Galacia 1
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
1 1-2 Mula kay Pablo na isang apostol, kasama ang lahat ng kapatid dito. Ang pagka-apostol ko ay hindi galing sa tao o sa pamamagitan ng tao, kundi sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo at ng Dios Ama na muling bumuhay sa kanya mula sa kamatayan.
Mahal kong mga kapatid sa mga iglesya[a] diyan sa Galacia:
3 Sumainyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaang galing sa Dios Ama at sa ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. 4 Inialay ni Cristo ang sarili niya para sa mga kasalanan natin, ayon sa kalooban ng ating Dios at Ama. Ginawa niya ito para mailigtas tayo sa kasamaan nitong kasalukuyang mundo. 5 Purihin natin ang Dios magpakailanman! Amen.
Iisa Lang ang Magandang Balita
6 Nagtaka ako dahil ang dali ninyong tumalikod sa Dios na tumawag sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng biyaya ni Cristo. Bumaling kayo sa ibang magandang balita na hindi naman totoo. 7 Ang totoo, walang ibang magandang balita. Nasabi ko ito dahil may mga taong nanggugulo sa inyo, at gusto nilang baluktutin ang Magandang Balita tungkol kay Cristo. 8 Sumpain nawa ng Dios ang sinuman – kami o maging isang anghel galing sa langit – na mangangaral sa inyo ng magandang balita na iba kaysa sa ipinangaral namin sa inyo. 9 Sinabi na namin sa inyo noon at muli kong sasabihin: Kung may mangangaral sa inyo ng magandang balita na iba kaysa sa tinanggap ninyo, sumpain siya ng Dios! 10 Huwag ninyong isipin na ang nais ko ay malugod sa akin ang tao. Hindi! Ang nais ko ay malugod sa akin ang Dios. Kung ang ikalulugod ng tao ang hinahanap ko, hindi ako tunay na lingkod ni Cristo.
Paano Naging Apostol si Pablo
11 Gusto kong malaman ninyo, mga kapatid, na ang Magandang Balitang ipinangaral ko sa inyo ay hindi gawa-gawa lang ng tao. 12 At hindi ko rin ito tinanggap o natutunan mula sa mga tao, kundi ipinahayag mismo sa akin ni Jesu-Cristo.
13 Alam naman ninyo ang dati kong pamumuhay noong kasapi ako sa relihiyon ng mga Judio. Inusig ko nang lubos ang iglesya ng Dios at sinikap ko itong lipulin. 14 At tungkol naman sa pagsunod sa relihiyon ng mga Judio, nahigitan ko ang marami sa mga kaedad ko, dahil tapat kong sinunod ang mga tradisyong nanggaling pa sa mga ninuno namin.
15-16 Ngunit sa awa ng Dios, bago pa man ako ipanganak, pinili na niya ako at tinawag upang ihayag sa akin ang kanyang Anak para maipangaral siya sa mga hindi Judio. Nang mangyari ito, hindi ako sumangguni kaninuman. 17 Hindi rin ako pumunta sa Jerusalem para makipagkita sa mga naunang naging apostol kaysa sa akin. Sa halip, pumunta ako sa Arabia at pagkatapos ay bumalik ako sa Damascus. 18 Pagkatapos ng tatlong taon, pumunta ako sa Jerusalem para makipagkita kay Pedro. Dalawang linggo akong namalagi sa kanya. 19 Wala na akong nakita pang ibang apostol maliban kay Santiago na kapatid ng Panginoon.
20 Totoo ang lahat ng sinasabi ko sa sulat na ito, at alam ng Dios na hindi ako nagsisinungaling.
21 Pagkatapos, pumunta na ako sa Syria at Cilicia. 22 Nang panahong iyon, hindi pa ako personal na nakikita ng mga iglesya sa Judea na nakay Cristo. 23 Nabalitaan lang nila na ang dating umuusig sa kanila ay nangangaral na ngayon ng tungkol sa pananampalatayang sinikap niyang puksain noon. 24 Kaya pinapurihan nila ang Dios dahil sa ginawa niya sa akin.

Galatians 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but (A)through Jesus Christ and God the Father (B)who raised Him from the dead), 2 and all the brethren who are with me,
To the churches of Galatia:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 (C)who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us (D)from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Only One Gospel
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon (E)from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 (F)which is not another; but there are some (G)who trouble you and want to (H)pervert[a] the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if (I)we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be [b]accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you (J)than what you have received, let him be accursed.
10 For (K)do I now (L)persuade men, or God? Or (M)do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Call to Apostleship(N)
11 (O)But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For (P)I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came (Q)through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how (R)I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and (S)tried to destroy it. 14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, (T)being more exceedingly zealous (U)for the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, (V)who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, 16 (W)to reveal His Son in me, that (X)I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with (Y)flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Contacts at Jerusalem(Z)
18 Then after three years (AA)I went up to Jerusalem to see [c]Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But (AB)I saw none of the other apostles except (AC)James, the Lord’s brother. 20 (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)
21 (AD)Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which (AE)were in Christ. 23 But they were (AF)hearing only, “He who formerly (AG)persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they (AH)glorified God in 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.
