| 1 | Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) |
| 2 | And all the brethren which are with me, unto 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 for ever and ever. Amen. |
| 6 | I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: |
| 7 | Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 11 | But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. |
| 12 | For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
| 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: |
| 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. |
| 15 | But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, |
| 16 | To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: |
| 17 | Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. |
| 18 | Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. |
| 19 | But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. |
| 20 | Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. |
| 21 | Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; |
| 22 | And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: |
| 23 | But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. |
| 24 | And they glorified God in me. |
