Galatians 1

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 作使徒的保罗（不是由于人，也不是借着人，乃是借着耶稣基督，与叫他从死里复活的父 神）

2 and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:

2 和一切与我同在的众弟兄，写信给加拉太的各教会。

3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

3 愿恩惠、平安从父 神与我们的主耶稣基督归与你们！

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 基督照我们父 神的旨意，为我们的罪舍己，要救我们脱离这罪恶的世代。

5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

5 但愿荣耀归于 神，直到永永远远。阿们！

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 我希奇你们这么快离开那借着基督之恩召你们的，去从别的福音。

7 which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.

7 那并不是福音，不过有些人搅扰你们，要把基督的福音更改了。

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 但无论是我们，是天上来的使者，若传福音给你们，与我们所传给你们的不同，他就应当被咒诅。

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 我们已经说了，现在又说，若有人传福音给你们，与你们所领受的不同，他就应当被咒诅。

10 Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

10 我现在是要得人的心呢？还是要得 神的心呢？我岂是讨人的喜欢吗？若仍旧讨人的喜欢，我就不是基督的仆人了。

11 For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.

11 弟兄们，我告诉你们，我素来所传的福音不是出于人的意思。

12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

12 因为我不是从人领受的，也不是人教导我的，乃是从耶稣基督启示来的。

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 你们听见我从前在犹太教中所行的事，怎样极力逼迫残害 神的教会。

14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

14 我又在犹太教中，比我本国许多同岁的人更有长进，为我祖宗的遗传更加热心。

15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased

15 然而，那把我从母腹里分别出来、又施恩召我的 神，

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 既然乐意将他儿子启示在我心里，叫我把他传在外邦人中，我就没有与属血气的人商量，

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 也没有上耶路撒冷去见那些比我先作使徒的，惟独往阿拉伯去，后又回到大马士革。

18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.

18 过了三年，才上耶路撒冷去见矶法，和他同住了十五天。

19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.

19 至于别的使徒，除了主的兄弟雅各，我都没有看见。

20 I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.

20 我写给你们的不是谎话，这是我在 神面前说的。

21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

21 以后我到了叙利亚和基利家境内。

22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.

22 那时，犹太信基督的各教会都没有见过我的面。

23 They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

23 不过听说那从前逼迫我们的，现在传扬他原先所残害的真道。

24 And they glorified God because of me.

24 他们就为我的缘故，归荣耀给 神。
