Galatians 1:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 1:1

1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but ^athrough Jesus Christ and God the Father ^bwho 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 ^awho gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us ^bfrom 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 ^afrom Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,

7 ^awhich is not another; but there are some ^bwho trouble you and want to ^cpervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But even if ^awe, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be¹ accursed.

9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you ^athan what you have received, let him be accursed.

10 For ^ado I now ^bpersuade men, or God? Or ^cdo I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

11 ^aBut I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

12 For ^aI neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came ^bthrough the revelation of Jesus Christ.
