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 brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: |
3
|
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, |
4
|
who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, |
5
|
to whom [be] glory forever and ever. Amen. |
6
|
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, |
7
|
which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. |
8
|
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. |
9
|
As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. |
10
|
For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. |
11
|
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. |
12
|
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught [it,] but [it came] through the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
13
|
For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and [tried to] destroy it. |
14
|
And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. |
15
|
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called [me] through His grace, |
16
|
to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, |
17
|
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. |
18
|
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. |
19
|
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother. |
20
|
(Now [concerning] the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.) |
21
|
Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. |
22
|
And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which [were] in Christ. |
23
|
But they were hearing only, "He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once [tried to] destroy." |
24
|
And they glorified God in me. |
