Read Galatians 1

Galatians1

¹Sha’ul [desired], an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], and God-The Father the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

²And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia [land of the Galli, Gauls, A Celt]:

³Grace [be] to you and peace from God-The Father the Father, and [from] our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah],

⁴Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God-The Father and our Father:

⁵To whom [be] glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁶I marvel that you2f are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Moshiach [Messiah] unto another Gospel (joyful message):

⁷Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel (joyful message) of Moshiach [Messiah].

⁸But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel (joyful message) unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

⁹As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other Gospel (joyful message) unto you than that you2f have received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰For do I now persuade men, or God-The Father? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the slave of Moshiach [Messiah].

¹¹But I certify you, brethren, that the Gospel (joyful message) which was preached of me is not after man.

¹²For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].

¹³For you2f have heard of my Conversation (behavior; way of life; community) in time past in the Y’hudit (Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah]’) religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God-The Father, and wasted it:

¹⁴And profited in the Y’hudit (Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah]’) religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵But when it pleased God-The Father, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called [me] by his grace,

¹⁶To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

¹⁷Neither went I up to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia [steppe-dwellers], and returned again unto Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver].

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to see Kefa [pebble] [pebble], and abode with him fifteen days.

¹⁹But other of the apostles saw I none, save Ya’akov [heal-grabber] the Lord - Kurios’s brother.

²⁰Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God-The Father, I lie not.

²¹Afterwards I came into the regions of Aram [exalted] (Syria [etymology is uncertain]) and Cilicia [the land which rolls];

²²And was unknown by face unto the churches of Y’hudah [praised] which were in Moshiach [Messiah]:

²³But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preaches the faith which once he destroyed.

²⁴And they glorified God-The Father in me.

¹Then fourteen years after I went up again to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] with Bar-Nabba [son of rest], and took Titus [nurse] with [me] also.

²And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that Gospel (joyful message) which I preach among the Goyim [Gentiles], but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

³But neither Titus [nurse], who was with me, being a Greek [unstable: the miry one], was compelled to be circumcised:

⁴And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation], that they might bring us into bondage:

⁵To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the tof the Gospel (joyful message) might continue with you.

⁶But of these who seemed to be somewhat (boasters), (whatsoever they were, it makes no matter to me: God-The Father accepts no man’s person:) for they who seemed [to be somewhat] in conference added nothing to me:

⁷But contrariwise, when they saw that the Gospel (joyful message) of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as [the Gospel (joyful message)] of the circumcision [was] unto Kefa [pebble] [pebble];

⁸(For he that wrought effectually in Kefa [pebble] [pebble] to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Goyim [Gentiles]:)

⁹And when Ya’akov [heal-grabber], Kefa [pebble], and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Bar-Nabba [son of rest] the right hands of fellowship; that we [should go] unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

¹⁰Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

¹¹But when Kefa [pebble] [pebble] was come to Antioch [speedy as a chariot], I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

¹²For before that certain came from Ya’akov [heal-grabber], he did eat with the Goyim [Gentiles]: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

¹³And the other Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] dissembled (used deceit; pretended; feigned) likewise with him; insomuch that Bar-Nabba [son of rest] also was carried away with their hypocrisy.

¹⁴But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the tof the Gospel (joyful message), I said unto Kefa [pebble] [pebble] before [them] all, If youi, being a Jewish person, live after the manner of Goyim [Gentiles], and not as do the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah], why compelles youi the Goyim [Gentiles] to live as do the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah]?

¹⁵We [who are] Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] by nature, and not sinners of the Goyim [Gentiles],

¹⁶Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], even we have believed in Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], that we might be justified by the faith of Moshiach [Messiah], and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

¹⁷But if, while we seek to be justified by Moshiach [Messiah], we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Moshiach [Messiah] the minister of sin? May it not be.

¹⁸For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

¹⁹For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God-The Father.

²⁰I am crucified with Moshiach [Messiah]: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Moshiach [Messiah] lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God-The Father, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

²¹I do not frustrate the grace of God-The Father: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Moshiach [Messiah] is dead in vain.

¹O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you2f should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] has been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

²This only would I learn of you, Received you2f the Spirit [Ruach] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

³Are you2f so foolish? having begun in the Spirit [Ruach], are you2f now made perfect by the flesh?

⁴Have you2f suffered so many things in vain? if [it be] yet in vain.

⁵He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit [Ruach], and works miracles among you, [does he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

⁶Even as Avraham [Exalted Father] believed God-The Father, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

⁷Know you2f therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Avraham [Exalted Father].

⁸And the scripture, foreseeing that God-The Father would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel (joyful message) unto Avraham [Exalted Father], [saying], In youi shall all nations be Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous).

⁹So then they which be of faith are Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) with faithful Avraham [Exalted Father].

¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

¹¹But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God-The Father, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

¹²And the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them.

¹³Moshiach [Messiah] has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangs on a tree:

¹⁴That the blessing of Avraham [Exalted Father] might come on the Goyim [Gentiles] through Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit [Ruach] through faith.

¹⁵Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though [it be] but a man’s covenant, yet [if it be] confirmed, no man disannulls, or adds thereto.

¹⁶Now to Avraham [Exalted Father] and his seed were the promises made. He says not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to youri seed, which is Moshiach [Messiah].

¹⁷And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God-The Father in Moshiach [Messiah], the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

¹⁸For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is] no more of promise: but God-The Father gave [it] to Avraham [Exalted Father] by promise.

