1Paul an apostle—sent neither by human commission nor from human authorities but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
2and all the brothers and sisters with me,[#1 Cor 16.1; Phil 4.21]
To the churches of Galatia:
3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4who gave himself for our sins to set us free from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,[#Rom 4.25; 2 Cor 4.4; Gal 2.20]
5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
7not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.[#Acts 15.24; Gal 5.10]
8But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed![#Rom 9.3; 2 Cor 11.4, 14; #1.8 Or a messenger]
9As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed!
10Am I now seeking human approval or God’s approval? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.[#1 Thess 2.4]
11For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin,[#1 Cor 15.1]
12for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
13You have heard, no doubt, of my earlier life in Judaism. I was violently persecuting the church of God and was trying to destroy it.[#Acts 8.3; 9.21]
14I advanced in Judaism beyond many among my people of the same age, for I was far more zealous for the traditions of my ancestors.[#Acts 22.3; Col 2.8]
15But when the one who had set me apart before I was born and called me through his grace was pleased[#Isa 49.1, 5; Jer 1.5; Acts 9.15; Rom 1.1; #1.15 Other ancient authorities read God]
16to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him among the gentiles, I did not confer with any human,[#Acts 9.20; Eph 6.12; #1.16 Gk in me]
17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were already apostles before me, but I went away at once into Arabia, and afterward I returned to Damascus.
18Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days,[#Acts 9.22, 23, 26, 27]
19but I did not see any other apostle except James the Lord’s brother.[#Mt 13.55]
20In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!
21Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,[#Acts 9.30]
22and I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea that are in Christ;[#Rom 16.7; 1 Thess 2.14]
23they only heard it said, “The one who formerly was persecuting us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy.”
24And they glorified God because of me.
