¶ Paul, an¹ apostle, (not² of men, neither³ by man, but⁴ by Jesus Christ, and⁵ God the Father, who raised⁶ him from the dead;)

And all⁷ the brethren which are with me, unto the churches⁸ of Galatia:

⁹Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who gave¹⁰ himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from¹¹ this present evil world, according¹² to the will of God and our¹³ Father:

To whom¹⁴ be glory for ever and ever. Amen¹⁵.

¶ I marvel¹⁶ that ye are so¹⁷ soon removed from him that called¹⁸ you into the grace¹⁹ of Christ unto²⁰ another gospel:

Which is not another; but²¹ there be some that trouble you, and would pervert²² the gospel of Christ.

But though²³ we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let²⁴ him be accursed²⁵.

As we said before, so²⁶ say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than²⁷ that ye have received, let him be accursed.

¶ For do I now²⁸ persuade²⁹ men, or God? or do I seek³⁰ to please men? for if³¹ I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant³² of Christ.

But I certify you, brethren, that³³ the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For ye³⁴ have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how³⁵ that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

And profited³⁶ in the Jews' religion above many my equals³⁷ in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions³⁸ of my fathers.

But when it³⁹ pleased God, who⁴⁰ separated me from my mother's womb, and⁴¹ called me by his grace,

To reveal⁴² his Son in me, that⁴³ I might preach him among the heathen; immediately⁴⁴ I conferred not with flesh⁴⁵ and blood:

Neither went⁴⁶ I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned⁴⁷ again unto Damascus.

Then after three years I went up⁴⁸ to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James⁴⁹ the Lord's⁵¹ brother.

¶ Now the things which I write unto you, behold⁵², before God, I lie not.

Afterwards I came⁵³ into the regions of Syria and Cilicia⁵⁴;

And was unknown by face unto the churches⁵⁵ of Judaea which were in⁵⁶ Christ:

But they had heard only, That he which⁵⁷ persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

⁵⁸And they glorified God in me.
