| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1From: Paul—an apostle not sent from men or by a man, but by Jesus the Messiah, 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 in Galatia. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours! |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4He gave himself for our sins in order 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 astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of the Messiah and, instead, are following a different gospel, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7not that another one really exists. To be sure, there are certain people who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel about the Messiah. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that person be condemned! |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9What we have told you in the past I am now telling you again: If anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that person be condemned! |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Am I now trying to win the approval of people or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be the Messiah's servant. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For I did not receive it from a man, nor was I taught it, but it was revealed to me by Jesus the Messiah. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For you have heard about my earlier life in Judaism—how I kept violently persecuting God's church and was trying to destroy it. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries, because I was far more zealous for the traditions of my ancestors. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But when God, who set me apart before I was born and who called me by his grace, was pleased |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16to reveal his Son to me so that I might proclaim him among the gentiles, I did not confer with another human being at any time, |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me. Instead, I went away to Arabia and then came back to Damascus. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Then three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and I stayed with him for fifteen days. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But I did not see any other apostle except James, the Lord's brother. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20(Before God, what I'm writing to you is the truth.) |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22But the churches of the Messiah that are in Judea did not yet know me personally. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23The only thing they kept hearing was this: "The man who used to persecute us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy!" |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24So they kept glorifying God for what had happened to me. |
