The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians

Return to Index

Chapter 1

1


 

  Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),  

 

 

--

2


 

  and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:  

 

 

--

3


 

  Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,  

 

 

--

4


 

  who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father --  

 

 

--

5


 

  to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.  

 

 

--

6


 

  I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel;  

 

 

--

7


 

  and there isn't another gospel. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.  

 

 

--

8


 

  But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.  

 

 

--

9


 

  As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any gospel other than that which you received, let him be cursed.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ.  

 

 

--

11


 

  But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.  

 

 

--

12


 

  For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.  

 

 

--

13


 

  For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.  

 

 

--

14


 

  I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.  

 

 

--

15


 

  But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,  

 

 

--

16


 

  to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn't immediately confer with flesh and blood,  

 

 

--

17


 

  nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.  

 

 

--

19


 

  But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I'm not lying.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.  

 

 

--

22


 

  I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,  

 

 

--

23


 

  but they only heard: 'He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.'  

 

 

--

24


 

  They glorified God in me.  

 

 

--
