¹ Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),² and all the brothers that are with me, to the churches of Galatia:³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:⁵ to whom [be] the glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁶ I marvel that you are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel;⁷ which is not another [gospel] only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.⁸ But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be accursed.⁹ As we have said before, so I say now again, if any man preaches to you any gospel other than that which you received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰ For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a slave of Christ.¹¹ For I make known to you, brothers, as concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.¹² For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through revelation of Jesus Christ.¹³ For you have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it:¹⁴ and I advanced in the Jews' 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, [even] 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 Gentiles; right away I did not confer with flesh and blood:¹⁷ neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus.¹⁸ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.¹⁹ But I saw none of the other apostles, save James the Lord's brother.²⁰ Now concerning the things which I write to you, look, before God, I don't lie.²¹ Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.²² And I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ:²³ but they only heard it said, He that once persecuted us now preaches the faith of which he once made havoc;²⁴ and they glorified God in me.