¹⁹For what reason then [serves] the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

²⁰Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one, but God-The Father is one.

²¹[Is] the law then against the promises of God-The Father? May it not be: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness should have been by the law.

²²But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] might be given to them that believe.

²³But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

²⁴For what reason the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Moshiach [Messiah], that we might be justified by faith.

²⁵But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

²⁶For you2f are all the children of God-The Father by faith in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation].

²⁷For as many of you as have been baptized into Moshiach [Messiah] have put on Moshiach [Messiah].

²⁸There is neither Jewish [praised] people nor Greek [unstable: the miry one], there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you2f are all one in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation].

²⁹And if you2f [be] Moshiach [Messiah]’s, then are you2f Avraham [Exalted Father]’s [Exalted Father] seed, and heirs according to the promise.

¹Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a slave, though he be lord of all;

²But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

³Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

⁴But when the fullness of the time was come, God-The Father sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

⁵To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the sonship of sons.

⁶And because you2f are sons, God-The Father has sent forth the Spirit [Ruach] of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

⁷For what reason youi are no more a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God-The Father through Moshiach [Messiah].

⁸However then, when you2f knew not God-The Father, you2f did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

⁹But now, after that you2f have known God-The Father, or rather are known of God-The Father, how turn you2f again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto you2f desire again to be in bondage?

¹⁰You2f observe days, and months, and times, and years.

¹¹I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

¹²Brethren, I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you, be as I [am]; for I [am] as you2f [are]: you2f have not injured me at all.

¹³You2f know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the Gospel (joyful message) unto you at the first.

¹⁴And my temptation which was in my flesh you2f despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God-The Father, [even] as Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation].

¹⁵Where is then the blessedness you2f spoke of? for I bear you record, that, if [it had been] possible, you2f would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.

¹⁶Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

¹⁷They zealously affect you, [but] not well; yes, they would exclude you, that you2f might affect them.

¹⁸But [it is] good to be zealously affected always in [a] good [thing], and not only when I am present with you.

¹⁹My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Moshiach [Messiah] be formed in you,

²⁰I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

²¹Tell me, you2f that desire to be under the law, do you2f not hear the law?

²²For it is written, that Avraham [Exalted Father] had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

²³But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman [was] by promise.

²⁴Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

²⁵For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia [steppe-dwellers], and answer to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

²⁶But Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

²⁷For it is written, Rejoice, [youi] barren that bear not; break forth and cry, youi that travaile not: for the desolate has many more children than she which has an husband.

²⁸Now we, brethren, as Yitz’khak [Laughter] was, are the children of promise.

²⁹But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit [Ruach], even so [it is] now.

³⁰Nevertheless what says the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

³¹So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

¹Stand fast therefore in the liberty which Moshiach [Messiah] has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

²Behold, I Sha’ul [desired] say unto you, that if you2f be circumcised, Moshiach [Messiah] shall profit you nothing.

³For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

⁴Moshiach [Messiah] is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; you2f are fallen from grace.

⁵For we through the Spirit [Ruach] wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

⁶For in Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love.

⁷You2f did run well; who did hinder you that you2f should not obey the truth?

⁸This persuasion [comes] not of him that calls you.

⁹A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

¹⁰I have confidence in you through the Lord - Kurios, that you2f will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

¹¹And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer (allow, to let, permit) persecution? then is the offence of the stake (cross) ceased.

¹²I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

¹³For, brethren, you2f have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

¹⁴For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; youi shall love youri neighbour as yourself.

¹⁵But if you2f bite and devour one another, take heed that you2f be not consumed one of another.

¹⁶[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit [Ruach], and you2f shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

¹⁷For the flesh lusts against the Spirit [Ruach], and the Spirit [Ruach] against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you2f cannot do the things that you2f would.

¹⁸But if you2f be led of the Spirit [Ruach], you2f are not under the law.

¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness (being lustful, loose or lewd; promoting lustful desires in others),

²⁰Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, disagreement (dissension), emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

²¹Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God-The Father.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit [Ruach] is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

²³Meekness, self-control: against such there is no law.

²⁴And they that are Moshiach [Messiah]’s have crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts.

²⁵If we live in the Spirit [Ruach], let us also walk in the Spirit [Ruach].

²⁶Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

¹Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you2f which are spiritual, restore such an one in the Spirit [Ruach] of meekness; considering yourself, lest youi also be tried or tested.

²Bear you2f one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Moshiach [Messiah].

³For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

⁴But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

⁵For every man shall bear his own burden.

⁶Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teaches in all good things.

⁷Be not deceived; God-The Father is not deceived: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.

⁸For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit [Ruach] shall of the Spirit [Ruach] reap life everlasting.

⁹And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we give up not.

¹⁰As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

¹¹You2f see how large a letter I have written unto you with my own hand.

¹²As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain (compel with irresistible force) you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer (allow, to let, permit) persecution for the stake (cross) of Moshiach [Messiah].

¹³For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

¹⁴But May it not be that I should glory, save in the stake (cross) of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

¹⁵For in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

¹⁶And as many as walk according to this rule, peace [be] on them, and mercy, and upon the Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God] of God-The Father.

¹⁷From from this time forth (from now on) let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation].

¹⁸Brethren, the grace of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] [be] with your Spirit [Ruach]. Amen. <Unto the Galatians written from Rome [strength].>
