- Paul, an apostle--sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead--
- and all the brothers with me, To the churches in Galatia:
- Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
- who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
- to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
|
- I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--
- which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
- But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
- As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
- Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
|
- I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up.
- I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
- For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
- I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
- But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased
|
- to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man,
- nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
- Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter and stayed with him fifteen days.
- I saw none of the other apostles--only James, the Lord's brother.
- I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.
|
- Later I went to Syria and Cilicia.
- I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
- They only heard the report: "The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."
- And they praised God because of me.
