Galatians Chapter 1

Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle, not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,
Gal 1:2 and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.
Gal 1:3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Gal 1:4 who gave Himself for our sins, in order that he might redeem us from the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father:
Gal 1:5 To whom be glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen.
Gal 1:6 I am astonished that you are so quickly removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ into another gospel;
Gal 1:7 which is not another: but there are certain ones who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But indeed if we, or an angel from heaven, may preach unto you any other gospel except that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we have before said, and now again I tell you, If any one preaches to you a gospel except that which you have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For must I now believe men, or God? whether do I seek to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I would not be the servant of Christ.
Gal 1:11 But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel was preached to me, that it is not according to a man;
Gal 1:12 for I did not receive it from man, neither was I taught it, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gal 1:13 For you have heard of my life formerly in Judaism, that I was persecuting the church of God exceedingly, and destroying it:
Gal 1:14 and I was prominent in Judaism above many comrades in my race, being exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Gal 1:15 When the one having separated me, from the womb of my mother, and called me through his grace, was pleased
Gal 1:16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Gal 1:17 neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Gal 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days;
Gal 1:19 but I saw no other of the apostles, except James the brother of the Lord.
Gal 1:20 Which things moreover I write unto you, behold, before God, that I lie not.
Gal 1:21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Gal 1:22 But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which are in Christ.
Gal 1:23 But they were only hearing that The one persecuting us at one time is now preaching the faith which he was once desolating;
Gal 1:24 and they continued to glorify God in me.
