Galatians 1:1–10

GREETING

1 Paul,a an apostle—not from men or by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Fatherb who raised him from the deadc—2 and all the brothers who are with me:

To the churches of Galatia.d

3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our LordA Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sinse to rescue us from this present evil age,f according to the will of our God and Father.g 5 To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

NO OTHER GOSPEL

6 I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who calledh you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—7 not that there is another gospel,i but there are somej who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angelk from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you,l a curse be on him!B 9 As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received,m a curse be on him!

10 For am I now trying to persuade people,C or God?n Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
