 1:1  Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by
Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the
dead;)
 1:2  And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches
of Galatia:
 1:3  Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and
[from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
 1:4  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:
 1:5  To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.
 1:6  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called
you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
 1:7  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you,
and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
 1:8  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.
 1:9  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.
 1:10  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.
 1:11  But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was
preached of me is not after man.
 1:12  For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught
[it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
 1:13  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:
 1:14  And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals
in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the
traditions of my fathers.
 1:15  But when it pleased God, who separated me from my
mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
 1:16  To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among
the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
 1:17  Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were
apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again
unto Damascus.
 1:18  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see
Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
 1:19  But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the
Lord's brother.
 1:20  Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before
God, I lie not.
 1:21  Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
 1:22  And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea
which were in Christ:
 1:23  But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in
times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
 1:24  And they glorified God in me.
