| 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;) |
|
1:2 | And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of
Galatia: |
|
1:3 | Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our
Lord Jesus Christ, |
|
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: |
|
1:5 | To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
|
1:6 | I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you
into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: |
|
1:7 | Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and
would pervert the gospel of Christ. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
1:11 | But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was
preached of me is not after man. |
|
1:12 | For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but
by the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
|
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: |
|
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. |
|
1:15 | But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's
womb, and called me by his grace, |
|
1:16 | To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the
heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: |
|
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. |
|
1:18 | Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter,
and abode with him fifteen days. |
|
1:19 | But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's
brother. |
|
1:20 | Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I
lie not. |
|
1:21 | Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; |
|
1:22 | And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were
in Christ: |
|
1:23 | But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times
past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. |
|
1:24 | And they glorified God in me. |
