Galatians 1

Paul, an apostle, (^anot of men, neither by man, but ^bby Jesus Christ, and God the Father, ^cwho raised him from the dead;) ²and all ^dthe brethren which are with me, unto the churches of ^eGalatia: ^3fgrace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, ^4gwho gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this ^hpresent ⁱevil world, according to the will of ^jGod and our Father: ^5kto whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁶I marvel that you are ^lso soon ^mremoved from ⁿhim that called you into the grace of Christ unto ^oanother gospel: ⁷which is not another; but there be some that ^ptrouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. ⁸But though we, or ^qan angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ^raccursed. ⁹As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach ^sany other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ^raccursed. ¹⁰For ^tdo I now ^upersuade men, or God? or do I seek ^wto please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

¹¹But ^xzI certify you, brethren, that ^ythe gospel which was preached of me is not after man. ¹²For ^zI neither received it ^aof man, neither was I taught it, but by ^athe revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹³For ye have heard of my ^bconversation in time past in the ^cJews’ religion, how that ^dbeyond measure I persecuted ^ethe church of God, and ^fwasted it: ¹⁴and ^gprofited in the ^cJews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, ^hbeing more exceedingly zealous of ⁱthe traditions of my fathers. ¹⁵But when ^jit pleased God, ^kwho separated me from my mother’s womb, and ^lcalled me by his grace, ^16ato reveal his Son in me, ^mthat I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I ⁿconferred not with ^oflesh and blood: ¹⁷neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but I went into ^pArabia, and returned again unto ^qDamascus. ¹⁸Then after ^rthree years ^rrI went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him ^sfifteen days. ¹⁹But other of the apostles saw I none, save ^tJames ^uthe Lord’s brother. ²⁰Now the things which I write unto you, behold, ^wbefore God, I lie not. ²¹Afterwards I came into the ^xregions of ^ySyria and ^zCilicia; ²²and was unknown by face unto ^athe churches of Judea ^bwhich were in Christ: ²³but they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he ^fdestroyed. ²⁴And ^cthey glorified God in me.
