| 1:1 |
Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
|
| 1:2 |
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
|
| 1:3 |
Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
|
| 1:4 |
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
|
| 1:5 |
To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.
|
| 1:6 |
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
|
| 1:7 |
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
|
| 1:8 |
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.
|
| 1:9 |
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.
|
| 1:10 |
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
|
| 1:11 |
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
|
| 1:12 |
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
|
| 1:13 |
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
|
| 1:14 |
And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
|
| 1:15 |
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
|
| 1:16 |
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
|
| 1:17 |
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
|
| 1:18 |
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
|
| 1:19 |
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
|
| 1:20 |
Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
|
| 1:21 |
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
|
| 1:22 |
And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
|
| 1:23 |
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
|
| 1:24 |
And they glorified God in me.
