| 1 | ¶ Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God {the} Father who raised him from among {the} dead, | |
| 2 map | and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia. | |
| 3 | Grace to you, and peace, from God {the} Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, | |
| 4 | who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father; | |
| 5 | to whom {be} glory to the ages of ages. Amen. | |
| 6 | ¶ I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ?s grace, to a different gospel, | |
| 7 | which is not another {one}; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ. | |
| 8 | But if even *we* or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you {anything} besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed. | |
| 9 | As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings {anything} besides what ye have received, let him be accursed. | |
| 10 | ¶ For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ?s bondman. | |
| 11 | But I let you know, brethren, {as to} the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man. | |
| 12 | For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught {them}, but by revelation of Jesus Christ. | |
| 13 | For ye have heard {what was} my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it; | |
| 14 | and advanced in Judaism beyond many {my} contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers. | |
| 15 | But when God, who set me apart {even} from my mother?s womb, and called {me} by his grace, | |
| 16 | was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood, | |
| 17 map | nor went I up to Jerusalem to those {who were} apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus. | |
| 18 map | Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days; | |
| 19 | but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord. | |
| 20 | Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie. | |
| 21 map | Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. | |
| 22 map | But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which {are} in Christ; | |
| 23 | only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged: | |
| 24 | and they glorified God in me. | |
