Greeting
Paul’s Gospel Is from God
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 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),
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:2 - and all the brethren who are with me,
To the churches of Galatia:
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:3 - Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:4 - 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:5 - to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Only One Gospel
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:6 - I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:7 - which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:8 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:9 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:10 - 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.
Call to Apostleship
(cf. Acts 9:1–25 )
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:11 - But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:12 - For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:13 - For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:14 - And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:15 - But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:16 - to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:17 - nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Contacts at Jerusalem
(cf. Acts 9:26–31 )
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:18 - Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter,[fn] and remained with him fifteen days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:19 - But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:20 - (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:21 - Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:22 - And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:23 - But they were hearing only, “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:24 - And they glorified God in me.
