Galatians 1

1 Sha'ul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Yeshua the Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead), 2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia: 3 Grace to you and shalom from God the Father, and our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father -- 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amein.

6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Messiah to a different Good News; 7 and there isn't another Good News. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Messiah. 8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any Good News other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed. 9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any Good News other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Messiah. 11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man. 12 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua the Messiah. 13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Yehudim' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it. 14 I advanced in the Yehudim' religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace, 16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Goyim, I didn't immediately confer with flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Yerushalayim to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into `Arav. Then I returned to Dammesek. 18 Then after three years I went up to Yerushalayim to visit Kefa, and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 But of the other apostles I saw no one, except Ya`akov, the Lord's brother. 20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I'm not lying. 21 Then I came to the regions of Aram and Cilicia. 22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Yehudah which were in Messiah, 23 but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy." 24 They glorified God in me.
