Galatians Chapter 1

Gal 1:1 PAUL an apostle, not from men nor by man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead,
Gal 1:2 and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia.
Gal 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Gal 1:4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil life according to the will of God even our Father,
Gal 1:5 to whom be the glory forever and ever; amen.
Gal 1:6 I wonder that you have so quickly turned away from him that called you in the grace of Christ to another gospel,
Gal 1:7 which is not another; but there are some who disturb you and wish to subvert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But if we or an angel from heaven preach you another gospel contrary to what we have preached you let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before I now also say again, If any one preaches you a gospel contrary to what you have received let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now obey man, or God? or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I could not have been a servant of Christ.
Gal 1:11 For I certify you, brothers, of the gospel preached by me, that it is not according to man;
Gal 1:12 for I neither received it from man nor was I taught it, but by a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gal 1:13 For you heard of my conduct formerly in Judaism, that I greatly persecuted the church of God and destroyed it;
Gal 1:14 and was a proficient in Judaism beyond many of my age among my people, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Gal 1:15 But when God who gave me being and called me by his grace,
Gal 1:16 was pleased 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 to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went to Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
Gal 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and staid with him fifteen days;
Gal 1:19 and I saw no other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
Gal 1:20 And what I write to you, behold, before God, 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 Christ in Judea,
Gal 1:23 only they heard that he who persecuted us formerly, now preached the faith which he formerly destroyed;
Gal 1:24 and they glorified God in me.
