mnt - Galatians:1

mnt@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father who raised him from the dead;

mnt@Galatians:1:2 @ with all the brothers who are with me. To the churches of Galatia greeting.

mnt@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

mnt@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age in accordance with the will of our God and Father,

mnt@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

mnt@Galatians:1:6 @ I am amazed that you are so soon shifting your ground, and deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ,

mnt@Galatians:1:7 @ for another gospel, which indeed is not another; only there are certain individuals who are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:8 @ But even though I myself or an angel from heaven were to preach any gospel other than that which I did preach to you, let him be accursed.

mnt@Galatians:1:9 @ I have said it before, and I now repeat it, if any one is preaching a gospel to you other than that which you have received, let him be accursed.

mnt@Galatians:1:10 @ Think you that I am now trying to conciliate men or God? Or am I "seeking to please men"? If I were still seeking to please men, I should not be a slave of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:11 @ For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel I preach is not man-made;

mnt@Galatians:1:12 @ for neither did I myself receive it from man, nor by man was I taught it, but by a revelation an apocalypse of Jesus Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how furiously I used to persecute the church of God, and how I kept seeking to root it out;

mnt@Galatians:1:14 @ and how in my zeal for Judaism I outstripped many of my own age and nation, in my special zeal for the traditions of my forefathers.

mnt@Galatians:1:15 @ But when God who had set me apart from my very birth,

mnt@Galatians:1:16 @ and had called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach his gospel among the Gentiles, without consulting a human being,

mnt@Galatians:1:17 @ or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who had been apostles before me, I went off at once to Arabia, and on my return came back to Damascus.

mnt@Galatians:1:18 @ Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter, and spent two weeks with him.

mnt@Galatians:1:19 @ I saw no other apostle except James, the Lords brother.

mnt@Galatians:1:20 @ (In what I am now writing, I call God to witness that I am telling the truth.)

mnt@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I went into the districts of Syria and Cilicia.

mnt@Galatians:1:22 @ But to the churches of Christ in Judea I was personally unknown;

mnt@Galatians:1:23 @ only they used to hear it said, "He who was once persecuting us is now preaching the gospel of the very faith which he once tried to ruin."

mnt@Galatians:1:24 @ And they were giving glory to God on my account.
