• 1:1　Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),
  • 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，和叫祂从死人中复活的父神，）
  • 1:2　And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
  • 并一切与我同在的众弟兄，写信给加拉太的众召会：
  • 1:3　Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
  • 愿恩典与平安，从神我们的父，并主耶稣基督归与你们。
  • 1:4　Who gave Himself for our sins that He might rescue us out of the present evil age according to the will of our God and Father,
  • 基督照着我们神与父的旨意，为我们的罪舍了自己，要把我们从现今这邪恶的世代救出来。
  • 1:5　To whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
  • 愿荣耀归与祂，直到永永远远。阿们。
  • 1:6　I marvel that you are so quickly removing from Him who has called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel,
  • 我希奇你们这么快离开那在基督的恩典里召了你们的，去归向不同的福音。
  • 1:7　Which is not another gospel, only there are some who trouble you and desire to pervert the gospel of Christ.
  • 那并不是另一个福音，不过是有些人搅扰你们，想要转变基督的福音。
  • 1:8　But if even we or an angel out of heaven should announce to you a gospel beyond that which we have announced to you, let him be accursed.
  • 但即使是我们，或是从天上来的使者，若在我们所传给你们的福音之外，另传一个福音给你们，他就该受咒诅。
  • 1:9　As we have said before, now also I say again, If anyone announces to you a gospel beyond that which you have received, let him be accursed.
  • 我们先前说过，现在我再说，若有人在你们所领受的之外，另传一个福音给你们，他就该受咒诅。
  • 1:10　For am I now trying to win the assent of men or of God? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a slave of Christ.
  • 我现在是要得人的心，还是要得神的心？或者我是要讨人的喜悦么？若我仍讨人的喜悦，我就不是基督的奴仆了。
  • 1:11　For I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel announced by me, that it is not according to man.
  • 弟兄们，我要你们知道，那借着我所传的福音，并不是照着人意的，
  • 1:12　For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation by Jesus Christ.
  • 因为我不是从人领受的，也不是人教导我的，乃是借着耶稣基督的启示领受的。
  • 1:13　For you have heard of my manner of life formerly in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God excessively and ravaged it.
  • 你们听过我从前在犹太教中所行的事，怎样极力逼迫神的召会，并损毁神的召会。
  • 1:14　And I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being more abundantly a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.
  • 我又在犹太教中，比我本族许多同岁的人更有长进，为我祖宗的传统格外热心。
  • 1:15　But when it pleased God, who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,
  • 然而那把我从母腹里分别出来，又借着祂的恩典呼召我的神，
  • 1:16　To reveal His Son in me that I might announce Him as the gospel among the Gentiles, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood,
  • 既然乐意将祂儿子启示在我里面，叫我把祂当作福音传在外邦人中，我就即刻没有与血肉之人商量，
  • 1:17　Neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia and again returned to Damascus.
  • 也没有上耶路撒冷，去见那些比我先作使徒的，却往亚拉伯去，后又回到大马色。
  • 1:18　Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and I remained with him fifteen days.
  • 过了三年，才上耶路撒冷去访问矶法，和他同住了十五天。
  • 1:19　But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
  • 至于别的使徒，除了主的兄弟雅各，我都没有见过。
  • 1:20　Now concerning the things which I am writing to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.
  • 我写给你们的，并不是谎言，看哪，我是在神面前说的。
  • 1:21　Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
  • 后来我到了叙利亚和基利家一带。
  • 1:22　Yet I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which are in Christ.
  • 那时，犹太在基督里的众召会，都还没有见面认识我，
  • 1:23　But they only heard this: He who was formerly persecuting us is now announcing as the gospel the faith which formerly he ravaged.
  • 不过听说，那从前一直逼迫他们的，现在将他原先所损毁的信仰当作福音传扬。
  • 1:24　And they glorified God because of me.
  • 他们就因着我荣耀神。
