Literal Translation

Galatians 1:1-5



Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, the One raising Him from the dead,



VS.1 Apostle:

Original Word: ἀπόστολος, ου, ὁ

Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine

Transliteration: apostolos

Phonetic Spelling: (ap-os'-tol-os)

Definition: a messenger, envoy, delegate, one commissioned by another to represent him in some way, especially a man sent out by Jesus Christ Himself to preach the Gospel; an apostle.



Paul declares that he is an Apostle not of his own doing,nor of that of any man.

His being an Apostle is directly from Yeshua and ABBA.





Gal 1:2 and all the brothers with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.



vs.2

Notice the word Assemblies,this is the correct understanding of the Greek word 'ekklesia'.



an assembly, a (religious) congregation

Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine

Transliteration: ekkl�sia

Phonetic Spelling: (ek-klay-see'-ah)

Short Definition: an assembly, congregation,

Notice believers 'ASSEMBLE' together to Worthship Yeshua,

they do not 'church'together.



1577 ekklēs�a(from 1537 /ek, "out from and to" and 2564 /kal�ō, "to call") � properly, people called out from the world and to God, the outcome being the Assemblies(the mystical body of Christ) � i.e. the universal (total) body of believers whom God calls out from the world and into His eternal kingdom





Gal 1:3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,



vs.3

Notice where 'Grace' is from,both the Father and the Son.

Notice,the Father is not the Son,nor is the Son the Father.

We have 2/two distinct persons mentioned here,from both of whom 'Grace' originates.

Greek word for Grace:Charis



Original Word: χάρις, ιτος, ἡ

Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine

Transliteration: charis

Phonetic Spelling: (khar'-ece)

Short Definition: grace, favor, kindness

Definition: (a) grace, as a gift or blessing brought to man by Jesus Christ, (b) favor, (c) gratitude, thanks, (d) a favor, kindness.







Cognate: 5485 x�ris (another feminine noun from xar-, "favor, disposed to, inclined, favorable towards, leaning towards to share benefit") � properly, grace. 5485 (x�ris) is preeminently used of the Lord's favor � freely extended to give Himself away to people (because He is "always leaning toward them





Gal 1:4 who gave Himself for our sins, so that He might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,



This is called the 'Unfair' exchange.

The life of the Holy,righteous,sinless,prefect Son of GOD given in exchange ,for the lives of those who will trust Him(Yeshua), to protect them from the wrath of GOD against their sin(s).

LIFE,for a life.





Gal 1:5 to whom be the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.



Yeshua is to recieve Glory,and to also be Glorified.

This is said of GOD ONLY.



If Yeshua is not GOD,He is not worthy of GLORY,nor is He to be Glorified.

This is for GOD and GOD 'ALONE'

John 17:5 `And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;



John 8:54 Jesus answered, `If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;





Yet Yeshua has been Glorified and will continue being Glorified.

He also glorifies His people.



Shalom
