Galatians 1:1-9 ▼

1 From Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor by human agency, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead)

2 and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia.

3 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age according to the will of our God and Father,

5 to whom be glory forever and ever! Amen.

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are following a different gospel--

7 not that there really is another gospel, but there are some who are disturbing you and wanting to distort the gospel of Christ.

8 But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be condemned to hell!

9 As we have said before, and now I say again, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be condemned to hell!
