| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Paul, an apostle (not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4who gave Himself for our sins so that He might 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 whom be the glory forevermore. Amen. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing 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, he is to be accursed! |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10For am I now seeking the favor 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 bond-servant of Christ. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through 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 immediately consult with flesh and blood, |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more 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 stayed with him fifteen days. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20(Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.) |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ; |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23but only, they kept hearing, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy." |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24And they were glorifying God because of me. |
