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 brethren that are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
Gal 1:3 grace be 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 world, according to the will of our God and Father:
Gal 1:5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Gal 1:6 I wonder that ye are so soon removed from him who called you by the grace of Christ to another gospel: which is not another;
Gal 1:7 but there be some that disturb you, and would subvert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But tho' we or an angel from heaven should preach to you any other gospel than what we have preached to you; let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 I say it again, if any one preach to you any other gospel than what ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade you to obey men or God? Or do I seek to please men? if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Gal 1:11 But I assure you, brethren, that the gospel preached by me is not of human invention.
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it, nor was taught it by man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gal 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I outragiously persecuted the church of God, and laid it waste:
Gal 1:14 and I made a proficiency in Judaism above many of the same age with me in my own nation, being excessively zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, (who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,)
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 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those that were apostles before me, but I departed into Arabia, and afterwards returned again to Damascus.
Gal 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and I staid with him fifteen days.
Gal 1:19 But I saw no other of the apostles, except James the brother of our Lord.
Gal 1:20 (Now in what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.)
Gal 1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,
Gal 1:22 and was not known in person to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ.
Gal 1:23 But only they had heard that he who persecuted us before, now preacheth the faith which he formerly would have destroyed.
Gal 1:24 And they glorified God on my account.
