Galatians 1

¹Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

²And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

³Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father:

⁵To whom be the glory for ever and ever. So be it.

⁶I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;

⁷Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

⁸But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

⁹As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

¹⁰Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

¹¹Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.

¹²For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
