Greeting
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.
Only One Gospel
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.
Call to Apostleship
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.
13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how aI persecuted the church of God beyond measure and btried to destroy it.
14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, abeing more exceedingly zealous bfor the traditions of my fathers.
