Galatians:1

Seeker Overlay ON

* Paul , an apostle , (not of men , neither by man , but by Jesus Christ , and God the Father , who raised him from the dead ;) * And all the brethren which are with me , unto the churches of Galatia : * Grace be to you and peace from God the Father , and from our Lord Jesus Christ , * Who gave himself for our sins , that he might deliver us from this present evil world , according to the will of God and our Father : * To whom be glory for ever and ever . Amen . * I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel : * Which is not another ; but there be some that trouble you , and would pervert the gospel of Christ . * But 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 . * As 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 . * For 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 . * But I certify you , brethren , that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man . * For I neither received it of man , neither was I taught it , but by the revelation of Jesus Christ . * For 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 : * And profited in the Jews ' religion above many my equals in mine own nation , being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers . * But when it pleased God , who separated me from my mother 's womb , and called me by his grace , * To reveal his Son in me , that I might preach him among the heathen ; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood : * Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me ; but I went into Arabia , and returned again unto Damascus . * Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter , and abode with him fifteen days . * But other of the apostles saw I none , save James the Lord 's brother . * Now the things which I write unto you , behold , before God , I lie not . * Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia ; * And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ : * But they had heard only , That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed . * And they glorified God in me .
