and was much more zealous of 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 God (which had separated me from my mothers wombe, and 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 reueile his Sonne in me, that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediatly I communicated not with 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 came I againe to Hierusalem to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and turned againe vnto 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 Then after three yeeres I came againe to Hierusalem to visite Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes.
18 Después, pasados tres años, fuí á Jerusalem á ver á Pedro, y estuve con él quince días.
19 And none other of the Apostles sawe I, saue Iames the Lords brother.
19 Mas á ningún otro de los apóstoles vi, sino á Jacobo el hermano del Señor.
20 Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not.
20 Y en esto que os escribo, he aquí, delante de Dios, no miento.
21 After that, I went into the coastes of Syria and Cilicia: for I was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ.
21 Después fuí á las partes de Siria y de Cilicia;
22 But they had heard onely some say, Hee which persecuted vs in time past, nowe preacheth the faith which before he destroyed.
22 Y no era conocido de vista á las iglesias de Judea, que eran en Cristo;
23 And they glorified God for me.
23 Solamente habían oído decir: Aquel que en otro tiempo nos perseguía, ahora anuncia la fe que en otro tiempo destruía.
24 Not in this translation
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.
