Galatians Chapter 1

Gal 1:1 Paul an Apostle (not of men, nor by ma, but by Iesus Christ & by God the father, which raysed him vp fro ye deed)
Gal 1:2 & all the brethre which are wt me. Vnto the cogregacios in Galacia.
Gal 1:3 Grace be with you, and peace fro God the father, and oure LORDE Iesus Christ,
Gal 1:4 which gaue him selfe for oure synnes, that he mighte delyuer vs from this present euel worlde, acordinge to the wyll of God oure father,
Gal 1:5 to whom be prayse for euer and euer. Amen.
Gal 1:6 I maruell yt ye are so soone turned (from him that called you in the grace of Christ) vnto another Gospell:
Gal 1:7 which is nothinge els, but that there be some, which trouble you, and intende to peruerte the Gospell of Christ.
Gal 1:8 Neuertheles though we oure selues, or an angell from heaue preach vnto you eny other Gospel, the yt which we haue preached vnto you, the same be acursed.
Gal 1:9 As we haue sayde afore, so saye we now agayne: Yf eny ma preach vnto you eny other thinge, the yt ye haue receaued, ye same be acursed.
Gal 1:10 Preach I men now or God? Or go I aboute to please men? Yf I shulde yet please men, I were not the seruaunt of Christ.
Gal 1:11 But I certifye you brethren, yt the Gospell which is preached of me, is not of men.
Gal 1:12 For I nether receaued it ner lerned it of ma, but by the reuelacion of Iesus Christ.
Gal 1:13 For ye haue herde of my conuersacion afore tyme in the Ieweshippe, how that beyode measure I persecuted the cogregacion of God, and spoyled it,
Gal 1:14 and preuayled in the Ieweshippe aboue many of my companyons in my nacion, & was a moch more feruent manteyner of the tradicions of the fathers.
Gal 1:15 But whan it pleased God which separated me fro my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace,
Gal 1:16 for to declare his sonne in me, that I shulde preach him thorow the Gospell amonge the Heythen, immediatly I commened not of the matter with flesh and bloude:
Gal 1:17 nether came I to Ierusalem vnto them which were Apostles before me: but wente my wayes in to Arabia, and came agayne to Damascon.
Gal 1:18 Then after thre yeare I came to Ierusale to se Peter, and abode with him fyftene dayes.
Gal 1:19 As for the other Apostles, I sawe none of them, saue Iames the LORDES brother.
Gal 1:20 The thinges that I wryte vnto you, beholde, God knoweth, I lye not.
Gal 1:21 After that wente I in to the coastes of Syria and Celicia:
Gal 1:22 but of face I was vnknowne to ye Christen congregacions in Iewrye.
Gal 1:23 Neuertheles they had herde onely, that: He that persecuted vs in tyme passed, preacheth now ye faith which some tyme he destroyed:
Gal 1:24 and they praysed God in me.
