“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.” (Galatians 1:1-24 AV)
