GAL 1:24 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:11–24: Paul received his message from Jesus himself

In this section, Paul stressed that the gospel that he preached came from Jesus Christ himself. No human being taught it to him. Therefore, his message had God’s authority. Paul’s purpose in writing this section was to convince the Galatians that the true gospel is the one that he preached.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Paul’s Message Comes from Christ (NLT)

Jesus Alone Gave Paul the Good News He Spreads (GW)

Paul’s Authority is from God (NCV)

God is the source of Paul’s authority and message

1:24

And they glorified God because of me.

So they were praising God because of what he had done for me.
Because of this report about me, they were giving thanks to God.

And they glorified God because of me: This clause tells the result of 1:23. The believers in Judea heard the report about Paul’s ministry (1:23). As a result, they glorified/praised God:

for changing Paul and
for working through him to spread the faith (1:23b).

Some other ways to translate this clause are:

So they praised God for what had happened to me. (GW)

Therefore they were praising God for what he had done in my life.

Because of this news about me, they gave thanks to God.

glorified God: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as glorified means “praised” or “gave thanks.” The form of the Greek verb indicates that the believers regularly praised God. They did it more than one time.

One other way to translate this verb is:

were praising God

ἐν ἐμοὶ

in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐδόξαζον ἐν ἐμοί τόν Θεόν)

Here, the phrase in me means “because of me” and is giving the reason why the Judean believers were praising God, namely because of Paul’s conversion and work of proclaiming the gospel. If it would help your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: [because of me] or [because of what God was doing with me]
