Galatians 1 (WEBP)

[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.

Galatians 1:1 “Christ” means “Anointed One”.
Galatians 1:2 The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”
Galatians 1:20 “Behold”, from “ἰδοὺ”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.

Galatians 1 (KJVS)

[1] Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised () him from the dead;)
[2] and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
[3] grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
[4] who gave () himself for our sins, that he might deliver () us from this present () evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
[5] to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
[6] I marvel () that ye are so soon removed () from him that called () you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
[7] which is () not another; but there be () some that trouble () you, and would () pervert () the gospel of Christ.
[8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel () unto you than that which we have preached () unto you, let him be () accursed.
[9] As we said before, () so say I () now again, If any man preach any other gospel () unto you than that ye have received, () let him be () accursed.
[10] For do I now persuade () men, or God? or do I seek () to please () men? for if I yet pleased () men, I should not be () the servant of Christ.
[11] But I certify () you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached () of me is () not after man.
[12] For I neither received () it of man, neither was I taught () it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
[13] For ye have heard () of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted () the church of God, and wasted () it:
[14] and profited () in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being () more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
[15] But when it pleased () God, who separated () me from my mother’s womb, and called () me by his grace,
[16] to reveal () his Son in me, that I might preach () him among the heathen; immediately I conferred () not with flesh and blood:
[17] neither went I up () to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went () into Arabia, and returned () again unto Damascus.
[18] Then after three years I went up () to Jerusalem to see () Peter, and abode () with him fifteen days.
[19] But other of the apostles saw I () none, save James the Lord’s brother.
[20] Now the things which I write () unto you, behold, () before God, I lie () not.
[21] Afterwards I came () into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
[22] and was () unknown () by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ:
[23] but they had () heard () only, That he which persecuted () us in times past now preacheth () the faith which once he destroyed. ()
[24] And they glorified () God in me.
