加1:1 作使徒的保罗(不是由于人,也不是藉着人,乃是藉着耶稣基督,与叫他从死里复活的父 神),
加1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
加1:2 和一切与我同在的众弟兄,写信给加拉太的各教会:
加1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
加1:3 愿恩惠、平安从父 神与我们的主耶稣基督归与你们。
加1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
加1:4 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。
加1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
加1:5 但愿荣耀归于 神,直到永永远远。阿们!
加1:5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
加1:6 我希奇你们这么快离开那藉着基督之恩召你们的,去从别的福音。
加1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
加1:7 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。
加1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
加1:8 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。
加1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
加1:9 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!
加1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
加1:10 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。
加1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
加1:11 弟兄们,我告诉你们,我素来所传的福音,不是出于人的意思,
加1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
加1:12 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。
加1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
加1:13 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;
加1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
加1:14 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。
加1:14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
加1:15 然而那把我从母腹里分别出来、又施恩召我的 神,
加1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
加1:16 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,
加1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
加1:17 也没有上耶路撒冷去见那些比我先作使徒的,惟独往亚拉伯去,后又回到大马色。
加1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
加1:18 过了三年,才上耶路撒冷去见矶法,和他同住了十五天。
加1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
加1:19 至于别的使徒,除了主的兄弟雅各,我都没有看见。
加1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
加1:20 我写给你们的不是谎话,这是我在 神面前说的。
加1:20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
加1:21 以后我到了叙利亚和基利家境内。
加1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
加1:22 那时,犹太信基督的各教会都没有见过我的面,
加1:22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
加1:23 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。
加1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
加1:24 他们就为我的缘故,归荣耀给 神。
加1:24 And they glorified God in me.
