Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),
2
and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches 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 from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
5
to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
6
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
7
which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
9
As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you 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 still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
11
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13
For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
