Jubilee2000 - Galatians - 1

1:1  Paul, apostle (not from men neither through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead)

1:2  and all the brethren who are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

1:3  Grace [be] unto you and peace from God the Father and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,

1:4  who gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

1:5  unto whom [be] the glory for the ages of the ages. Amen.

1:6  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel,

1:7  for there is not another; but there are some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of the Christ.

1:8  But [even] if we, or an angel from heaven, were to preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be anathema.

1:9  As we said before, so do I say now again, If anyone preaches any other gospel unto you than what ye have received, let him be anathema.

1:10  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.

1:11  But I make known unto you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not according to man.

1:12  For I did not received it nor learn it from man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

1:13  For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in Judaism, how that beyond measure I was persecuting and destroying the church of God

1:14  And profited in Judaism above many of my equals in my own nation, being exceedingly more zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

1:15  But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called [me] by his grace,

1:16  to reveal his Son in me that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood,

1:17  neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus.

1:18  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter and abode with him fifteen days.

1:19  But I saw none of the other apostles, except James the Lord's brother.

1:20  Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I do not lie.

1:21  Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia

1:22  and was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ,

1:23  but they had only heard, That he who persecuted us in time past now preaches the faith which he once destroyed.

1:24  And they glorified God in me.:
