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 Judaea 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.

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 brethren ^G80 which are with ^G4862 me, ^G1698 unto the 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 present ^G1764 evil ^G4190 world, ^G165 according ^G2596 to the 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

⁶ I marvel ^G2296 that ^G3754 ye are ^G3346 so ^G3779 soon ^G5030 removed ^G3346 from ^G575 him that 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 there be ^G1526 some ^G5100 that ^G1508 trouble ^G5015 you, ^G5209 and ^G2532 would ^G2309 pervert ^G3344 the gospel ^G2098 of Christ. ^G5547

⁸ But ^G235 though ^{G2532 G1437} we, ^G2249 or ^G2228 an angel ^G32 from ^G1537 heaven, ^G3772 preach any other 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 any ^G1536 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 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 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 Jews' religion, ^G2454 how that ^G3754 beyond ^G2596 measure ^G5236 I persecuted ^G1377 the church ^G1577 of God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 wasted ^G4199 it: ^G846

¹⁴ And ^G2532 profited ^G4298 in ^G1722 the 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 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 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 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 apostles ^G652 saw I ^G1492 none, ^G3756 save ^G1508 James ^G2385 the 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 regions ^G2824 of Syria ^G4947 and ^G2532 Cilicia; ^G2791

²² And ^G1161 was ^G2252 unknown ^G50 by face ^G4383 unto the churches ^G1577 of Judaea ^G2449 which ^G3588 were in ^G1722 Christ: ^G5547

²³ But ^G1161 they had ^G2258 heard ^G191 only, ^G3440 That ^G3754 he which persecuted ^G1377 us ^G2248 in times past ^G4218 now ^G3568 preacheth ^G2097 the faith ^G4102 which ^G3739 once ^G4218 he destroyed. ^G4199

¹¹ And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

¹² for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught `it', but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

¹³ for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,

¹⁰ For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.

¹¹ But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.

¹² For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³ For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;

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 Gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

⁵ To whom be the glory for ever and ever. So be it.

⁶ I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;

⁷ Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

⁸ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

⁹ As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

¹⁰ Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

¹¹ Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.

¹² For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³ For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

¹⁴ And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

¹⁵ But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,

¹⁶ To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

¹⁷ And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back to Damascus.

¹⁸ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and was there with him fifteen days.

¹⁹ But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.

²⁰ Now God is witness that the things which I am writing to you are true.

²¹ Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.

²² And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:

²³ Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

²⁴ And they gave glory to God in me.
