\subsection{Galatians 1} \VS{1} Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] father having raised him from the dead, \VS{2} and all the brothers with me, to the assemblies\fnEkklhsia{} of Galatia, \VS{3} grace to you and peace from God our father and [our] Lord Jesus Christ, \VS{4} the [one] having given himself in behalf of our sins, in order that he deliver us from this present wicked\fnPoneros{} age, according to the will of our God and father, \VS{5} to whom [be] the glory to the eternities of eternities. \VS{6} I marvel that thus swiftly are you turned away from the [one] having called you by [the] grace of Christ to another good-news, \VS{7} which is not another; except [that] there are those troubling you and wishing to alter\footnote{or ``pervert''} the good-news of Christ. \VS{8} But if we or [an] angel from heaven good-news to you beside what we good-newsed to you, let\fnImperative{} him be accursed. \VS{9} As I have foretold you, and I now say again, if anyone good-news to you beside what you have received, let\fnImperative{} him be accursed. \VS{10} For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to be pleasing men? For if I yet pleased men, I would not be the slave of Christ. \VS{11} For I make known to you, brothers, the good-news [which was] good-newsed by me that is not according to men. \VS{12} For I neither received it from men, neither was I taught [it], but through [the] revelation from Jesus Christ. \VS{13} For you heard my manner-of-life when [I was] in Judaism, that beyond measure I was persecuting the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of God and was pillaging it, \VS{14} and I was advancing in Judaism above many of [my] peers in my race, being [a] far greater zealot of the traditions of my fathers. \VS{15} But when it pleased the [one] having separated me from my mother's belly and having called [me] through his grace \VS{16} to reveal his son in me, in order that I be good-newsing him among the nations, straightway I did not consult with flesh and blood, \VS{17} neither did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me, but I went up to Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus. \VS{18} Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to introduce myself to Cephas\footnote{i.e. Peter}, and I remained with him fifteen days. \VS{19} But other apostles I saw not, except James the brother of the Lord. \VS{20} Now what I write to you, behold before God, I do not lie. \VS{21} Then I came to the region of Syria and Cilicia. \VS{22} But I was unknown by face to the assemblies\fnEkklhsia{} of the Jews in Christ. \VS{23} But they were hearing only that: The [one] persecuting us formerly, now good-newses the faith which he formerly pillaged, \VS{24} and they were glorifying God in me.
