Galatians 1:1-24 KJ21

[1] Paul, an apostle (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 who 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 gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father, [5] to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. [6] I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him, that called you into the grace of Christ, for another gospel. [7] For this is not another; but there are some who trouble you and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. [8] But should we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again: If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that which ye have received, let him be accursed! [10] For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet sought to please men, I should not be the servant of Christ. [11] But I certify to you, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached by me is not according to man; [12] for I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. [13] For ye have heard of my participation in times past in the Jews' religion, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and wasted it. [14] I profited in the Jews' religion beyond many of my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. [15] But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by His grace, [16] to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen, I conferred not immediately with flesh and blood, [17] nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus. [18] Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. [19] But I saw none of the other apostles save James, the Lord's brother. [20] (Now the things which I write 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 Judea which were in Christ; [23] but they had heard only that, "He who persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed." [24] And they glorified God in me.
