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

⁶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Christ who called you by his grace to another gospel, Which is not another;⁷ but there are some that trouble you, and would subvert the gospel of Christ.⁸ But if we or an angel from heaven preach to you another gospel than we have preached to you, let him be accursed:⁹ As we have said before, so I say now again, if any preach to you another gospel than that ye received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰ For do I now satisfy men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.¹¹ But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.¹² For neither did I receive it from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.¹³ For ye have heard of my behaviour in time past in the Jewish religion, that above measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it.¹⁴ And I profited in the Jewish religion above many of my years among my countrymen, being more abundantly 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 Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood:¹⁷ Neither did I go up to Jerusalem, to them that were apostles before me, but I immediately went into Arabia, and returned again to 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 I saw none, save James, the brother of the Lord.²⁰ Now the things which I write to you, behold before God, I lie not.²¹ Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.²² And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.²³ Only they had heard, He that persecuted in time past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.²⁴ And they glorified God in me.
