Galatians 1 Majority Standard Bible

1 Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by 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 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 our Lord Jesus Christ,
3 Gracia [sea] á vosotros, y paz de Dios el Padre, y de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
4 who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and 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 forever and ever. Amen.
5 Al cual [sea] la gloria por siglos de siglos. Amén.
6 I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
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 even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort 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 even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!
8 Mas aun si nosotros ó un ángel del cielo os anunciare otro evangelio del que os hemos anunciado, sea anatema.
9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!
9 Como antes hemos dicho, también ahora decimos otra vez: Si alguno os anunciare otro evangelio del que habéis recibido, sea anatema.
10 Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still trying to please men, 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 But I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
11 Mas os hago saber, hermanos, que el evangelio que ha sido anunciado por mí, no es según hombre;
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from 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 way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy 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 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for 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 God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
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 in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult 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 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later 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 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Peter, and I stayed with him 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 Lord’s brother.
19 Mas á ningún otro de los apóstoles vi, sino á Jacobo el hermano del Señor.
20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
20 Y en esto que os escribo, he aquí, delante de Dios, no miento.
21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
21 Después fuí á las partes de Siria y de Cilicia;
22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
22 Y no era conocido de vista á las iglesias de Judea, que eran en Cristo;
23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
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 because of 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.
