⁷that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

⁸but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you — anathema let him be!

⁹as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive — anathema let him be!

¹⁰for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please — Christ's servant I should not be.

¹¹And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

¹²for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

¹³for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,
