Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), |
2
|
and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia. |
3
|
Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ, |
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, |
5
|
to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. |
6
|
I marvel that you so soon are being moved away from Him who called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel, |
7
|
which is not another, but some are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ. |
8
|
But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed. |
9
|
As we said before, and now I say again, If anyone preaches a gospel to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed. |
10
|
For now do I persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I would not be a servant of Christ. |
11
|
And, brothers, I make known to you the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man. |
12
|
For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it except by a revelation of Jesus Christ. |
13
|
For you heard my manner of life when I was in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God with surpassing zeal, and ravaged it. |
14
|
And I progressed in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being much more a zealot of the traditions of my fathers. |
15
|
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and having called me by His grace, |
16
|
to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the nations, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood; |
17
|
Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again to Damascus. |
18
|
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days. |
19
|
But I saw no other of the apostles, except James the Lord's brother. |
20
|
And what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie. |
21
|
Then I went into the regions of Syria and of Cilicia, |
22
|
and was unknown by face to the churches of Judea in Christ. |
23
|
But only they were hearing that he who then persecuted us, now preaches the faith which he once ravaged. |
24
|
And they glorified God in me. |
