Galatians, Chapter 1

¹ Paul, an apostle (not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), ² and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:	1 Co2 1:1 Gal 1:11 Act 9:15 Gal 1:15 Act 2:24 2 Php 4:21 Act 16:6 Co1 16:1
³ Grace to you and peace from^aGod our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, ⁴ who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil^b Or worldage, according to the will of our God and Father, ⁵ to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.	3 Rom 1:7 4 Gal 2:20 Mat 13:22 Rom 12:2 Co2 4:4 Php 4:20 5 Rom 11:36
⁶ I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you^c Lit inby the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; ⁷ which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel^d Or other than, more thancontrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be^e Gr anathemaaccursed! ⁹ As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel^f Or other than, more thancontrary to what you received, he is to be^g Gr anathemaaccursed!	6 Rom 8:28 Gal 1:15 Gal 5:8 Co2 11:4 Gal 1:7 Gal 1:11 Gal 2:2 Gal 2:7 Gal 5:14 Ti1 1:3 7 Act 15:24 Gal 5:10 8 Co2 11:14 Rom 9:3 9 Act 18:23 Rom 16:17 Rom 9:3
¹⁰ For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.	10 Co1 10:33 Th1 2:4 Rom 1:1 Php 1:1
¹¹ For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. ¹² For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.	11 Rom 2:16 Co1 15:1 Co1 3:4 Co1 9:8 12 Co1 11:23 Gal 1:1 Co1 2:10 Co2 12:1 Gal 1:16 Gal 2:2
¹³ For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; ¹⁴ and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my^h Lit racecountrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions. ¹⁵ But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased ¹⁶ to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult withⁱ I.e. human beingsflesh and blood, ¹⁷ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.	13 Act 26:4 Act 8:3 Act 22:4 Act 22:5 Co1 10:32 Act 9:21 14 Act 22:3 Jer 9:14 Mat 15:2 Mar 7:3 Col 2:8 15 Isa 49:1 Isa 49:5 Jer 1:5 Act 9:15 Rom 1:1 Gal 1:6 16 Act 9:15 Gal 2:9 Act 9:20 Mat 16:17 17 Act 9:19-22 Act 9:2
¹⁸ Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to^j Or visit Cephasbecome acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days. ¹⁹ But I did not see any other of the apostles except^k Or JacobJames, the Lord’s brother. ²⁰ (Now in what I am writing to you,^l Lit behold before GodI assure you before God that I am not lying.) ²¹ Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. ²² I was still unknown by^m Lit facesight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ; ²³ but only, they kept hearing, “He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy.” ²⁴ And they were glorifying Godⁿ Lit in mebecause of me.	18 Act 9:22 Act 9:26 Joh 1:42 Gal 2:9 Gal 2:11 Gal 2:14 19 Mat 12:46 Act 12:17 20 Rom 9:1 Co2 1:23 Co2 11:31 21 Act 9:30 Act 15:23 Act 15:41 Act 6:9 22 Co1 7:17 Th1 2:14 Rom 16:7 23 Act 6:7 Gal 6:10 Act 9:21 24 Mat 9:8
