Galatians Chapter 1 (KJV)
undefined
Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
undefined
and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
undefined
Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
undefined
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:
undefined
to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
undefined
I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;
undefined
which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
undefined
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.
undefined
As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.
undefined
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
undefined
For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.
undefined
For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
undefined
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it:
undefined
and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
undefined
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,
undefined
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:
undefined
neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.
undefined
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.
undefined
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
undefined
Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
undefined
Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
undefined
And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ:
undefined
but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;
undefined
and they glorified God in me.
