Gálatas 1
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
1 Pablo, apóstol, no por investidura ni mediación humanas, sino por Jesucristo y por Dios Padre, que lo levantó de entre los muertos; 2 y todos los hermanos que están conmigo,
a las iglesias de Galacia:
3 Que Dios nuestro Padre y el Señor Jesucristo os concedan gracia y paz. 4 Jesucristo dio su vida por nuestros pecados para rescatarnos de este mundo malvado, según la voluntad de nuestro Dios y Padre, 5 a quien sea la gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
No hay otro evangelio
6 Me asombra que tan pronto estéis dejando a quien os llamó por la gracia de Cristo, para pasaros a otro evangelio. 7 No es que haya otro evangelio, sino que ciertos individuos están sembrando confusión entre vosotros y quieren tergiversar el evangelio de Cristo. 8 Pero, aun si alguno de nosotros o un ángel del cielo os predicara un evangelio distinto del que os hemos predicado, ¡que caiga bajo maldición! 9 Como ya lo hemos dicho, ahora lo repito: si alguien os anda predicando un evangelio distinto del que recibisteis, ¡que caiga bajo maldición!
10 ¿Qué busco con esto: ganarme la aprobación humana o la de Dios? ¿Pensáis que procuro agradar a los demás? Si yo buscara agradar a otros, no sería siervo de Cristo.
Pablo, llamado por Dios
11 Quiero que sepáis, hermanos, que el evangelio que yo predico no es invención humana. 12 No lo recibí ni lo aprendí de ningún ser humano, sino que me llegó por revelación de Jesucristo.
13 Vosotros ya estáis enterados de mi conducta cuando pertenecía al judaísmo, de la furia con que perseguía a la iglesia de Dios, tratando de destruirla. 14 En la práctica del judaísmo, yo aventajaba a muchos de mis contemporáneos en mi celo exagerado por las tradiciones de mis antepasados. 15 Sin embargo, Dios me había apartado desde el vientre de mi madre y me llamó por su gracia. Y, cuando él tuvo a bien 16 revelarme a su Hijo para que yo lo predicara entre los gentiles, no consulté con nadie. 17 Tampoco subí a Jerusalén para ver a los que eran apóstoles antes que yo, sino que fui de inmediato a Arabia, de donde luego regresé a Damasco.
18 Después de tres años, subí a Jerusalén para visitar a Pedro,[a] y me quedé con él quince días. 19 No vi a ningún otro apóstol; solo vi a Jacobo, el hermano del Señor. 20 Dios me es testigo de que en esto que os escribo no miento. 21 Más tarde fui a las regiones de Siria y Cilicia. 22 Pero en Judea las iglesias de[b] Cristo no me conocían personalmente. 23 Solo habían oído decir: «El que antes nos perseguía ahora predica la fe que procuraba destruir». 24 Y por mi causa glorificaban a Dios.
Galatians 1
New International Version
1 Paul, an apostle(A)—sent not from men nor by a man,(B) but by Jesus Christ(C) and God the Father,(D) who raised him from the dead(E)— 2 and all the brothers and sisters[a] with me,(F)
To the churches in Galatia:(G)
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,(H) 4 who gave himself for our sins(I) to rescue us from the present evil age,(J) according to the will of our God and Father,(K) 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(L)
No Other Gospel
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called(M) you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel(N)— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion(O) and are trying to pervert(P) the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,(Q) let them be under God’s curse!(R) 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,(S) let them be under God’s curse!
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people?(T) If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Paul Called by God
11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters,(U) that the gospel I preached(V) is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man,(W) nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation(X) from Jesus Christ.(Y)
13 For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism,(Z) how intensely I persecuted the church of God(AA) and tried to destroy it.(AB) 14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous(AC) for the traditions of my fathers.(AD) 15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb(AE) and called me(AF) by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles,(AG) my immediate response was not to consult any human being.(AH) 17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.(AI)
18 Then after three years,(AJ) I went up to Jerusalem(AK) to get acquainted with Cephas[b] and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles—only James,(AL) the Lord’s brother. 20 I assure you before God(AM) that what I am writing you is no lie.(AN)
21 Then I went to Syria(AO) and Cilicia.(AP) 22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea(AQ) that are in Christ.(AR) 23 They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith(AS) he once tried to destroy.”(AT) 24 And they praised God(AU) because of me.

Galatians 1
English Standard Version
Greeting
1 Paul, an (A)apostle—(B)not from men nor through man, but (C)through Jesus Christ and God the Father, (D)who raised him from the dead— 2 and all (E)the brothers[a] who are with me,
To (F)the churches of Galatia:
3 (G)Grace to you and peace (H)from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 (I)who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present (J)evil age, according to the will of (K)our God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
No Other Gospel
6 I am astonished that you are (L)so quickly deserting (M)him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to (N)a different gospel— 7 (O)not that there is another one, but (P)there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or (Q)an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, (R)let him be accursed. 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, (S)let him be accursed.
10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying (T)to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a (U)servant[b] of Christ.
Paul Called by God
11 For (V)I would have you know, brothers, that (W)the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.[c] 12 (X)For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it (Y)through a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you have heard of (Z)my former life in Judaism, how (AA)I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. 14 And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely (AB)zealous was I for (AC)the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when he (AD)who had set me apart (AE)before I was born,[d] and who (AF)called me by his grace, 16 was pleased to reveal his Son to[e] me, in order (AG)that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;[f] 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18 Then (AH)after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James (AI)the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, (AJ)before God, I do not lie!) 21 (AK)Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown in person to (AL)the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me.
