Galatians Chapter 1

Gal 1:1 Paul, an Apostle, not from men, neither by man; but by 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 congregations of Galatia:
Gal 1:3 Favor to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Gal 1:4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
Gal 1:5 to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Gal 1:6 I wonder that you are so soon removed from him who called you into the favor of Christ, to another gospel;
Gal 1:7 which is not another: but there are some who trouble you, and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But if even we, or an angel from heaven, declare a gospel to you, different from what we have declared to you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so now I say again, if any one declare a gospel to you, different from what you have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now conciliate men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Gal 1:11 Now I certify you, brethren, concerning the gospel which was declared by me, that it is not according to men.
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, except by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gal 1:13 You have certainly heard of my behavior formerly in Judaism; that I exceedingly persecuted the congregation of God, and laid it waste;
Gal 1:14 and made progress in Judaism above many of the same age with myself, in my own nation, being more exceedingly jealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Gal 1:15 But when God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his favor, was pleased
Gal 1:16 to reveal his Son to me, that I might declare the good news concerning him to the Gentiles; immediately I did not consult flesh and blood:
Gal 1:17 neither did I go up to Jerusalem, to them who were Apostles before me; but I went away in Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
Gal 1:18 Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem, to become acquainted with Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Gal 1:19 But I saw no other of the Apostles, except James, the Lord’s brother.
Gal 1:20 Now as to the things which I write to you, behold, God is my witness that I do not falsely affirm.
Gal 1:21 After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Gal 1:22 and I was personally unknown to the congregations of Judea which are in Christ.
Gal 1:23 They had only heard that––he who formerly persecuted us, now announces, as glad tidings, the faith which he formerly destroyed.
Gal 1:24 And they glorified God on my account.
