The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians

 1 Paul, an ^aapostle, (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 ^agave himself for our sins, that he might ^bdeliver us from this present evil world, according to the ^cwill of God and our Father:

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

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

 7 Which is not another; but there be some that ^atrouble you, and would ^bpervert the ^cgospel of Christ.

 8 But though we, or an ^aangel from heaven, preach any ^bother ^cgospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ^daccursed.

 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other ^agospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ^baccursed.

 10 For do I now ^apersuade men, or God? or do I seek to ^bplease men? for if I yet ^cpleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

 11 But I ^acertify you, brethren, that the gospel which was ^bpreached of me is not after man.

 12 For I neither received it ^aof man, neither was I taught it, but ^bby the ^crevelation of Jesus Christ.

 13 For ye have heard of my ^aconversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I ^bpersecuted the church of God, and ^cwasted it:

 14 And ^aprofited in the Jews’ religion above many ^bmy equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly ^czealous of the ^dtraditions of my fathers.

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

 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the ^aheathen; immediately I conferred not with ^bflesh 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 ^aJerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

 19 But other of the ^aapostles saw I none, save ^bJames the Lord’s ^cbrother.

 20 Now the things which I ^awrite 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 Judæa 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.
