11Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, andGod [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,+2and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.+3Grace to you, and peace, fromGod [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,+4who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of ourGod and Father;+5to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.+
No Other Gospel
6I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,+7which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.+8But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.+9As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.+
Paul Preaches the Gospel
10For do I now seek to satisfy men orGod? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.+11But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.+12For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.+13For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly ofGod, and ravaged it;+14and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.+15But whenGod, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,+16was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,+17nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.+18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;+19but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.+20Now what I write to you, behold, beforeGod, I do not lie.+21Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.+22But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;+23only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:+24and they glorifiedGod in me.+
