1:1  Paul, an apostle not from human beings nor through a human being but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead,
1:2  and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
1:3  grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
1:4  who gave himself for our sins that he might rescue us from the present evil age in accord with the will of our God and Father,
1:5  to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
1:6  I am amazed that you are so quickly forsaking the one who called you by [the] grace [of Christ] for a different gospel
1:7  (not that there is another). But there are some who are disturbing you and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.
1:8  But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach [to you] a gospel other than the one that we preached to you, let that one be accursed!
1:9  As we have said before, and now I say again, if anyone preaches to you a gospel other than the one that you received, let that one be accursed!
1:10  Am I now currying favor with human beings or God? Or am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.
1:11  Now I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin.
1:12  For I did not receive it from a human being, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
1:13  For you heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it,
1:14  and progressed in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my race, since I was even more a zealot for my ancestral traditions.
1:15  But when [God], who from my mother’s womb had set me apart and called me through his grace, was pleased
1:16  to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him to the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult flesh and blood,
1:17  nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; rather, I went into Arabia and then returned to Damascus.
1:18  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas and remained with him for fifteen days.
1:19  But I did not see any other of the apostles, only James the brother of the Lord.
1:20  (As to what I am writing to you, behold, before God, I am not lying.)
1:21  Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
1:22  And I was unknown personally to the churches of Judea that are in Christ;
1:23  they only kept hearing that “the one who once was persecuting us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
1:24  So they glorified God because of me.
