(For the devil, the *god of this cosmos, coming to steal, kill, and destroy the assembly (ekklēsia), the one body of Christ, and all mortalkind, to cause them to wander away from the one true God and his Word, see Mat. 6:13, 13:19; Mark 1:13a, 4:15, 13:5-6; Luke 13:16, 21:8, 22:3, 31; John 8:44, 10:10a, 13:27; Acts 5:3; 1 Cor. 7:5, 31b; 2 Cor. 2:11, *4:4, 11:13-15; Gal. 1:4; Eph. 4:11-14, 6:11-16; 1 Thes. 2:17-18; 2 Thes. 2:7-12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2, 5:13-15; 2 Tim. 3:13; 1 John 3:11-13, 4:1-6, 5:19; 2 John 1:7; Rev. 2:9, 12-15, 20, 12:7-17; 13:14, 18:21-23, 19:20, 20:3-10)

 

Gal. 1:5 (LIT/UBS4) to whom (hō) [is] the (hē) glory (doxa) into (eis) the (tous) ages (aiōnas) of the (tōn) ages (aiōnōn), truly (amēn)!

 

Gal. 1:6 (LIT/UBS4) I am amazed (thaumazō), because (hoti) thusly (houtōs), quickly (tacheōs), you are causing yourselves to be placed (metatithesthe) away from (apo) the one (tou) having called you aloud (kalesantos humas) in (en) [the] grace (charity) of Christ (Christou), into (eis) [an] evangelism (euangelion) of another kind2087 (heteron),

 

Gal. 1:7 (LIT/UBS4) of which (ho) [evangelism, v6, RE] there is (estin) absolutely not (ouk) another (allo)!

 

There are (eisin) some (tines), if (ei) not (mē) the ones (hoi) troubling (tarassontes) you (humas), desiring (thelontes) also (kai) to twist together (metastrepsai) the (to) Evangelism (euangelion) of the (tou) Christ (Christou).

 

Gal. 1:8 (LIT/UBS4) BUT (alla), if perhaps (ean) we (hēmeis) also (kai), or (ē) [a] messenger (angelos) out (ex) of heaven (ouranou), may cause itself to evangelize (euangelizētai) to you (humin) [[an] Evangelism, v7, RE] beside (par’) that which (ho) we caused ourselves to evangelize (euēngelisametha) to you (humin), let him be (estō) [a] cursed-up one (anathema)!

 

Gal. 1:9 (LIT/UBS4) As (hōs) we said before (proeirēkamen), and (kai) at this time (arti) again (palin) I say (legō), if (ei) anyone (tis) is causing himself to evangelize (euangelizetai) to you (humas) [[an] Evangelism, v7, RE] beside (par’) that which (ho) you received alongside (parelabete) [of us, AE], let him be (estō) [a] cursed-up one (anathema)!

 

Gal. 1:10 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) at this time (arti) do I persuade (peithō) mortals (anthrōpous), or (ē) the (ton) God (theon)?

 

Or (ē) do I search (zētō) to be agreeable (areskein) to mortals (anthrōpois)?

 

If (ei) yet (eti) I am being agreeable (ēreskon) to mortals (anthrōpois), perhaps (an) I am absolutely not causing myself to be (ouk ēmēn) [a] slave (doulos) of Christ (Christou)!?

 

Gal. 1:11 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) I make known (gnōrizō) to you (humin), brothers (adelphoi), the (to) Evangelism (euangelion), the one (to) having been evangelized (euangelisthen) under (hup’) [authority, AE] of me (emou), that (hoti) it is absolutely not (ouk estin) down according to (kata) mortals (anthrōpon)!

 

Gal. 1:12 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar), but absolutely not (oude) did I receive (egō parelabon) it (auto) alongside (para) of [a] mortal (anthrōpou), and absolutely neither (oute) was I taught (edidachthēn) [it, RE], BUT (alla), through (di’) [a] revelation (apokalupseōs) of Jesus (Iēsous) Christ (Christou)!

Gal. 1:14 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) I was beating forward4298 (proekopton) in (en) the (tō) Judaism (Ioudaismō) over (huper) [the sake, AE] of many (pollous) mature-aged ones with (sunēlikiōtas) [me, RE], in (en) the (tō) genus (genei) of me (mou), I being one under control (huparchōn), [a] zealous one (zēlōtēs) abundantly (perissoterōs) of the (tōn) patriarchal (patrikōn) traditions (paradoseōn) of me (mou).

 

Gal. 1:15 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) when (hote) the (ho) God (theos) well-approved (eudokēsen), (the one (ho) having separated (aphorisas) me (me) out (ek) of [the] belly (koilias) of [the] mother (mētros) of me (mou), and (kai) having called aloud (kalesas) [me, AE] through (dia) [the sake, AE] of the (tēs) grace (charitos) of him (autou)),

Gal. 1:18 (LIT/UBS4) Thereupon (epeita), with (meta) [the passing, AE] of three (tria) years (etē), I went up (anēlthon) into (eis) Jerusalem (Hierosoluma) to historicize (historēsai) for Cephas (Kēphan).

 

And (kai) I stayed over (epemeina) to (pros) him (auton) fifteen (dekapente) days (hēmeras).
