2.5 KiB
Greeting
Chapter 1
-
Paul, an apostle--not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead--
-
and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:
-
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
-
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.No Other Gospel
-
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--
-
not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
-
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
-
As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
-
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.Paul Called by God
-
For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.
-
For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
-
For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.
-
And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.
-
But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace,
-
was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;
-
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
-
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.
-
But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother.
-
(In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)
-
Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
-
And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
-
They only were hearing it said, "He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."
-
And they glorified God because of me.
