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 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 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 a gospel. But there are some who trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
1:8  Although if we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than the one we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
1:9  As we said before, so I say now again: If anyone preaches any other gospel to you than the one you have received, let him be accursed.
1:10  For am I now seeking the approval of men or of God? Or am I trying to please men? For if I were still trying to please men, I would not be the servant of Christ.
1:11  But I reveal to you, brothers, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
1:12  For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, except by a revelation of Jesus Christ.
1:13  For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it,
1:14  and progressed in Judaism above many of my equals in my own heritage, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
1:15  But when it pleased God, who set me apart since I was in my mother’s womb and called me by His grace,
1:16  to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the nations, 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 into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
1:18  After three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter and stayed with him for fifteen days.
1:19  I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
1:20  In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!
1:21  Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia
1:22  and was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.
1:23  They had heard only, “He who persecuted us in times past now preaches the faith which he once destroyed.”
1:24  And they glorified God because of me.
