Galatians


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.
