Paul’s Letter to the Galatians

Chapters:

1 2 3 4 5 6

verse #1

Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

verse #2

and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

verse #3

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

verse #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—

verse #5

to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

verse #6

I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,

verse #7

but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

verse #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.

verse #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.

verse #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.

verse #11

But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

verse #12

For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

verse #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.

verse #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.

verse #15

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,

verse #16

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,

verse #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.

verse #18

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

verse #19

But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.

verse #20

Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

verse #21

Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

verse #22

I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

verse #23

but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”

verse #24

So they glorified God in me.
