Galatians
1
1 2 3 4 5 6
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 And
all the brethren which are with me, unto 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 ye are so
soon removed from him that called you into the
grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which
is not another; but there be some that trouble
you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 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 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 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 But I certify you, brethren,
that the gospel which was preached of me is not
after man. 12 For I neither received it
of man, neither was I taught it, but by the
revelation of Jesus Christ. 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 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 But
when it pleased God, who separated me from my
mothers womb, and called me by his
grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that
I might preach him among the heathen; immediately
I conferred not with flesh and blood: 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 Then after three
years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and
abode with him fifteen days.
19 But
other of the apostles saw I none, save James the
Lords brother. 20 Now the things
which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie
not. 21 Afterwards I came into the
regions of Syria and Cilicia; 22 And was
unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which
were in Christ: 23 But they had heard
only, That he which persecuted us in times past
now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. 24 And
they glorified God in me.
