- 1
- Pavl an Apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father which hath raised him from the dead)
- 2
- And all the brethren which are with me, vnto the Churches of Galatia:
- 3
- Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ,
- 4
- Which gaue himself for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world according to the will of God euen our Father,
- 5
- To whom be glory for euer and euer, Amen.
- 6
- I marueile that ye are so soone remoued away vnto another Gospel, from him that had called you in the grace of Christ,
- 7
- Which is not another Gospel, saue that there be some which trouble you, and intend to peruert the Gospel of Christ.
- 8
- But though that we, or an Angel from heauen preach vnto you otherwise, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let him be accursed.
- 9
- As we sayd before, so say I now againe, If any man preach vnto you otherwise, then that ye haue receiued, let him be accursed.
- 10
- For nowe preach I mans doctrine, or Gods?
or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the seruant of Christ.
- 11
- Now I certifie you, brethren, that ye Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man.
- 12
- For neither receiued I it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ.
- 13
- For ye haue heard of my conuersation in time past, in the Iewish religion, how that I persecuted the Church of God extremely, and wasted it,
- 14
- And profited in the Iewish religion aboue many of my companions of mine owne nation, and was much more zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
- 15
- But when it pleased God (which had separated me from my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace)
- 16
- To reueile his Sonne in me, that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediatly I communicated not with flesh and blood:
- 17
- Neither came I againe to Hierusalem to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and turned againe vnto Damascus.
- 18
- Then after three yeeres I came againe to Hierusalem to visite Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes.
- 19
- And none other of the Apostles sawe I, saue Iames the Lords brother.
- 20
- Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not.
- 21
- After that, I went into the coastes of Syria and Cilicia:
- 22
- For I was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ.
- 23
- But they had heard onely some say, Hee which persecuted vs in time past, nowe preacheth the faith which before he destroyed.
- 24
- And they glorified God for me.
