Galatians

Galatians 1

1 Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),WEB — Galatians 1:1

2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:WEB — Galatians 1:2

3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,WEB — Galatians 1:3

4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father —WEB — Galatians 1:4

5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.WEB — Galatians 1:5

6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel;WEB — Galatians 1:6

7 and there isn't another gospel. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.WEB — Galatians 1:7

8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.WEB — Galatians 1:8

9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any gospel other than that which you received, let him be cursed.WEB — Galatians 1:9

10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ.WEB — Galatians 1:10

11 But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.WEB — Galatians 1:11

12 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.WEB — Galatians 1:12

13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.WEB — Galatians 1:13

14 I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.WEB — Galatians 1:14

15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,WEB — Galatians 1:15

16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn't immediately confer with flesh and blood,WEB — Galatians 1:16

17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.WEB — Galatians 1:17

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.WEB — Galatians 1:18

19 But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.WEB — Galatians 1:19

20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I'm not lying.WEB — Galatians 1:20

21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.WEB — Galatians 1:21

22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,WEB — Galatians 1:22

23 but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”WEB — Galatians 1:23

24 They glorified God in me.WEB — Galatians 1:24
