1 Pablo, apóstol (no enviado de los hombres ni por los hombres, sino por Jesucristo mismo y Dios el Padre que lo resucitó de los muertos)
1 Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
2 y los demás hermanos que están conmigo, a las iglesias de Galacia.
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
3 Que en ustedes reposen la paz y el amor de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Él murió por nuestros pecados conforme a los planes de nuestro Dios y Padre, para rescatarnos de este mundo perverso.
4 who 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—
5 A él sea la gloria por los siglos eternos. Amén.
5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
6 Me ha sorprendido que tan pronto se estén apartando ustedes de Dios, quien les llamó y mostró su amor por medio de Cristo. Ahora han adoptado otro evangelio.
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
7 Esto no significa que haya otro evangelio. Más bien me refiero a que hay quienes están tratando de confundirlos y quieren torcer el evangelio de Cristo.
7 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 Que la maldición de Dios caiga sobre cualquiera, sea uno de nosotros o un ángel del cielo, que les predique otro medio de salvación que el que les hemos predicado.
8 But 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.
9 Repito: Si alguien les predica un evangelio diferente del que un día recibieron, que la maldición de Dios caiga sobre esa persona.
9 As 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.
10 Como han visto, no estoy tratando de ganármelos ni de quedar bien con ustedes. Al único que trato de agradar es a Dios. Si todavía buscara agradar a los hombres, no sería siervo de Cristo.
10 For 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.
11 Hermanos, quiero que sepan que el evangelio que yo predico no es una invención humana.
11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
12 No lo recibí ni aprendí de ninguna persona, sino que fue Jesucristo mismo quien me lo enseñó.
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Ya estarán enterados de mi conducta cuando era de la religión judía. Saben que implacablemente perseguí a la iglesia de Dios y que me esforcé por erradicarla de la tierra.
13 For 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.
14 Yo era el más ferviente de mis contemporáneos de mi misma edad, y trataba por todos los medios de cumplir con las reglas tradicionales de mis antepasados.
14 I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Sin embargo, Dios me había escogido desde antes que yo naciera, y me llamó por su gracia. Y cuando él quiso
15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
16 revelarme a su Hijo, para que fuera a predicarlo entre los gentiles, no fui inmediatamente a consultar con nadie,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 ni corrí a Jerusalén a consultar a los que eran apóstoles antes que yo. Al contrario, fui de inmediato a la región de Arabia y después regresé a la ciudad de Damasco.
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 Tres años más tarde fui a Jerusalén a hablar con Pedro y estuve con él quince días.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 Aparte de él, al único apóstol que vi fue a Jacobo, el hermano de nuestro Señor.
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Delante de Dios les aseguro que esto fue lo que sucedió; no miento.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
21 Después fui a las regiones de Siria y Cilicia.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Pero las iglesias de Judea todavía no me conocían personalmente.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
23 Sólo sabían lo que se andaba diciendo: que el antiguo enemigo de los cristianos estaba pregonando la fe que había tratado de destruir.
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
24 Y glorificaban a Dios a causa de mí.
24 So they glorified God in me.

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.
