1:1 Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus
Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches
of Galatia:
1:3 Grace be] to you and peace from God the Father, and from]
our Lord Jesus Christ,
1:4 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:
1:5 To whom be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called
you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you,
and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
1:8 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.
1:9 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.
1:10 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.
1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was
preached of me is not after man.
1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it],
but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1:13 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:
1:14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in
mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the
traditions of my fathers.
1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's
womb, and called me] by his grace,
1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the
heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles
before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto
Damascus.
1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter,
and abode with him fifteen days.
1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the
Lord's brother.
1:20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God,
I lie not.
1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
1:22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which
were in Christ:
1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in
times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
1:24 And they glorified God in me.
2:1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with
Barnabas, and took Titus with me] also.
2:2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them
that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to
them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run,
or had run, in vain.
2:3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was
compelled to be circumcised:
2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who
came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ
Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
2:5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour;
that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, whatsoever they
were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:)
for they who seemed to be somewhat] in conference added nothing
to me:
2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the
uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel] of the
circumcision was] unto Peter;
2:8 For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship
of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the
Gentiles:)
2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars,
perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and
Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go] unto
the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
2:10 Only they would] that we should remember the poor; the
same which I also was forward to do.
2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the
face, because he was to be blamed.
2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with
the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated
himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch
that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to
the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them] all, If
thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not
as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do
the Jews?
2:15 We who are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the
Gentiles,
2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the
law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in
Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ,
and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law
shall no flesh be justified.
2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we
ourselves also are found sinners, is] therefore Christ the
minister of sin? God forbid.
2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make
myself a transgressor.
2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might
live unto God.
2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me.
2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness
come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should
not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been
evidently set forth, crucified among you?
3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by
the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now
made perfect by the flesh?
3:4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be] yet in
vain.
3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and
worketh miracles among you, doeth he it] by the works of the law,
or by the hearing of faith?
3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him
