1Galatians 1

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

2And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:Select Galatians 1:2

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

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

5To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.Select Galatians 1:5

6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel:Select Galatians 1:6

7Which is not another; but 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 any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.Select Galatians 1:8

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

10For 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.Select Galatians 1:10

11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.Select Galatians 1:11

12For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.Select Galatians 1:12

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

14And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.Select Galatians 1:14

15But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,Select Galatians 1:15

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

17Neither did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.Select Galatians 1:17

18Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.Select Galatians 1:18

19But I saw no other of the apostles, save James the Lord's brother.Select Galatians 1:19

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

21Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;Select Galatians 1:21

22And was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ:Select Galatians 1:22

23But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.Select Galatians 1:23

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