11Paul, an apostle ( not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),+2and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:+3Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,+4who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:+5to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen.+
No Other Gospel
6I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;+7which is not another [gospel]: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.+8But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.+9As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.+
Paul Preaches the Gospel
10For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.+11For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.+12For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through revelation of Jesus Christ.+13For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it:+14and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.+15But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,+16to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:+17neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.+18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.+19But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.+20Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.+21Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.+22And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ:+23but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;+24and they glorified God in me.+
