| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead— |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia: |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse! |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse! |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood, |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24And they glorified God because of me. |
