6I’m amazed that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ to follow another gospel.
7It’s not really another gospel, but certain people are confusing you and they want to change the gospel of Christ.
8However, even if we ourselves or a heavenly angel should ever preach anything different from what we preached to you, they should be under a curse.
9I’m repeating what we’ve said before: if anyone preaches something different from what you received, they should be under a curse!
10Am I trying to win over human beings or God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I wouldn’t be Christ’s slave.
11Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that the gospel I preached isn’t human in origin.
12I didn’t receive it or learn it from a human. It came through a revelation from Jesus Christ.
13You heard about my previous life in Judaism, how severely I harassed God’s church and tried to destroy it.
14I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my peers, because I was much more militant about the traditions of my ancestors.
15But God had set me apart from birth and called me through his grace. He was pleased
16to reveal his Son to me, so that I might preach about him to the Gentiles. I didn’t immediately consult with any human being.
17I didn’t go up to Jerusalem to see the men who were apostles before me either, but I went away into Arabia and I returned again to Damascus.
18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.
19But I didn’t see any other of the apostles except James the brother of the Lord.
20Before God, I’m not lying about the things that I’m writing to you!
21Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,
22but I wasn’t known personally by the Christian churches in Judea.
23They only heard a report about me: “The man who used to harass us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
24So they were glorifying God because of me.
