Lettera ai Galati - Galatians 1

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Παυλος αποστολος ουχι απο ανθρωπων, ουδε δι' ανθρωπου, αλλα δια Ιησου Χριστου και Θεου Πατρος του αναστησαντος αυτον εκ νεκρων,	1 Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,
2 και παντες οι μετ' εμου αδελφοι, προς τας εκκλησιας της Γαλατιας?	2 And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.
3 χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος και Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου,	3 Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 οστις εδωκεν εαυτον δια τας αμαρτιας ημων, δια να ελευθερωση ημας εκ του παροντος πονηρου αιωνος κατα το θελημα του Θεου και Πατρος ημων,	4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5 εις τον οποιον εστω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων? αμην.	5 To whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6 Θαυμαζω οτι τοσον ταχεως μεταφερεσθε απο εκεινου, οστις σας εκαλεσε δια της χαριτος του Χριστου, εις αλλο ευαγγελιον,	6 I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.
7 το οποιον δεν ειναι αλλο, αλλ' υπαρχουσι τινες, οι οποιοι σας ταραττουσι και θελουσι να μετατρεψωσι το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου.	7 Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Αλλα και εαν ημεις η αγγελος εξ ουρανου σας κηρυττη αλλο ευαγγελιον παρα εκεινο, το οποιον σας εκηρυξαμεν, ας ηναι αναθεμα.	8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
9 Καθως προειπομεν, και τωρα παλιν λεγω? Εαν τις σας κηρυττη αλλο ευαγγελιον παρα εκεινο, το οποιον παρελαβετε, ας ηναι αναθεμα.	9 As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
10 Διοτι τωρα ανθρωπους πειθω η τον Θεον; η ζητω να αρεσκω εις ανθρωπους; διοτι εαν ακομη ηρεσκον εις ανθρωπους, δεν ηθελον εισθαι δουλος Χριστου.	10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 Αλλα σας γνωστοποιω, αδελφοι, οτι το ευαγγελιον το κηρυχθεν υπ' εμου δεν ειναι ανθρωπινον?	11 For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12 διοτι ουδ' εγω παρελαβον αυτο παρα ανθρωπου ουτε εδιδαχθην, αλλα δι' αποκαλυψεως Ιησου Χριστου.	12 For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Διοτι ηκουσατε την ποτε διαγωγην μου εν τω Ιουδαισμω, οτι καθ' υπερβολην εδιωκον την εκκλησιαν του Θεου και εκακοποιουν αυτην,	13 For you 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.
14 και προεκοπτον εις τον Ιουδαισμον υπερ πολλους συνηλικιωτας εν τω γενει μου, περισσοτερον ζηλωτης υπαρχων των πατρικων μου παραδοσεων.	14 And I made progress in the Jews' religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Οτε δε ηυδοκησεν ο Θεος, ο προσδιορισας με εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και καλεσας δια της χαριτος αυτου,	15 But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16 να αποκαλυψη τον Υιον αυτου εν εμοι, δια να κηρυττω αυτον μεταξυ των εθνων, ευθυς δεν συνεβουλευθην σαρκα και αιμα,	16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood.
17 ουδε ανεβην εις Ιεροσολυμα προς τους προ εμου αποστολους, αλλ' απηλθον εις Αραβιαν και παλιν υπεστρεψα εις Δαμασκον.	17 Neither went I to Jerusalem, to the apostles who were before me: but I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus.
18 Επειτα μετα ετη τρια ανεβην εις Ιεροσολυμα, δια να γνωρισω προσωπικως τον Πετρον, και εμεινα παρ' αυτω ημερας δεκαπεντε?	18 Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem, to see Peter, and I tarried with him fifteen days.
19 αλλον δε των αποστολων δεν ειδον, ειμη Ιακωβον τον αδελφον του Κυριου.	19 But other of the apostles I saw none, saving James the brother of the Lord.
20 Οσα δε σας γραφω, ιδου, ενωπιον του Θεου ομολογω οτι δεν ψευδομαι.	20 Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Επειτα ηλθον εις τους τοπους της Συριας και της Κιλικιας.	21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Και ημην προσωπικως αγνοουμενος εις τας εκκλησιας της Ιουδαιας τας εν Χριστω?	22 And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ:
23 ηκουον δε μονον οτι ο ποτε διωκων ημας, τωρα κηρυττει την πιστιν, την οποιαν ποτε κατεπολεμει,	23 But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past, doth now preach the faith which once he impugned:
24 και εδοξαζον τον Θεον δι' εμε.	24 And they glorified God in me.
