| 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 . |
