1:1  Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),
1:2  and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:
1:3  Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
1:4  who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
1:5  to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
1:6  I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
1:7  which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
1:8  But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
1:9  As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
1:10  For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
1:11  But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
1:12  For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1:13  For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
1:14  And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
1:15  But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace,
1:16  to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
1:17  nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
1:18  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.
1:19  But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
1:20  (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)
1:21  Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
1:22  And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.
1:23  But they were hearing only, “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.”
1:24  And they glorified God in me.
