Galatians 1
1. Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised * him from the dead;)
2. And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3. Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4. Who gave * himself for our sins, that he might deliver * us from this present * evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6. I marvel * that ye are * so soon removed * from him that called * you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7. Which is * not another; but there be * some that trouble * you, and would * pervert * the gospel of Christ.
8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach * any other gospel * unto you than that which we have preached * unto you, let him be * accursed.
9. As we said before * , so say I * now again, If any man preach * any other * gospel * unto you than that ye have received * , let him be * accursed.
10. For do I * now persuade * men, or God? or do I seek * to please * men? for if I * yet pleased * men, I should not be * the servant of Christ.
11. But I certify * you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached * of me is * not after man.
12. For I neither received * it of man, neither was I taught * it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13. For ye have heard * of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted * the church of God, and wasted * it:
14. And profited * in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being * more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15. But when it pleased * God,who separated * me from my mother's womb, and called * me by his grace,
16. To reveal * his Son in me, that I might preach * him among the heathen; immediately I conferred * not with flesh and blood:
17. Neither went I up * to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went * into Arabia,and returned * again unto Damascus.
18. Then after three years I went up * to Jerusalem to see * Peter, and abode * with him fifteen days.
19. But other of the apostles saw I * none, save James the Lord's brother.
20. Now the things which I write * unto you, behold * , before God, I lie * not.
21. Afterwards I came * into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22. And was * unknown * by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23. But they had * heard * only, That he which persecuted * us in times past now preacheth * the faith which once he destroyed * .
24. And they glorified * God in me.
