Chapter 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
|
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 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 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
Lord's 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. |
