**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 mother'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.
