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 to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father;
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:5 - to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Perversion of the Gospel

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 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--
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:7 - not that there is another gospel, 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, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 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.

Paul Defends His Ministry

(cf. Act 9:1–25 )
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:11 - For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man's gospel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:12 - For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 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;
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:15 - But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 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.
(cf. Act 9:26–31 )
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:18 - Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, 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 - (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:21 - Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cili'cia.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:22 - And I was still not known by sight to the churches of Christ in Judea;
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:23 - they only heard it said, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:24 - And they glorified God because of me.
