Galatians Chapter 1

Gal 1:1 PAUL, a legate, not from men, nor by man, but by Jesus the Messiah, and God his Father, who raised him from the dead;
Gal 1:2 and all the brethren who are with me; unto the churches which are in Galatia.
Gal 1:3 Grace be with you, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah;
Gal 1:4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this evil world, agreeably to the pleasure of God our Father:
Gal 1:5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Gal 1:6 I admire, how soon ye have turned from the Messiah, who called you by his grace, unto another gospel;
Gal 1:7 which doth not exist, except as there are some who would disquiet you, and are disposed to pervert the gospel of the Messiah.
Gal 1:8 But if we, or an angel from heaven, should announce to you differently from what we have announced to you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As I have just said, and now I again say it, that if any one announce to you differently from what ye received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God ? Or do I seek to please men ? For if I had till now pleased men, I should not have been a servant of the Messiah.
Gal 1:11 But I make known to you, my brethren, that the gospel announced by me, was not from man.
Gal 1:12 For I did not receive it and learn it from man, but [I had it] by revelation from Jesus the Messiah.
Gal 1:13 For ye have heard of my former course of life in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God exceedingly, and destroyed it:
Gal 1:14 and that I went much farther in Judaism than many of my contemporaries who were of my nation, and was peculiarly zealous for the doctrine of my fathers.
Gal 1:15 But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
Gal 1:16 to reveal his Son by me, that I should proclaim him among the Gentiles; forthwith, I did not open it to flesh and blood;
Gal 1:17 nor did I go to Jerusalem, to them who were legates before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus:
Gal 1:18 and after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Cephas; and I remained with him fifteen days.
Gal 1:19 But others of the legates I saw not, except James, our Lord's brother.
Gal 1:20 In the things which I am writing to you, behold, before God ! I lie not.
Gal 1:21 And after that, I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Gal 1:22 And the churches in Judaea which were in the Messiah; did not know me personally:
Gal 1:23 but this only had they heard, that he who before persecuted us, now preacheth that faith which in time preceding he subverted:
Gal 1:24 and they glorified God in me.
