Chapter 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:
world

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:
conversation

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.
traditions Matt 15:2, Mark 7:5

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.
brother Matt 12:46, Matt 13:55, Mark 3:31, 6:3, Luke 8:19, John 2:12, John 7:3, 5, Acts 1:14, 1st Cor 9:5

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.
