Galatians 1

1. (Gala 1:1) Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
2. (Gala 1:2) And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3. (Gala 1:3) Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4. (Gala 1:4) 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. (Gala 1:5) To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6. (Gala 1:6) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7. (Gala 1:7) Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8. (Gala 1:8) But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9. (Gala 1:9) As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10. (Gala 1:10) For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11. (Gala 1:11) But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12. (Gala 1:12) For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13. (Gala 1:13) For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14. (Gala 1:14) And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15. (Gala 1:15) But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16. (Gala 1:16) To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17. (Gala 1:17) Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18. (Gala 1:18) Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19. (Gala 1:19) But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
20. (Gala 1:20) Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21. (Gala 1:21) Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22. (Gala 1:22) And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23. (Gala 1:23) But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24. (Gala 1:24) And they glorified God in me.
