Chapter 1
1Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
(Hebrew unavailable)
2and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
(Hebrew unavailable)
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
(Hebrew unavailable)
4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
(Hebrew unavailable)
5to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
(Hebrew unavailable)
6I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
(Hebrew unavailable)
7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!
(Hebrew unavailable)
9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!
(Hebrew unavailable)
10Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
11For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
(Hebrew unavailable)
12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
13For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
(Hebrew unavailable)
14I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
(Hebrew unavailable)
15But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
(Hebrew unavailable)
16to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,
(Hebrew unavailable)
17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
18Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
(Hebrew unavailable)
19But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
(Hebrew unavailable)
22I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
23They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
24And they glorified God because of me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
