1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Paul, an apostle--not from men or 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 who are with me: To the churches of Galatia. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want 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 to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him! |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him! |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10For am I now trying to persuade people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation of Jesus Christ. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For you have heard about my former way of life in Judaism: I intensely persecuted God's church and tried to destroy it. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries among my people, because I was extremely zealous for the traditions of my ancestors. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But when God, who from my mother's womb set me apart 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 could preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me; instead I went to Arabia and came back to Damascus. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to get to know Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But I didn't see any of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20I declare in the sight of God: I am not lying in what I write to you. |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Afterward, I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22I remained personally unknown to the Judean churches that are in Christ. |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23They simply kept hearing: "He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith he once tried to destroy." |
24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24And they glorified God because of me. |
