1. Paul, an apostle, (not from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
2. And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3. Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6. I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ to another gospel:
7. Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
9. As we said before, so I say now again, If anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
10. For am I now persuading men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I were yet pleasing men, I would not be the servant of Christ.
11. But I declare to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, except by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13. For you have heard of my conduct in times past in the Jews' religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and devastated it:
14. And advanced in the Jews' religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15. But when it pleased God, who set me apart from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood:
17. Neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19. But I saw none of the other apostles, except James the Lord's brother.
20. Now in the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
21. Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22. And was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ:
23. But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preaches the faith which once he destroyed.
24. And they glorified God because of me.
