| 1:1 |
Paul, an apostle, (not from men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
|
| 1:2 |
And all the brethren who are with me, to 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, to another gospel:
|
| 1:7 |
Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
|
| 1:8 |
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
|
| 1:9 |
As we said before, so I say now again, If any [man] preacheth any other gospel to 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 by me is not according to man.
|
| 1:12 |
For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
|
| 1:13 |
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, 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 my 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 did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
|
| 1:18 |
Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
|
| 1:19 |
But I saw no other of the apostles, save James the Lord's brother.
|
| 1:20 |
Now the things which I write to 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 to the churches of Judea which were in Christ:
|
| 1:23 |
But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
|
| 1:24 |
And they glorified God in me.
