| 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. |
