1 παυλοσ αποστολοσ ουκ απ ανθρωπων ουδε δι ανθρωπου αλλα δια ιησου χριστου και θεου πατροσ του εγειραντοσ αυτον εκ νεκρων
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 και οι συν εμοι παντεσ αδελφοι ταισ εκκλησιαισ τησ γαλατιασ
2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
3 χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ και κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 του δοντοσ εαυτον περι των αμαρτιων ημων οπωσ εξεληται ημασ εκ του ενεστωτοσ αιωνοσ πονηρου κατα το θελημα του θεου και πατροσ ημων
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 ω η δοξα εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων αμην
5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
6 θαυμαζω οτι ουτωσ ταχεωσ μετατιθεσθε απο του καλεσαντοσ υμασ εν χαριτι χριστου εισ ετερον ευαγγελιον
6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,
7 ο ουκ εστιν αλλο ει μη τινεσ εισιν οι ταρασσοντεσ υμασ και θελοντεσ μεταστρεψαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου
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 αλλα και εαν ημεισ η αγγελοσ εξ ουρανου ευαγγελιζηται υμιν παρ ο ευηγγελισαμεθα υμιν αναθεμα εστω
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 ωσ προειρηκαμεν και αρτι παλιν λεγω ει τισ υμασ ευαγγελιζεται παρ ο παρελαβετε αναθεμα εστω
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 αρτι γαρ ανθρωπουσ πειθω η τον θεον η ζητω ανθρωποισ αρεσκειν ει γαρ ετι ανθρωποισ ηρεσκον χριστου δουλοσ ουκ αν ημην
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 γνωριζω δε υμιν αδελφοι το ευαγγελιον το ευαγγελισθεν υπ εμου οτι ουκ εστιν κατα ανθρωπον
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 ουδε γαρ εγω παρα ανθρωπου παρελαβον αυτο ουτε εδιδαχθην αλλα δι αποκαλυψεωσ ιησου χριστου
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 ηκουσατε γαρ την εμην αναστροφην ποτε εν τω ιουδαισμω οτι καθ υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του θεου και επορθουν αυτην
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 και προεκοπτον εν τω ιουδαισμω υπερ πολλουσ συνηλικιωτασ εν τω γενει μου περισσοτερωσ ζηλωτησ υπαρχων των πατρικων μου παραδοσεων
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 οτε δε ευδοκησεν ο θεοσ ο αφορισασ με εκ κοιλιασ μητροσ μου και καλεσασ δια τησ χαριτοσ αυτου
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 αποκαλυψαι τον υιον αυτου εν εμοι ινα ευαγγελιζωμαι αυτον εν τοισ εθνεσιν ευθεωσ ου προσανεθεμην σαρκι και αιματι
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 ουδε ανηλθον εισ ιεροσολυμα προσ τουσ προ εμου αποστολουσ αλλα απηλθον εισ αραβιαν και παλιν υπεστρεψα εισ δαμασκον
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 επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανηλθον εισ ιεροσολυμα ιστορησαι πετρον και επεμεινα προσ αυτον ημερασ δεκαπεντε
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 ετερον δε των αποστολων ουκ ειδον ει μη ιακωβον τον αδελφον του κυριου
19 But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 α δε γραφω υμιν ιδου ενωπιον του θεου οτι ου ψευδομαι
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
21 επειτα ηλθον εισ τα κλιματα τησ συριασ και τησ κιλικιασ
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 ημην δε αγνοουμενοσ τω προσωπω ταισ εκκλησιαισ τησ ιουδαιασ ταισ εν χριστω
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,
23 μονον δε ακουοντεσ ησαν οτι ο διωκων ημασ ποτε νυν ευαγγελιζεται την πιστιν ην ποτε επορθει
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
24 και εδοξαζον εν εμοι τον θεον
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.
