| 1 | Galatians | ||
| 1 | Paul an apostle - not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead - | Salutation Ga.1.1-5 | |
| 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, | Ga.1.3-4 | |
| 4 | who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father; | ||
| 5 | to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. | ||
| 6 | I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace and turning to a different gospel - | There is No Other Gospel Ga.1.6-10 | |
| 7 | not that there is another gospel, 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, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed. | ||
| 9 | As we have said before, so now I say again, If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed. | ||
| 10 | Am I now seeking the favour of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ. | ||
| 11 | For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man's gospel. | How Paul Became an Apostle Ga.1.11-24 | |
| 12 | For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. | ||
| 13 | For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it; | ||
| 14 | and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. | ||
| 15 | But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace, | ||
| 16 | was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood, | ||
| 17 | nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus. | ||
| 18 | Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days. | ||
| 19 | But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. | ||
| 20 | (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) | ||
| 21 | Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. | ||
| 22 | And I was still not known by sight to the churches of Christ in Judea; | ||
| 23 | they only heard it said, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." | ||
| 24 | And they glorified God because of me. | ||
