1Galatians 1

1Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),Select Galatians 1:1

2and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:Select Galatians 1:2

3Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,Select Galatians 1:3

4who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:Select Galatians 1:4

5to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.Select Galatians 1:5

6I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;Select Galatians 1:6

7which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.Select Galatians 1:7

8But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.Select Galatians 1:8

9As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.Select Galatians 1:9

10For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.Select Galatians 1:10

11For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.Select Galatians 1:11

12For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.Select Galatians 1:12

13For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it:Select Galatians 1:13

14and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.Select Galatians 1:14

15But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,Select Galatians 1:15

16to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:Select Galatians 1:16

17neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.Select Galatians 1:17

18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.Select Galatians 1:18

19But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.Select Galatians 1:19

20Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.Select Galatians 1:20

21Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.Select Galatians 1:21

22And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ:Select Galatians 1:22

23but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;Select Galatians 1:23

24and they glorified God in me.Select Galatians 1:24
