Passage
Galatians 1.7
Book: Galatians · NASB95
Immediate context (±2 verses)
ASV
5. to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. 6. I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;
7. which is not another gospel only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
- But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema. 9. As we have said before, so say I now again, if any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema. (Galatians 1:5-9, ASV)
WEB
5. to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 6. I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”;
7. and there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
- But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed. 9. As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed. (Galatians 1:5-9, WEB)
KJV
5. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 6. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
- But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:5-9, KJV)
YLT
5. to whom [is] the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen. 6. I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;
7. that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;
- but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you, anathema let him be! 9. as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive, anathema let him be! (Galatians 1:5-9, YLT)

Why these four translations
ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.
The four:
- ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
- WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
- KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
- YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
