[1] Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ,ⓘ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— [2] and all the brothers§ who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia: [3] Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, [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— [5] to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. [6] I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”, [7] but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ. [8] But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed. [9] As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed. [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. [11] But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man. [12] For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ. [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. [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. [15] But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace, [16] to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood, [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. [18] Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days. [19] But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother. [20] Now about the things which I write to you, behold,§ before God, I’m not lying. [21] Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. [22] I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ, [23] but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.” [24] So they glorified God in me.

King James Version
[1] Paul, G3972 an apostle, G652 (not G3756 of G575 men, G444 neither G3761 by G1223 man, G444 but G235 by G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and G2532 God G2316 the Father, G3962 who G3588 raised G1453 him G846 from G1537 the dead;) G3498 [2] and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 brethren G80 which are with G4862 me, G1698 unto the G3588 churches G1577 of Galatia: G1053 [3] grace G5485 be to you G5213 and G2532 peace G1515 from G575 God G2316 the Father, G3962 and G2532 from our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 [4] who G3588 gave G1325 himself G1438 for G5228 our G2257 sins, G266 that G3704 he might deliver G1807 us G2248 from G1537 this G3588 present G1764 evil G4190 world, G165 according to G2596 the G3588 will G2307 of God G2316 and G2532 our G2257 Father: G3962 [5] to whom G3739 be glory G1391 for G1519 ever G165 and ever. G165 Amen. G281

Paul Defends His Authority

[6] I marvel G2296 that G3754 ye are G3346 so G3779 soon G5030 removed G3346 from G575 him that G3588 called G2564 you G5209 into G1722 the grace G5485 of Christ G5547 unto G1519 another G2087 gospel: G2098 [7] which G3739 is G2076 not G3756 another; G243 but G1487 G3361 there be G1526 some G5100 that G3588 trouble G5015 you, G5209 and G2532 would G2309 pervert G3344 the G3588 gospel G2098 of Christ. G5547 [8] But G235 though G2532 G1437 we, G2249 or G2228 an angel G32 from G1537 heaven, G3772 preach G2097 any other G3844 gospel G2097 unto you G5213 than G3844 that which G3739 we have preached G2097 unto you, G5213 let him be G2077 accursed. G331 [9] As G5613 we said before, G4280 so G2532 say I G3004 now G737 again, G3825 If G1487 any G5100 man preach G2097 any other G3844 gospel G2097 unto you G5209 than G3844 that G3739 ye have received, G3880 let him be G2077 accursed. G331 [10] For G1063 do I G3982 now G737 persuade G3982 men, G444 or G2228 God? G2316 or G2228 do I seek G2212 to please G700 men? G444 for G1063 if G1487 I G700 yet G2089 pleased G700 men, G444 I G2252 should G302 not G3756 be G2252 the servant G1401 of Christ. G5547 [11] But G1161 I certify G1107 you, G5213 brethren, G80 that G3754 the G3588 gospel G2098 which G3588 was preached G2097 of G5259 me G1700 is G2076 not G3756 after G2596 man. G444 [12] For G1063 I G1473 neither G3761 received G3880 it G846 of G3844 man, G444 neither G3777 was I taught G1321 it, but G235 by G1223 the revelation G602 of Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547 [13] For G1063 ye have heard G191 of my G1699 conversation G391 in time past G4218 in G1722 the G3588 Jews’ religion, G2454 how that G3754 beyond G2596 measure G5236 I persecuted G1377 the G3588 church G1577 of God, G2316 and G2532 wasted G4199 it: G846 [14] and G2532 profited G4298 in G1722 the G3588 Jews’ religion G2454 above G5228 many G4183 my equals G4915§ in G1722 mine own G3450 nation, G1085 being G5225 more exceedingly G4056 zealous G2207 of the G3588 traditions G3862 of my G3450 fathers. G3967 [15] But G1161 when G3753 it pleased G2106 God, G2316 who G3588 separated G873 me G3165 from G1537 my G3450 mother’s G3384 womb, G2836 and G2532 called G2564 me by G1223 his G846 grace, G5485 [16] to reveal G601 his G846 Son G5207 in G1722 me, G1698 that G2443 I might preach G2097 him G846 among G1722 the G3588 heathen; G1484 immediately G2112 I conferred G4323 not G3756 with flesh G4561 and G2532 blood: G129 [17] neither G3761 went I up G424 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 to G4314 them which G3588 were apostles G652 before G4253 me; G1700 but G235 I went G565 into G1519 Arabia, G688 and G2532 returned G5290 again G3825 unto G1519 Damascus. G1154 [18] Then G1899 after G3326 three G5140 years G2094 I went up G424§ to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 to see G2477 Peter, G4074 and G2532 abode G1961 with G4314 him G846 fifteen G1178 days. G2250 [19] But G1161 other G2087 of the G3588 apostles G652 saw I G1492 none, G3756 save G1487 G3361 James G2385 the G3588 Lord’s G2962 brother. G80 [20] Now G1161 the things which G3739 I write G1125 unto you, G5213 behold, G2400 before G1799 God, G2316 G3754 I lie G5574 not. G3756 [21] Afterwards G1899 I came G2064 into G1519 the G3588 regions G2824 of Syria G4947 and G2532 Cilicia; G2791 [22] and G1161 was G2252 unknown G50 by face G4383 unto the G3588 churches G1577 of Judæa G2449 which G3588 were in G1722 Christ: G5547 [23] but G1161 they had heard G191 G2258 only, G3440 That G3754 he which G3588 persecuted G1377 us G2248 in times past G4218 now G3568 preacheth G2097 the G3588 faith G4102 which G3739 once G4218 he destroyed. G4199 [24] And G2532 they glorified G1392 God G2316 in G1722 me. G1698
