| Gal 1:1 | Paul an apostle--not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead-- |
| Gal 1:2 | and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: |
| Gal 1:3 | Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| Gal 1:4 | who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father; |
| Gal 1:5 | to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
| Gal 1:6 | I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel-- |
| Gal 1:7 | not that there is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. |
| Gal 1:8 | 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. |
| Gal 1:9 | As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed. |
| Gal 1:10 | Am I now seeking the favor 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. |
| Gal 1:11 | For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man's gospel. |
| Gal 1:12 | For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. |
| Gal 1:13 | For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it; |
| Gal 1:14 | 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. |
| Gal 1:15 | But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace, |
| Gal 1:16 | 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, |
| Gal 1:17 | 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. |
| Gal 1:18 | Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days. |
| Gal 1:19 | But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. |
| Gal 1:20 | (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) |
| Gal 1:21 | Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cili'cia. |
| Gal 1:22 | And I was still not known by sight to the churches of Christ in Judea; |
| Gal 1:23 | they only heard it said, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." |
| Gal 1:24 | And they glorified God because of me. |
