Paul, an
apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by
Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him
from the dead;)
02 And all the brethren which are with me, unto
the churches of Galatia:
03 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father,
and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
04 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:
05 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
06 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him
that called you into the grace of Christ unto
another gospel:
07 Which is not another; but there be some that
trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of
Christ.
08 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.
09 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.
