THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1

Text size

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 other’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 ⚑
