Galatians 1

¹Pavl an Apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father which hath raised him from the dead)

²And all the brethren which are with me, vnto the Churches of Galatia:

³Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ,

⁴Which gaue himself for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world according to the will of God euen our Father,

⁵To whom be glory for euer and euer, Amen.

⁶I marueile that ye are so soone remoued away vnto another Gospel, from him that had called you in the grace of Christ,

⁷Which is not another Gospel, saue that there be some which trouble you, and intend to peruert the Gospel of Christ.

⁸But though that we, or an Angel from heauen preach vnto you otherwise, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let him be accursed.

⁹As we sayd before, so say I now againe, If any man preach vnto you otherwise, then that ye haue receiued, let him be accursed.

¹⁰For nowe preach I mans doctrine, or Gods? or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the seruant of Christ.

¹¹Now I certifie you, brethren, that ye Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man.

¹²For neither receiued I it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ.

¹³For ye haue heard of my conuersation in time past, in the Iewish religion, how that I persecuted the Church of God extremely, and wasted it,

¹⁴And profited in the Iewish religion aboue many of my companions of mine owne nation, and was much more zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵But when it pleased God (which had separated me from my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace)

¹⁶To reueile his Sonne in me, that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediatly I communicated not with flesh and blood:

¹⁷Neither came I againe to Hierusalem to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and turned againe vnto Damascus.

¹⁸Then after three yeeres I came againe to Hierusalem to visite Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes.

¹⁹And none other of the Apostles sawe I, saue Iames the Lords brother.

²⁰Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not.

²¹After that, I went into the coastes of Syria and Cilicia: for I was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ.

²²But they had heard onely some say, Hee which persecuted vs in time past, nowe preacheth the faith which before he destroyed.

²³And they glorified God for me.

Galatians 1

¹Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

²And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

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

⁴Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

⁵To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁶I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

⁷Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

⁸But 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.

⁹As 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.

¹⁰For 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.

¹¹But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

¹²For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³For 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:

¹⁴And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,

¹⁶To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

¹⁷Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

¹⁹But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.

²⁰Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

²¹Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

²²And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judea which were in Christ:

²³But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
