Galatians 1

¹Paul an Apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him fro the dead,

²And all the brethren which are with mee, vnto the Churches of Galatia:

³Grace bee to you and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ,

⁴Who gaue himselfe for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world, according to the will of God, and our Father,

⁵To whom bee glorie for euer and euer, Amen.

⁶I marueile, that you are so soone remoued from him, that called you into the grace of Christ, vnto an other Gospel:

⁷Which is not another; but there bee some that trouble you, and would peruert the Gospel of Christ.

⁸But though we, or an Angel from heauen, preach any other Gospel vnto you, then that which wee haue preached vnto you, let him be accursed.

⁹As we said before, so say I now againe, If any man preach any other Gospel vnto you, then that yee haue receiued, let him be accursed.

¹⁰For doe I now perswade men, or God? or doe I seeke to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not bee the seruant of Christ.

¹¹But I certifie you, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached of me, is not after man.

¹²For I neither receiued it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ.

¹³For yee haue heard of my couuersation in time past, in the Iewes Religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the Church of God, and wasted it:

¹⁴And profited in the Iewes Religion, aboue many my equals in mine owne nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

¹⁵But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace,

¹⁶To reueale his sonne in mee, that I might preach him among the heathen, immediatly I conferred not with flesh and blood:

¹⁷Neither went I vp to Ierusalem, to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and returned againe vnto Damascus.

¹⁸Then after three yeeres, I went vp to Ierusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes.

¹⁹But other of the Apostles saw I none, saue Iames the Lords brother.

²⁰Now the things which I write vnto you, behold, before God I lye not.

²¹Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,

²²And was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ.

²³But they had heard onely, that he which persecuted vs in times past, now preacheth the faith, which once hee destroyed.

²⁴And they glorified God in me.
